[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1879340, member: 1242"] For all you folks who think that officers on the street should ignore all the "man with a gun" calls, that is a surefire way to wind up in the SO's office. Just remember, the cops out there don't get to pick and choose what calls they will and will not respond to. That's NOT how it works. I gotta tell ya, if GC came home and told me he risked his pension (and all the sick leave, comp time, holiday hours and vacation time he has accrued) just to make a point and not respond to a certain type of call from dispatch, his SO would be the least of his worries ... ;) So, just remember ... the LEO on the street doesn't have a choice. Dispatch gets the call, dispatch passes the info on to the officer, the officer responds. That's just how it works, whether you, me or the officer on the street likes it or not. I've never said you shouldn't engage the police in conversation if you are contacted. All I'm saying is don't make the officer's job (or you visit with him) any harder on either of you than it has to be. Same with private citizens that might approach you with concerns. With the good guys will come the nut cases. It happens all the time ... You guys be careful out there. [/QUOTE]
