TBO,

The apples to oranges stories have plenty of relevance here, because they go to show that you have no idea what else could have been happening in the community while these three officers were attending this "assault".

Essentially, every story involve LEO's is an apples to oranges comparison because no two are alike. The facts are always different, and that is why you have to look at them on an invdividual basis.

As far as my bias is concerned, I try to deal with every encounter on an invdividual basis and not stereotype LEO's in general. Every person is their own person.

LEO's do plenty of good every day. Then there are LEO's like the Police Chief of Montgomery County who decided to write a book for profit about the sniper victims in this county and Virginia. That is terrible. He should have donated all the profits to the victims.

Sometimes LEO's and the police department handle things correctly, other times they don't. They deserve to hear it when they handle things incorrectly, just as the florist at my wedding deserves to be sued for supplying terrible roses.

The police department has a job to do, and they have to perform that job correctly and allocate resources efficiently. Like I said, I would want to hear what the other 911 calls were at that time.
