if I see a traffic stop take ten minutes there will be 4-6 cops cars there coming one at a time. that shows me there are to many cops with nothing to do. so a lot of them could be removed and not change anything for the people in towns or cities. like teachers sanitation road crews etc all these public service jobs get bloated with employees and budgets
you are misunderstanding that situation. if a traffic stop has more than 1 patrol car its because of a developing situation. either a aggressive citizen , or one that refused to follow orders or used a cell phone to call some buds. those are the things along with drugs ,illegal guns, etc that lead to a code 9. at least most of the time in my experience. granted that is ancient history for me.
