I just realized that the government and police forces in the Terminator 1/2 are incompetent to what is happening.

So.. watching Terminator 1 and 2 on scifi channel. I am totally realizing that the government and police response to everything is idiotic beyond words and how they haven't realized they aren't dealing with normal people is baffling.

In the first Terminator, after the second or third Sarah Conner is killed, you would think that ANY police force would be quick to realize that they would have to get the rest of them on protective watch automatically. Sure it would do nothing thanks to the Terminator being unstoppable. But still, just one example of how incompetent the police are in this series.

But another huge example is at the police station where she tells her story. Even though even I would not believe the future thing, I would have to believe her when Reese did in fact protect her because back in the club there are countless eye witnesses who can clearly make out who did the actual shooting to begin with. Reese would still be in trouble and stuff for no identification, but a lot less since Sarah would have been able to clearly defend him in court thanks to other eyewitnesses.

Then comes the police shooting scene in which COUNTLESS bullets hit the T-800 to the point where any eyewitness left could honestly tell you that the Terminator was obviously not a human being, even if he did have armor on. Then there are pictures in T2 which clearly show that the dude is bulky in muscles and not in actual armor so this would help with said claims.

Then comes the ending with the cyberdyne building. I am sorry but the truth is that the police should have found the damn Terminator within seconds and the fact that they had to go in there to get Kyles body is just flat out incompetent police work beyond words. If Sarah told anyone what happened and since it would take just a single look to see! Even then there would be DNA evidence to prove that she did indeed do all those things! How in fucks name did the company manage to hide the evidence within an hour of it happening!? I mean... come on!

The comes T2 in which it become evident that the police force has just gone full blown insane. A police officer dies right at the beginning and a guy steals a police car! Within 6 hours that car would be found out that it had been stolen. Then comes the fact that the T-1000 would probably leave Mercury everywhere and thus the police car alone proves that something fucking weird happened.

Then comes the mall fight scene and it honestly proves 100% that the police officers needed to realize that they weren't dealing with normal people. So... a guy who went on a killing spree over 10 years ago who hasn't been seen since has showed back up again and has not aged in the slightest!? All the while he and a police officer THROW each other through cement walls and get right back up afterwards! All with eyewitnesses! cameras! And eye witnesses out the ass along with a police officer no one in the city should know who it is! This is screaming weirdness to the point where the FBI or even the secret service would start looking into things!

Then comes the mental facility which had evidence and the best eyewitness. That being the psychologist seeing the T-1000s body go through a bar and have his head explode and heal RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! All the while there are camera's all over the place and it caught him on screen as well! Having the eye witnesses look at said pictures and video's would have been 100% of weirdness going on. Then there there is the elevator with stabs everywhere which the psychologist guy would have been able to prove that the dude had claw arms! Also the fact that some guy stabbed John's foster parents with what seem to be swords as well. Also there is DNA evidence in the elevator with Sarah's blood which PROVES and I mean PROVES that her insane story was correct in terms of what seem to be machines going after her.

At this point the police should be ashamed with how moronic they are and realize these are not normal human beings in the slightest sense.

Then comes later in the movie with the Dyson family and the wife 100% can attest to all of this insanity after seeing the terminator hand. The truth is that the investigators would HAVE to assume this is the truth due to all past evidence saying that these guys aren't human whatsoever and no matter what, Ms Dyson would have been interviewed constantly because of her husband basically being a terrorist overnight. People WOULD listen to her story and the fact that there are bullet holes all over the place and if the Terminator did so, he probably left a skin flab of his hand somewhere in there as well.

Then comes the Cyberdyne building as well, The T-800 flat out going against the entire Swat Team and even after over half of his body is metallic and still going from all the gunshots, anyone with even a slightly good look could honestly tell you the dude was not human even slightly. Even carrying a Minigun and shooting it the way he did is physically impossible for human beings to do which lends even more credence to the evidence of weirdness.

Then comes the fact that at the end at the... metal mill place that there is DNA evidence everywhere from Sarah being shot that there was a chase in there and if the T-1000 leaves Mercury or something in places that it shows that something insane happened no matter what.

Then there is the fact that the T-800's skin suit probably has left DNA everywhere as well. What kind I have no idea but it should leave a bunch of traces everywhere since all they did was leave him be and only actually cover his wounds once throughout the movie. (In which that same location would prove a lot of valuable DNA evidence that all three of them were running away from something.

In all honesty, the police and the government in this series is BEYOND moronic. Especially by the end of 2. There is countless amounts of DNA and physical evidence, a crapton of eyewitnesses both civilian and medical workers and even other police officers, and if John and Sarah were captured later on they could tell the cops everything that happened and have actual proof thanks to DNA/physical evidence of it happening and even have the psychologist guy even agree along with the other police officers and it should be pretty damn obvious that something inhuman happened.

But again, this is my theory... probably has more holes in it than the T-800 at the tend of T2.
