#6 Because it's always better to use emergency services at night, when the senior personel aren't there.

#8 Dane-Geld, by Rudyard Kipling
IT IS always a temptation to an armed and agile nation
To call upon a neighbour and to say: –
"We invaded you last night – we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away."

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you've only to pay 'em the Dane-geld
And then you'll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation for a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say: –
"Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away."

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we've proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: --

"We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that plays it is lost!"

They have invited the barbarians within their walls and now want some sucker to magically make them go away...

#10 I seem often to pay Danegeld to buy off thugs who are threatening people that I am not acquainted with in places where I don’t even live. I am paying off shakedowns at the city, state and national level. Internationally, I have been paying off Ukraine for a decade and resumed paying off Iran recently. It sort of sucks to be a citizen of the most powerful country on Earth.

#12 ...but more to the point, it clearly demonstrates who's really in charge. Ok, got that off my chest - commence with the torching.

#13 There is a plus side to this maybe..
Police can now assume it is safer to shoot after say 10pm. Because only thugs, muggers, dealers, addicts and gang bangers are supposed to be on the streets after 9pm?😎
