He wasn't in a GREAT hurry to go anywhere. We were behind him for probably another ten minutes before we turned off. Guess that guy just wasn't going fast enough for him. I never saw that in my life before that.

Maybe you guessed wrong!
What is much more likely is that he received a radio call to respond to something and that call was subsequently cancelled. Perhaps two officers were sent to the same call because it sounded serious and the first officer to arrive radioed the second one that he would not be needed. 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.
