Why did the police not show up at Brett's apartment during the shootout?
In early scenes of Pulp Fiction, Vince and Jules are in Brett's apartment to confront him. As Jules gets aggressive, he shouts at everyone in the apartment loudly and clearly and then shoots Roger, the guy on the sofa. The gunfire was also loud.
Jules then proceeds to confront Brett, with the confession and the famous Bible verse. So a considerable time has passed since the shouting and the shooting. Therefore, if police were alarmed about the gunfire, they would be around or ideally would have arrived but no one in the neighborhood is bothered?
Did no one bother to call the police about the situation? or even if they did not, why did the police not notice this and arrive at the scene by themselves?
Best Answer
I don't have anything to back this up, but it probably can be written off as the apartment being in some stereotypical bad neighbourhood, where no one calls the police even if there's a shooting.
Or maybe it's a use of the TV trope Police are useless, since the story would take a boring turn if the cops turned up within 10 minutes and arrested everyone.

Answer 2
Who's to say the cops didn't arrive moments after they left? Given that the average response time is 18 minutes to mass shootings, I don't think there is an issue in the movie's reality.
