I think the officer who stabbed himself looking for glory is an idiot but that doesn’t mean the police’s search for his alleged attacker isn’t justified.
and on your second story, what do you mean? “Every cop” blew by who, the traffic accident scene? How do you know what the police were doing and how many is “every cop”?

This was a two lane road and was the only direct way to get to the "stabbed in the leg with a pen knife hero" and yes according to my wife, a dozen or more police cars blew by the traffic accident. As far is how many is every cop goes I'm not sure, but I recall seeing it on the news and there was a good quarter mile of cars lined up at the scene as seen from the helicopters.

So it actually was the same incident??? and you and your wife can’t understand why officers would respond directly to a report of a person who allegedly stabbed an officer and escaped? How many officers do you think even saw the traffic accident while running emergency traffic to a higher priority call?

So the sworn to protect the public douche bags ignore the public to attend to one of their own is justified? Just how many officers does it take to search for an allegedly stabbed by a pen knife in the leg perpetrator versus a citizen that needed help from a car accident?
Jewels like you amaze me.

Ok again I’ll slow it down a little for ya

You don’t know that the responding officers saw or were told about any traffic accident. Officers have to take and are given priority calls by dispatchers first. The 911 dispatcher might not even have been called about the accident or even if they were they probably held it until the higher priority call was attended to. This happens every day in every jurisdiction. Sometimes thefts, accidents, drunks etc are held for other serious calls

Secondly, when this officer called this “attack” in, I’m pretty sure he never said “pin knife into the leg” or some such BS. He likely said someone he was fighting just stabbed him and ran off. So to other officers this was a dangerous violent felon at large who would like hurt or kill other people so finding him was top priority. You are being obstinate if you can’t see that

I don’t condone the officer who faked the incident actions, and I would prosecute him for putting so many people in needles danger. But you can’t criticize the response of the other officers which was appropriate and normal

Just out of curiosity, how many police cars roll when your average Joe gets stabbed or shot? 3 maybe 4?

Are you kidding? Depends on the number of officers working and type of incident. Is it near high density neighborhood? Or out on a county road in middle of nowhere.l? Was it robbery, a murder? Multiple suspects? Suicide? Suspects there on scene or at large? We had 10-15 shootings in Knox county the past week, so some incidents had 3-4 police cars and investigators. And some had more. And stabbings? there were five today already in Knoxville, including one dead so how many officers do you think are appropriate?

Apparently all of them when it's a cop. When it's someone in Walter P. Taylor housing I'm guessing when you get done eating or they turn off the hot donut sign at Crispy Cream.

Why would you think exactly? About 15 year ago, I used to do walking patrols of Walter P along with regular calls for service there. I have responded to probably 25-40 shootings and stabbings there, and I responded to each of them pretty much the same as I would to one anywhere else. It seems like you carry around a lot of incorrect assumptions about police and police work in general. You should do a ride a long with KPD or KCSO sometime

I know you deal with garbage on a daily basis. The problem comes when you deal with actual taxpayers that are decent people and you treat them like crap. I think you're typical of most police and I have no use for you.

Please give me an instance of any decent person I’ve treated like crap? You think I’m typical how? You project and generalize a LOT. I’m extremely fair to people of all backgrounds and actually a decent person who makes a difference

Just as there are people who by default always trust law enforcement, there are people that never do.

An officer stabbing is higher priority than a vehicular accident? I find that to be amazing considering the way these cops patrol the streets. You would normally think traffic safety was #1...

Just curious, but how many cops does it take to catch one or two bad guys? Sounds like the entire police force was chasing down the alleged stabbing suspect in this case and we recently had 5 South Florida jurisdictions participating in the UPS driver incident.

Outside of the North Hollywood bank robbery, not more than 3-4 cars.

Do you hide behind signs with a radar gun? Ever ticket anyone for tinted windows, busted tag light or seatbelt violation?

Do you work with other Electrical Engineers? I mean, is there a such thing as an electrical engineer emergency? Apply some logic. Light doesnt work vs chernobyl type of meltdown.

I sincerely doubt it me or you were stabbed in the leg, 20 police cars would be responding.

I'm more than willing to play along in your hypothetical game, but I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do.
