DING FOR THE WINNER!
An officer has to be able to get in their car and HAUL ASS in a split second with all their equipment operating and at their disposal. Many officers carry 2 keys and one never leaves the ignition during their shift.
Stopping and starting the car sounds minor but I challenge anyone to get some of the worst news you have ever had like your friend (CLOSE FRIEND, like a brother of another mother) has been been shot and his dying words are being broadcast over the radio you are holding in your hand. You have to stop what you're doing, get to your car, get to the location SAFELY, try to make sense of what happened QUICKLY and arrest the shit head responsible.
This may sound extreme but I LIVED IT and the only good news is my homie texts me nearly daily to tell me he loves his little brother, ****ING PRICELESS!
To post the tax dollar stuff is just moronic.
