Weird how people here do not want to admit there are good and decent police officers. Stereotyping is not something you would expect to see on a progression site.

Or so I used to think.

The relevant topic would be is a cop the only person that could have responded to this incident (if it was indeed called in and dispatched)?

and was driving home and saw a frantic woman on the side of the road. He stopped and found a dying baby, he immediately tried to give mouth to mouth, but that was not working, so he ran to his cruiser with the baby, turned on his siren and lights and made a beeline for the Trauma Center that was about five miles away. He made it in time, the Doctors and Nurses saved the baby and he recovered. The cop is White, the woman and her child are Black. So there are cops out there that take their pledge to all of society seriously.

it'll go away. It's always interesting what they choose to report, and not report. Doesn't have much to do with relevance. Perception is everything. My what a nice policeman.

My issue with them is they don't take on their Union for protecting the jobs of the dangerous assholes.
