My point is, you don't know the whole story and make assumptions based off of your feelings towards police as a whole. This may not be you, but MANY people just WANT cops to be doing a shitty job so they can bitch about it. I mean, do you know if this biker might have been a murder suspect? Then they catch him and it was mistaken identity... but he ran, so he's gotta go to jail. You don't know, you just assume. As far as speeders on the highway, I don't think they are as dangerous as the people going slow... but you know what? If you are going more than 65mph on the highway, you are breaking the law. Period. So what do you want cops to do, only focus on violent crimes? Then when your bike comes up missing one day, "nope, we are focusing on murders and rapes today, sorry." 911 response times more than an hour? I would like to see sources of this. I live on OSU campus and can tell you, that has not been my experience. I was at a party a number of years back on 14th and Summit (I think) and some dude started freaking out with a bigass knife. Cops were there in less than 10 minutes. Further, I came home one night a couple years ago and my apartment was broken into. I didn't call 911, just the regular non-emergancy number... Within 20 minutes there was an officer there. Or how about the time I had these crazy idiots on my front porch at 3am because they thought I was their drug dealer (wrong street morons)... My neighbor called 911 while I was outside trying to explain to them what street they were on. Under 5 minutes (according to my neighbor) there were two cruisers there. The bottom line is, cops have an enormously difficult job and get shit on every time they try to do it. They have no choice, but to enforce the law. You don't like radar guns on 270? Call your representative and tell him/her you want to change speed limits. Sure there are bad cops, but they are the vast minority... Just like all professions. Cops are people, not super heros and cannot be in all places at all times... Their job is never-ending and nearly impossible... Yet people shit on them because of the 1% of cops who are corrupt... or because they broke the law and got busted (speeding for example). $0.02
