The pay is bad, no respect, and many citizens look the other way when cops need help.
In fact, just a week ago I witnessed a car veer off the road and side swipe a police car that had another car pulled over. The officer was hit by his own squad car and thrown into some brush. I just looked the other way and went on. I dont care about him. He must have been ok anyways as there wasnt even anything in the paper all week about it.
And people are right, I may need the cops someday and I will call them. They better show up and do their job or I will sue. It is a no lose situation.

A cop is just a fellow human in a different uniform than yours. Would you have helped if it was just an average person who was hit? What if you witnessed a cop getting shot by the person who they just pulled over? Would you just go on past not caring about them? What if they do come to help you but the end result isn't what you want. Are you going to sue them still? People with that kind of mentality are the reason there are court cases where someone tries to get billions of dollars because they get burned spilling hot coffee on themselves, or because they don't get their pants back when they get their jacket back from the cleaners.

well thats a hard question......i think alot of bad, rude cops give the good , caring ones a bad name. but at the same time they know how dangerous the job is so why would i put my life in danger to help someone out that likes and knows about the danger in the line of duty. so i think it would depend on the situation . i mean if there gonna bust down a door for drugs i wouldnt be like "oh officer its right there" you know ( so that was just an example) so now my thing is i dont volunteer any information.

Well, maybe some day someone will use their car to knock YOU into the bushes, and nobody will help you, either!
You are a jerk and a creep for turning your back on the cop whom you saw get hurt.
Frankly, I don't like cops (usually), but if I see a human being get hurt in the manner you described, I would try to help, I don't care WHAT uniform they're wearing.
It's people like you that make it so much harder for decent citizens to get by. And, if there is such a thing as sin, you really committed a BIG one by turning your back. You are a coward, and a blowhard. And, also, remember Karma: What goes around, comes around. So, don't get too upset the next time you need help and nobody steps forward.

That's just disgusting! He is another HUMAN BEING!!!!
I can never do anything like that...even when I am in a hurry --my conscience bothers me too much. Just like when I am in the store and change my mind about something....I go all the way back to put the item away most of the time. If I don't I will just keep thinking about it.
I think you are still thinking about what you did too.

How would you like it if some random car hit you and nobody helped you? Our police officers are people too, you stupid little ingrate. So how would you like it if nobody cared about you and said something like "Oh, I'll sue him if he doesn't do his job, but hell if I care if he gets life threatening injuries."
I would go as far as I could to help an officer that I came across in a situation that they couldn't handle themselves or if they got hurt. Like YOU said; the pay is bad, no respect, and many citizens look the other way. I'm not going to be some piss for brains little moron like yourself that wants help when they need it but won't help somebody else in need, especially somebody who freely puts their life on the line to help idiots like yourself...

Damn you are a stand up person! Maybe Not!
Think of it this way if you are on the side road changing a tire and then same thing happened to you and people that saw what happened just kept going?

Cops are human beings. I'd help anyone in that situation.
You, on the other hand, are not a human being. Someday when you need help, I hope others will pass you by.

Thank you so much for being a responsible citizen.
And good luck on the suing of the police; the courts have long held that the police have no requirement to provide service to specific people since their duty is to protect the public at large.
