First assistance in the area may be long in arriving. And I guess you are not or ever have been a cop. But as a former cop, I suggest you stop with your advice, because until you have experienced the “tranquility of the day, interrupted by shear terror of the moment” you have no clue what this business is about, unless you are a combat vet.

Yes, police officers have one of the most dangerous and unappreciated jobs in the world. And no, they are not compensated enough for it.

However, there are a few "bad apples" cops that push the envelope and create a ugly situation.

All my information is based on the article and the officer didn't handle the situation right at all. It sounded like he got pissed and lost his cool.

That got him killed.

Now, you say you were a police officer... tell me... how would you have handled the situation from the start?

First assistance in the area may be long in arriving.

What difference does this make? Kinney pulled out AFTER the police officer refused to called for assistance.
