Cops have better things to do than show up for a non-injury acccident.
They need to eat donuts and right frivolous tickets
Sure, that's what I spend my time doing. I also teach CEG'ers the difference between "right" and "write". Classes begin in an hour, if you would like to sign up.
Whoops, spell check was off for that one. Better go back to college and get my Masters in english before I bash anymore cops on this site.
It's a generalization get over yourself

Unfair, untrue, and biased generalizations like that help no one. This, much in the same way that racism helps no one.
Oh, and I make my share of spelling mistakes. Yours was rather a grammatical error.

How is my statement untrue or unfair? Biased, why?
It's a broad generalization that many cops write frivolous tickets and eat donuts rather than responding to non-injury accidents!
You telling me that cops don't write frivolous tickets?

Don't take it personally, Sandman.
Everyone knows that Moderators are nothing more than pimply-faced teenagers that get a disordinate amount of pleasure from their power-mongering because they've led a lifetime of repressed emotions from copious amounts of unrequited love, bullying, and the occassional Oedipus complex.

I think your generalization that an officer would rather write a ticket or eat a donut than respond to an accident, any type of accident, is completely without merit. I believe that personal bias, whether that be an encounter with a bad cop or whatever, has clouded your ability to reason and see how utterly stupid a statement like that is.
Next you will be telling me that most cops were picked on in high school and now use their authority to bully the poor, innocent populace out of their rights....

Actually its the opposite. I recently found out that my grade school bully (he actually bullied the other bullies) is now an officer with MPD. Go figure

Not to take sides but it was very frustrating that the police would NOT show up to the non injury! I had to go to the station thus allowing my non english speaking missle to not show!
My neck is almost healed for those who asked and although its just metal, it's still my first car and I have had it for 7 years. I don't need any extra problems with cars now that I am looking for a jobby job!

You got me all figured out
Well at least one of your statements above is correct, I'll let you figure out which one that is
