That's nuts. Unfortunately it's what I've come to expect of most police. Friend of mine had a similar story: Some kids started smashing his car windows, so he called the guards (nearest station just down the road). They said they'd come down but never showed up. A few hours later same kids came back doing the same thing. Called the guards, we'll be there in a minute, never showed up.
Black kids? Right? While temp renting a room with a coworker in Virginia while on a subcontract at a nearby shipyard a black neighbor decided no one was there since the roomie was out and started busting through the windows on the door. Door is down a flight of stairs. I ran to the top of the stairs, saw what the noise was and knowing this guy was huge and violent I retrieved my shotgun. Came back and screamed "I have a gun". He wasn't impressed. I chambered a round and screamed the same thing. He's not impressed. I came half way down the stairs still screaming the same thing and he's still breaking the window and now has his hand inside trying to disengage the dead bolt. I take the safety off, take aim and scream, "I'm gonna blow your hand off!!!". He looks up and runs.
Adrenaline turns out to be a terrible drug. I staggered back up the stairs, laid down and almost passed out. Way too much stress for peace loving self. A few minutes later I hide the shotgun and call the cops. They show up, seem uninterested and when I tell them I know who this guy is and where he lives they say, "Well, we didn't see it and we can't go there without a warrant". They refuse to take action and leave.
I take the next day off and go to police station to see what action I can get and it's a total waste of time. Go to work the next day and the foreman says I'm fired because I took an unauthorized day off and wasn't actually sick. Excuse rejected. On to the next subcontract. I was packed up and loaded out that afternoon and on the road before the sun went down.
He didn't specify, but given the area they were likely white. Unfortunately this city is plagued with what I can only describe as white niggers and the government is fixing the situation by importing actual niggers.

Bull fucking shit. You know damn well if it was one of their families they'd be hauling him out on the street in seconds.
That's nuts about your neighbour. Usually burglers are highly reluctant to break glass, and even more reluctant to invade an occupied home.

Probably for the best.
Some background about that break in. My roomie had spent a couple nights with him for the D. I'm no prude and I wasn't doing her, (She was a huge black from my home state and I'm white. NOT happening but we got along well) Second hookup she left him in the apartment and on the way to work I told her I had a bad feeling. "Ah, he's fine" Never mind I'm more concerned about my personal stuff which while not being much I don't want him in there alone.
Got back and he had stolen half her jewelry. Me: "Told you so!". So he shows up that afternoon like nothing is wrong and she starts screaming at him about the theft and tells him to fuck off. Typical drama bullshit. He attacks her, I run in and stop him and he clocks me a good one. Both of us manage to push him out and lock the door and he storms off.
We confer and she agrees she's done with the guy. We both know his name and where he lives. Got his address and make plans to call cops if he tries anything. That's on a Saturday. Sunday she's gone and he's back to get the rest of her jewelry. He's obviously pissed he didn't take it all the first day and surprised she caught on to a couple missing bits of gold. Also he's dumb enough to think I'M fucking her. Apparently he's never heard of a white guy who can be friends with a black coworker and ignore her hookups.
Funny thing, on my way out of the shipyard I walked up on her talking to a white coworker. Obviously she was looking for a new hookup, I gave her a wink and told her something like "Have a nice time, I'm loading out and will be gone when you get back".
