For the record Onan’s sin was using the withdrawal method rather than impregnating his late brother’s wife as requested by his father Judah. God, the universe’s biggest voyeur, was apparently upset by that part.
The Old Testament has some messed up family dramas.

40 minutes seemed like a really long response time. Looks like it really is. Here’s one sample from a different area in CA:

Average is about 3 minutes ‘til someone is “on scene.”
It’s a pretty limited set of examples, but, still, 40 minutes? WTF?
ACAB.

Lol, the “average is about 3 minutes” is probably pretty accurate in your interpretation.

A hair salon couldn’t find a bucket of cold water to throw over him? I suspect that might have put a stop to it.

The nail salons should hire a series of street performers to work in front of their places of business until they find out what this dude’s turn-off is. I recommend starting with a sad clown.

Call everyone you know in the neighborhood to come by, take pictures and laugh at him.

Apparently there’s a nationwide police shortage, and departments are stretched thin.
(At least, that’s the story I heard. I hope this isn’t just a coordinated police slowdown in reaction to the defund movement.)
Police have important work to do. Like harassing Black teenagers. And shooting Black teenagers. And demanding free stuff from area businesses. And writing “PIG” on their coffee cups so they can get random Starbucks employees fired. And shooting Black teenagers.
Stopping a fellow cop from masturbating in front of businesses owned by women is way, way, way down on the list of priorities.

Well, there are enough that 6 (in 3 SUVs) showed up to “talk” to a neighbor today and 4 of them didn’t even get out of their huge SUVs, and local pay isn’t all that, so I don’t know. I don’t live where this happened, but I don’t tend to give cops the benefit of the doubt.
My initial thought was that they don’t think this is a “real” crime because, “he’s not hurting anyone.” But he is. It’s a power move intended to intimidate, and could very well escalate.

California only spends $20 Billion annually on police.

They just don’t give a shit about a man masturbating at women. They don’t see it as a crime worth showing up for.
