he was on his way home, i give him that the cop should have given his mom a fix it ticket instead of a fine And, contrary to popular belief, cops do not have quotas they have to fill each night. I think this was going over the edge for the cop, and yes, it is bad for cops to bring there personal lives into their work, but that also applys to all people. You wouldnt want a firefighter to not show up to your house because his girlfriend broke up with him and he "doesnt feel like it", would you?
