akuperma -“Unless the police in your area are really underworked, they might not be thrilled at being called out to pursue a sixth grade girl (most crimes are committed by boys, not girls) who is taking a short cut to school. Police tend to think they should be out chasing murderers and muggers and rapists and terrorists”
Really is that what they think? Maybe they think this in police academy, but e/o knows once they hit the street -they spend most of the day writing tickets and eating (Donuts, of course).
You’ve been watching too much of the show “Cops”. It probably takes them weeks of ride alongs to actually film one half-hour segment of “Cops”. Most of their career is Not playing “Cops and robbers”.
