You posted a "what if" scenario, and I don't see the relevance. Not everyone who is drinking is belligerent and aggressive. Some are, but that doesn't mean the police can ignore everyone in that situation. If the second sentence in a conversation with a police officer has "f-ing pig" in it, then no, I wouldn't expect the police to listen that well. But realistically most people don't talk like that anyways. And really it shouldn't matter that much anyways. If the police officer was called a pig a minute before by another drunk and lifers girlfriend asked for help, he isn't absolved of his duty.


I posted a rather common occurance (scenario as you called it) to try to add some perspective. I think it is relevant. And I agree with you, not every situation should be ignored simply because someone is drunk- as I stated, I am willing to bet she was offered some advise on how to pursue it when she sobered up. And yes, realistically, A LOT of people talk that way especially in that setting.
