I am age 55, and I see where you are trying to go with this that the cop acted simply out of his own personal convenice. Why is he not entitled to do so? I guess your point is that the cop, especially being a cop, should have just sat there until the lady decided she was ready to move her car. Even though apparently she had not moved up far enough as McDonald's had requested her to do so as to clear the lane for people behind her to be able to get their orders and thus to keep the drive up line moving as it is intended to be keep moving.

My point is that cops shouldn't abuse their position. Doing something that they would not normally due, because they themselves benefit, is an abuse.

I suppose that you would like a doctor to provide you with the same level of care as they would to their own family? Would you consider it wrong if you got your broken arm triaged behind the doctor's buddy's blister?

I expect professional behavior and I've defined my idea of that rather well, if that makes me anti-cop in your view then oh well.

Wow, tell me more about the raving loon.

Homeless 40-50 year old man appearing to be on crack on top of an underlying mental disorder. He was beating on the windows of cars with 4-12 year old girls and their mothers (coming to a dance competition) and charging them when they were out of their cars. He was screaming that they were racists bitches and telling them that he was going to cut their throats and cut out their guts.

Two policemen were half a block away at the entrance to the competition and were looking down the street at the scene the whole time, which according to the people I knew at the entrance was quite clearly understandable to all. I had already put myself between the man and the girls and continued to block him from getting to other families. I called 911 on my phone while doing so. About five minutes after multiple women had run down to the police, one of the police officers finally walked down to where I was. The man saw the officer and started to walk away, he was about 50 feet away when the policeman finally walked up. The police reaction was an annoyed, "Nothing I can do." and he walked back to the entrance. I remained there to protect other families that were parking in that area.

Had that been the officer's little girls, I'm quite certain the guy would have been cuffed and Baker Acted. Which you would say is a good thing no doubt.
