I live in Largo, have several of you as friends. I also have the utmost respect for LEO-s. Lately it seems many of you are just driving around like zombies, totally forgetting some of the basics.

Relocating a high as f—k crackhead from 686 and 19 over to 150th and 62nd Street so he can run around trying to carjack people. Marchamn Act, Baker Act? Something, anything instead of just relocating the problem?

Crash with injuries on Belcher between 688 and 686. Girl driving one of the cars reeks of weed. LPD shows up and the girls is just standing by on the sidewalk. Guessing no search, no arrest etc. Easier to just ignore the smell after medics tell you about it I guess.

Very visible crash with lane blockage and citizens directing traffic on 686. Not one, but 2 LPD cruisers slowly work their way through the crash and mosey on to other low priority calls. Seriously? If Joe Citizen gets run over while you guys are on video driving by, guess what? No pay raises or new toys cause the family will own half the city in civil court.

Car loses control on Highland just about an hour ago. Front axle snaps, cars blocking southbound lane. Traffic has to move to the other lane. Lady stands there as a cruiser drives by. No stopping, no turning on the overheads, helping traffic by. Nothing! What the everloving f—-k!

The job ain’t that hard. Tell dispatch you’re still enroute to your BS call but you’ll be out with whatever for a minute. Call for another unit, let them take your BS call, check on the people for 2 minutes. Do your job, just the basics.......
