Dumb luck,
Yes I do have friends that are LE.
For some reason I seem to get myself into situations that are unusual. I have seen a shooting, been next to my brother when an officer threatened his life, got a life saving award for heroism, watched an officer get his but tossed around (the perpetrator ran when we stopped), had officers run past us to get away from a mob, been mugged then yelled at by the cops for having actually called it in, had the cops beating at my door about to break it in because they had the wrong address, been arrested wrongly, been tossed in the back of a cop car more than once for no reason, and believe it or not that is just a start.

That said, Do you let the officers get helped ahead of others. If I come in with a gash and they come in a half hour later, who are you going to stitch up first. My guess is that the LE get helped first. If that is the case, that is what I mean by waiting, is simply not bowing down to them and putting them at the top of the list. In other words, tell them to sit and wait with the rest of us. Would you rip out your own kidney to help me? If not, then why not. You have no idea what my life is worth or how much I have done for humanity any more than you know if that officer is a child molestor or wife killer (Past Sheriff and ranking Tacoma officer for the first and Tacoma Chief for the second).
