BTW, when he refers to cops not doing anything to save a person’s life, I don’t think he’s talking about crime victims or other innocent people in this rant. He is probably talking about cops not doing anything to save the life of a criminal they’ve just shot or beat up. Not saying that that’s okay, just trying to get a better understanding of what he’s trying to convey. Not sure how this would end up in more overtime, as they would have to go to court even if the person didn’t die (might have to spend more time in court if the suspect didn’t die and they have to proceed with a criminal case against the suspect).[/quote]
Oh that’s just horseshit… Anyone that’s ever lived in LA like I have know that cops have the persona of being bullies. Serve and protect my ass. And his rant about apathy of a cop when someone dies. Totally accurate. I recall when a friend was in high school and was involved in an accident…Cop was on seen and didn’t do shit… And before you go off and say you be glad cops exist, because you never know when you might need them…. That’s a bunch of crap too.
When someone broke into (walked into our offices) and stole a bunch of stuff (making it beyond petty theft) it too 3+ hours for a cop to show up to take a 15 minute report, of which we handed over a security tape showing the perp, the phone numbers he called from one of the stolen cell phones i traced, a rough pin-point of where he lived, his street name. This case was almost a slam dunk case… What happened? Absolutely nothing…Probably too busy writing a bunch of stupid parking/speeding tickets…and charging overtime…
It doesn’t justify this guy’s homicidal rampage, but still, serve and protect.. Um… sure….
