It could have been a car accident and the first one on scene said he could handle it. These types of things happen many times every day in every town!

A lot of times an officer will hear a fellow officer dispatched to a call and start to head that way in case the first officer needs help.

This again illustrates that most people don't understand how or what a police officer does on a daily basis so they choose to criticize with no factual basis for their rant.
You could be right, but it just didn't seem like it, since he put his lights on just long enough to go by the car and didn't even start to speed off. But I guess neither of us will ever know.
