Yes, and I've done it for those that are unable to change the tire. However since you say you can "Handle" your own protection. I'm sure you can handle a jack and a tire iron as well.
You seem to have the Police Dept. confused with AAA.

The truth is NEVER had I seen one cop help car owner fix their flat tyre on the road. Why? You might to know why this is not a routinary schedule for cops to help one distressed individual who is running on a flat tyre.
Yes to PROTECT and SERVE. But not to these point of fixing flat tyre. I donot see the point of protecting the owner here. Protection from what, he's flat tyre? Might one night kill him on the road? Serve him by fixing his tyre? Don't think so a cop duty is fixing tyre on the road is one on their manuals.
You are asking too much about cops. You hate them these much? This is not a PART of their duty as a rookie in the police force and joining the service. Their main duty is catch bad guys and keep the peace. Is this so hard to understand?

No I haven't seen that but one night when I locked my keys in my car a couple cops came and made sure I was alright and waited with me until my friend came with a spare key. Besides I kind of doubt that part of the training at the police academy is how to change a tire. I can call triple a for that I would rather have the police investigating, solving, and preventing crime. You say you can handle your own protection, well I can't and I'm happy to have them focusing on that!

I have an aunt who had gotten off work after midnight and her car broke down on the highway. It was very cold and my aunt had no way to contact anyone for help. A police officer saw her and stopped to check on her. After she explained the situation, he gave her a ride to the police station, since he was going there after finishing his shift. She was able to call her boyfriend to come and get her. While she was waiting, other officers asked her if she wanted coffee or something to eat. All were polite and professional as can be. Just because you and others haven't see it, doesn't mean it does not happen.

I helped a guy last night. His car died in the street and I stood by with him until someone could come and give him a jump. It happens all the time. I even had an old lady call me about a bat in her house once. I'm not an exterminator but you know what? I chased the freaking bat out of her house because she was scared to death and I knew she wouldn't sleep that night if that bat stayed in her house.
What happened? You get a ticket or something.

I haven't seen this done since the 1970's. It is rare anymore for someone /anyone to stop and help , you never know what kind of person or situation you may be dealing with. and the liability if any damage happens.
Ths U.S supreme court has ruled in the early 80's that the police no longer have to protect and serve but to observe and arrest.

Seriously, I have. The other day... he actually stopped on the other side of the freeway on the left shoulder and climbed over the shoulder to help a woman who's car had broken down on the other side.
Sure, not a flat tire, but stopped to make sure everything's ok.
And you've never seen a cop help anyone because you're too closed-minded as to see the good they do. Sure, some cops suck. But some cops keep ****ty people off the streets.

I have changed many tires for stranded motorists. I carry my own floor jack and 4-way lug wrench to make it easier for me to do it as well. I have also unlocked countles vehicles, saving the owners money that they would have spent calling a locksmith.
Now to show you I'm a good guy, let me help you. Moto has 2 t's in it (motto). i should be capitalized (I). wut is spelled What and dont has an apostophe. It should look like this - don't. Hope I helped you out - A** hole!

Yes, as a matter of fact, one changed my tire once. The good ones will help out with little things like that because they did become cops to protect and serve. I bet if you really needed them you would be very happy to have them protect you. So, cut the macho BS.

I've seen several cops go out of their way to help citizens (including changing tires). It's not their job to change tires so the ones that do it should be applauded.
Protect and Serve means that they Protect the public and serve means that they are there to help you with any criminal complaints you have. Not that they have to change tires or keep us from getting splinters in our poor little fingers.
