Protect and Serve sub reddit cops stay firmly on their side of the blue line.

Excuse formatting and rambling, I don't know how to make it right. I'm new.There was a post regarding 911 response to drunk drivers, requested from an LE point of view in Protect and Serve. Having had an inside view of how the blue line works (I am NOT a cop but I was behind the blue line), I decided to post on Protect and Serve regarding the lack of action by the California HIghway Patrol on an incident I was involved in, just to let people know that for the most part they are wasting their time trying to get law enforcement to respond to a drunk driver call. It wasn't to diss LE. Additionally, many LE have told me they just don't like to deal with drunks so they will find something "more important" to deal with if they get an information call about an intoxicated motorist. Drunks are annoying, might vomit in your car and cause a lot of paper work. The CHP would rather be out trying to catch you doing 10 over on the freeway with their LIDAR. Speaking of that, for the most part there are no ticket quotas. But there are contests between officers to see who can write the most of one kind of cite (for beers, which they drink at the bar after work before driving home) or pressure from their Sergent to write more citations instead of doing proactive police work.This incident caused the death of a motorist, after over an hour of following and 911 calls by more than one person. The CHP did not respond until after the fatal collision, verbally told me where he responded from (an hour away) and then falsified that information in his official report to show he was 30 minutes closer. With lights and siren the hour trip would have taken about 30 minutes. The report was falsified to show response from a location about 30 minutes away. They never responded to the multiple calls of an intoxicated driver, only the fatal collision. I was banned from Protect and Serve for telling the truth, with one of the mods telling me "no one cares". Good job mod, I'll just go ahead and speak with a more honest crowd. I'm only posting this to let you know that the Blue Line is extremely real, even on the internet. Do not tell a police officer anything. Treat him with respect and do as he asks physically to prevent personal harm. There are many many good cops but every single one of them, with the exception of those whistle blowers in the media, will stay firmly planted on their side of the blue line, no matter how good and honest they are in their day to day lives. The Blue Line always comes first. If you do not comply regularly as an officer, officers will tend to not back you even on officer needs help calls. So you are punished by co workers for being honest. Your life depends on them backing you. You become willing to lie. The way the blue line works for falsifying a story on scene, if there is an incident like an unreasonable use of force or an illegal search, a couple of officers will come up with the story. They will then repeat it to another officer on scene, who repeats it to another and on down the line. They constantly repeat their false story as truth to each other until it becomes ingrained in their brain that this is the way the incident went down. They will repeat this even if they did not witness the actual events. Everyone writes the same report (many of them in pencil!) and if they want to hold you for something, they will, even if you didn't do the slightest thing wrong. Obstruction charges are easy to put on someone. Maybe you pissed one off somehow. (Utah nurse incident) The judge will believe the police close to 100% of the time unless there is video evidence that they have not manged to obtain and destroy. The Utah incident with the nurse clearly shows how most police departments work. Supervisors can and will twist things around to make you feel like you will get in trouble for not talking to them, even if you won't.Calling a watch commander or lieutenant to complain will get you exactly no where. Call IA, they might be interested if they have some former dirt on the officer in question. Up until this incident with the officers of Protect and Serve sub reddit, I would keep any info I had to myself. Now I won't, fuck them.
