A repsonding officer is a responding officer is a responding officer, the title is immaterial. And the discussion is on the total cost of the responding officer writing up an arrest of a shoplifter. Stop the red herring bullshit and deal with the fact that you're wrong. You tried to say the responding officer had a total cost of $500 an hour and that's laughable in it's stupidity, now you're trying to say you were only talking about the guy in charge who wasn't the responding officer and who's costs don't figure into the discussion.
That's all I've been discussing ~ the sheriff.
