kind of a libertarian angle to take, but if the audience is the average white american who loves c*ps, it may be worth mentioning that response times are way too high for them to effectively "stop crime" as many suggest - double digits (minutes) in the best case and hours in the worst case - and somehow dropping over time despite increased spending. even if you don't think they're bad (which I'd say they are), they're not nearly as helpful/useful as many think.
