Its really a "catch 22"... from my understanding, cops are basically trained to "not trust people"... to look at behaviors, motives (as if they can read minds). Some understand... hey we are all human. Other see themselves as "the law" or even somewhat above the law... but anyone else is way below the law and basically stupid. TO give the cops some credit... depending on the area they work... in a normal 12 hr shift, they will encounter about 9 STUPID calls. Take that 4 days a week and sometimes for the next 20 years. I would imagine that some cops assumed that the "good public" will CCW. and bad azz people will try to OC. Sometimes, a cop mindset will be set from the way the call came in from dispatch. For example, I received a call today for "rubish"???? I was like WTF???? What am I now, a trash collector? We got there, the guy was only using his fire pit. But once again, some "good neighbor" either didn't like the guy or seen a bit of fire and now... the yard is on fire. I think a lot of these calls would stop if the cities charged people for emergency service to respond. Maybe people will give a better look into things.
Honestly what do you think about that? What if the city/police charge the caller a fee to respond for people OCing? Or some other BS call? I think the 911 would be used less and allow the "real" emergency calls to come through such as; medical, fire, people in fights, being shot, dying...basically real emergencies. Like it or not, those cops already have pre answers to your questions. basically they go to school to answer them, meeting etc. Basically think if it this way... if you are married... you know basically your flaws of your spouse... if you had to stand up in church tomorrow and the question was laid out to you... "How do you view your wife?" Would you be honest or make up an answer ? Policity correct, huh? Same differnce in my thoughts... but good info that you provided.
