Cops have better things to do than show up for a non-injury acccident.

They need to eat donuts and right frivolous tickets

I didn't realize the NY State Police set up a frandchise in CA.

sh*t, NY cops? i thought they were busy shooting unarmed black people and taking mafia payoffs.

for those who have seen "Training Day" there is a week long story this week in the LA Times about wild/bad cops in the LAPD. there was a bust of a ring of about 20 cops, only 2 went down, who did home invasion robberies of drug dealers and other bad boys, just like in the friggin movie. they wore their uniforms and showed up in regular squad cars to make it look legit! took hundres of thousands of dollars.
not that i care about drug dealers or other bad people but talk about life imitating art!

and Im NOT anti-cop, fyi my own wife is trying very hard to get into one of the many depts out here. she wants to arrest 'em and i want to put 'em away. I just carefully scrutinize people who have the power to abuse and get away with it.

This has been floating around the internet for some time, maybe you should read it:

Well, Mr. Citizen, I guess you've figured me out. I seem to fit neatly in the category where you placed me. I am stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified, grouped, and always typical. Unfortunately, the reverse is not true.. I can never you out. From birth you teach your children that I'm the boogeyman and then you're shocked when they identify with my traditional enemy, THE CRIMINAL. You accuse me of coddling juveniles until I catch your kid doing wrong. You take an hour for lunch and several coffee breaks each day, but point me out as a loafer if you catch me having just one cup. You pride yourself on your polished manners, but think nothing of disrupting my meals with your troubles. You raise hell with the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you. You know all the traffic laws, but you've never gotten a single ticket you deserved. You shout "FOUL!" if you see me driving too fast to an emergency call, but raise hell if I take more than ten seconds to respond to your call. You call it part of my job if someone strikes me, but it's police brutality if I strike back. You would not think of telling your dentist how to pull a badly-decayed tooth, or your doctor how to take out your appendix, but are always willing to give me a few pointers on the law. You talk to me in a manner that would assure a bloody nose from anyone else, but expect me to take it without batting an eye. You cry "Something has got to be done about the crime!" but you can't be bothered with getting involved. You have no use for me at all, but of course it's O.K. if I change a flat for your wife, or deliver your child in the back seat of my car on the way to the hospital, or save your son's life with mouth-to-mouth recuscitation, or work many hours looking for your lost daughter. So, Mr. Citizen, you stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my job, calling me every name in the book, but never stopping to think that your property, your family, or maybe even your life depends on me or one of my buddies. Yes, Mr. Citizen, it's me, the lousy cop!

Sorry to burst the flow you 2 have, but I didn't realize police still gave out the majority of parking tickets. That's for the City's parking "police" where I'm from. Not at all real police officers. And yes mine do have/like quotas. One guy got fired for ticketing everything (quota; and not cause there were bad parkers). At least people complained and he got the boot.
