Nah cops should not get to park like massive twats wherever they feel like. Contrary to popular belief cops aren't above the law and there are no parking exemptions for cops getting food.

And yet somehow, paramedics and fire department aren't ever illegally parked while their lights are off, and yet still meet all the same requirements of being as close to their vehicle while on-duty in case shit goes down, and last time I checked, are also human.

I've worked many jobs that don't let you leave to get coffee or food. Maybe these cops should have to pack their lunches and carry them in their vehicles for the day. Y'know, since it's critical that they are always close to their vehicles. It's so critical that they need to break the law to get food. They may as well bring their own food to stop their illegal behaviour and ensure they get to those "shots fired" calls quicker!

And if that was part of standard operation, the cops could perhaps have done their job and explained that to the citizen whom they serve, without subsequently flipping them off.

Police officers also have to follow the law. Only in specific circumstances to they get to break certain very specific laws, like drive through a red light.

They're police officers, they are supposed to give the right example, ALWAYS. They're supposed to at least try to be better than the rest of us. Parking where it's dangerous can't be just waved away with a pretext like "I need quick access tpy car"

Damn life must be hard with such a low cognitive potential. My condolences.
