You’re in OC?
Did you ever notice what happens when paramedics, cops, fire or whatever responds? Even a fender bender you’ll get 10 people showing up in multiple brand new vehicles, and most of which will stand around gawking until their told to leave because it looks so damn bad. C’mon Kathy...
I have seen that on the southern CA police forces (Fullerton for example) shown on On Patrol Live.
They are so freaked out about gangs that they won’t go near many suspects without ten cops as backup.
I can’t speak for all of Orange County, but that is not the case in my little Irvine/Newport area. It looks like you live in Arizona so I’m sure you know more about it than people who live here though, right?
Some 25 years ago, while I was visiting New York City, I saw about a half dozen long fire trucks parked near an apartment building. Most of them couldn't get near the building that was the focus of their attention. (I didn't see a fire; perhaps a smoke detector had gone off.)
Firemen were standing about. I asked one why there were so many trucks parked along the block, even though most of them couldn't get near the affected building.
He said to me, "If if was your home, you'd want all these trucks."
Which didn't really answer my question.
