Cops can be useful.

No other call will get results like one for an 'officer down'. Every officer from every agency who hears the call drops what they are doing and heads there immediately. I was lucky enough to have never heard a call for an officer being shot. Have seen when officers call for backup when they're in a threatening situation, and was with an officer one night when I had to get on the radio and call for backup. Seemed help arrived within 30 seconds. Not a good feeling being outnumbered by about 20 against two, when you are one of the two! LOL
