    But that cop was only useless because he was prevented from taking action by other cops. It’s not his fault

      So whats the excuse of the other 30 cops there that day? Why do we spend half our municipal budgets on militarized police when they are just gonna sit aroind and do nothing during am emergency?

      If it was a different cop’s wife what do you think he would have done? He would have prevented that cop from going to save her. They only care when it happens to them. He should not have let his buddies drag him away and maybe his wife and some of those kids would still be here

        No, that is the point. I am not saying this particular cop is weak or not doing his job, I am saying the problem is systematic, we as people should not allow this situation to happen at first place.
