I find this to be all too typical of police these days. My own experience has been just as bad, if not worse.
On the whole (meaning, don't prejudge the next individual), I find law enforcement to be a total--100%--waste of taxpayers' money. In fact, I find them to be the cause of more crime than if they didn't exist and the citizenry were properly armed. I have yet to meet a law enforcement officer who didn't break the law himself.
In my observations, police generally accept "favors" such as free coffee, doughnuts, or food (and much worse) as a matter of course. They utterly fail to obey even the simplest traffic laws. They routinely lie in efforts to intimidate the public into surrendering their rights.
Do you remember the man who was too smart to be a cop? If the average IQ of police is 104, then LEOs in general are too deficient intellectually to bear the power they do (not that anyone should have that much power).
Care to share your own "stupid cop" stories?
Daughter left as victim
When my older daughter was 16+ or so, she was left home alone for a couple of hours. During this time, a would-be criminal tried to break into the house. My daughter pressed the alarm's panic buttons. This tells the monitoring company that there is someone home in need of defense. The alarm company called and confirmed this with my daughter. The police were called. They did nothing for almost an hour. When they finally arrived, they gave some flimsy excuse for being unavailable--not that they were on a more important call, mind you.
The one time we needed them, and we were failed. We won't make that mistake again. When my last child is old enough to be left alone--even for short periods--she will be well trained in the use of arms, and she will have access to them for just such an occasion.
