WTF did you expect?  A cop to do some diligent work?  Jesus Christ,
the friggin DB can't find a bowling ball in a bathtub!  Don't forget
to support these ass hole's raises.  They do nothing, want to do less
and want to paid more for it.  And, they all think they're
republicans!  Piss poor department, always was, always will be.

He's right, but you didn't listen to him just as you didn't listen to
most on the group.  Do you think he actually cares about getting
subpoenaed?  Overtime.  More the residents of Dallas have to pay out.

Problem is that these fuckers can't be sued.  Real cops can, so
they're very careful about using the discretionary powers given to
them.  If this lawbreaker got into another accident and hurt someone,
Officer Lazy should be made to go right the fuck to jail.

Take it right to the Attorney General's office, but get some
professional help.  You're obviously not yet even a junior curbside
lawyer.
