Budgets are shrinking and there are fewer cops on the street.  Anyone in patrol certainly recognizes the effects of decreased manpower:  no preventative patrols, no time to hit hot spots, going from call to call often without backup and missed meals.  Even so, some citizens expect officers to babysit their own special complaint, when in the grand scheme of things, their issue is relatively minor.

Take this guy, for example.  He’s upset that there are not any officers enforcing speed limits along one stretch of road.  Additionally, he is complaining about the arial speed enforcement signs.  The video is only about a minute long, and even though we all hear complaining all day long, it is worth watching to the end…
