They have to take some responsibility. I mean, come on, telling the cop to go find the insurance himself? How is this going to have a good ending?

Part of what annoys me is both articles quoted in here skip over that specific quote from Moates, which helps build the early agitation over the cop.

I think it probably comes down to people expecting more from police officers than from someone whose relative is literally minutes away from dying.
