I have one question for the writer of 100mph. How fast would he/she want a police officer to go if the officer was responding to his/her home if their family was in eminent danger? I do not think you would be so quick to judge if you needed the help. Put yourself in harms way on a daily basis, them you have earned the right to speak. I know I know, there is freedom of speech. I get it! But it is easy to armchair quaterback something when you are not the one making the split second decisions. When you are not the one on the other end of the radio listening to another officer asking for help. It is true that if the officer never makes it to the call he/she is doing no one any good, but you have to be put in their shoes just once to get it.
