I really hate people right now.

ugh man Igby...saying that your situation truly sucks would just be repeating what's already been said numerous times but dang, there's almost nothing else to say...
'cept, um, yeah dont put so much faith and expectations into the campus security...they almost never take their job seriously. i mean, it's sad cuz they're there for a reason and ya'll SHOULD be able to rely on them in such times of need as yours but sadly the majority of them fail.
now, i was raised by a town sheriff and although i'd love to say something nice about all of them the simple truth is some of THEM dont take their job serious enough either but from my experience it's been alot of the older one's who are just waiting to retire and end up not really caring too much.
they're not ALL that way though and it saddens me when people decide to hate the entire police population over the mistakes of a few.
but Igby, good luck with finding the guys.

Sounds like you have an awesome lead! Keep us in the know on what happens.

Igby, sorry doesn't cut it but I really am sorry that happened to you in the first place and then that you were treated how you were. That's unacceptable. Like mommanessy said though, not all cops are useless or otherwise don't take their job seriously. Like a lot of things (reptile owners, for instance!), it only takes a few turds in the punch bowl to ruin people's perceptions. I'm a cop and work with some incredible people and some incredibly lazy slobs who are getting paid to do nothing. Please, whatever you do, don't lump all cops together as doughnut eating blobs who don't care at all about their fellow human beings, as that isn't the case for most of us.

I'm not sure of your area of the country, but where I live, the both of those clowns would be looking at multiple felonies including criminal recklessness for almost dragging you down the street with their car. Hopefully the campus cops get the hint and actually do something worthwhile with their investigation; if not, you could always request a copy of the report and if need be file a Freedom of Information Act request if they aren't cooperative in giving you one. If no report was completed, you could take it up with the city or county level of law enforcement, as those agencies would have jurisdiction over the campus as well or with the county or city attorney's office, whoever prosecutes criminal cases in your area as to why no follow-up was conducted to investigate the crime(s).

I'm really sorry for the situation and that the people employed to take care of those things did a less than stellar job helping you. Let us know how it turns out and take care!

Yes, I know. I won't lump all cops together, I was just really angry. I was supposed to get a copy of the report yesterday (I was specifically told to come in and get it yesterday) and when I got to the school only one officer was there and most of the lights were off. I asked him about my report and he informed me (while playing solitare) that the guy who is in charge of all of the reports (the guy who wouldn't take the time to look at the surveillance video...fml) was off yesterday and won't be back until Monday, so I guess I will get it then. I don't see why he'd tell me to come get it the next day when it was his day off.

[youbeyouibei]

Wow...! That sounds like incompetence at it's finest! I'd be talking to the Chief or barring that, the university/school president about the lack of response you've gotten with their officers. That's a load of crap. It's called public service for a reason, for cryin' out loud!

Keep at it and I sincerely hope they do something about it other than give it a cursory glance and call it good. Good luck, man!

[LizardPants]

I'm sorry this occurred.

If you want the university to help, you may have to show them how you could cause this to become bad publicity for the university. If nothing else will get them to pay attention, the notion of protecting their image will. Everything that you posted about this within your first post needs to be taken above the heads of the campus police. Contact your local media, and mention to your campus that you have done so. Do not be directly threatening, but you should not waver from your stance. Also it is very important that you follow through with any actions that you state you will take. Demonstrate that under no uncertain terms, that this crime will reflect poorly upon the university.

[SlitherinSisters]

Oh my gosh that is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe the campus police aren't doing anything about it. Is there a way you can get the real police involved. I know campus police are a bit of joke....

Good luck with everything. I would be furious!

[Igby]

This sucks. I stop being pissed off and it's replaced by fear. I have class tomorrow and I really don't want to go back there.

[hoax]

That is terrible on so many levels. The fact that no one helped is disgusting then on top of that the rent-a-pig can't even do their job. If it is a private company I would file a complaint with his supervisor and that persons supervisor, if they work for the school I would get a meeting with the dean or who ever the highest person you can get access to.

As far as the justice system goes it is every where.
I wrecked my moms car when I was about 17. I was on my way home from school a guy pulled out in front of me I swerved to miss him and lost control. He left the scene and went to an electrical shop, my dad happened to know the guy. Any way long story short I give the DA his address, drivers license #, Name, license plate, and his name they tell me there is nothing they can do and I am wasting their time...

A friend of mine adopted a girl who was brutally molested from the age of 4 to about 8 by her step-dad. The DA has a book about the case and lost it! 6 years later (last week) they find it and decide to prosecute.

I live in the country and I carry at least one pistol in my pocket and a rifle or shotgun in my vehicle. I have a firearm in every room and by each entry door in my house. I am not afraid/paranoid but I do know that there will be no one there when my family needs protection, everyone in my house knows how to safely operate all of our guns even my son.
