So, I was out riding a trail in St. Louis and came across a lady with a flat tire. She didn't have any tools/tubes with her, so we used a friend's patch kit... The patch held for a while, then the tire went flat again. To our delight, a police officer rolled by in his Ford Explorer. We stopped him and asked for a lift back to the trail head (2 miles-ish), to which he responded "the only way I am going to let anyone in my car is if they are in handcuffs". He proceeded to roll up his window and drive off. This is exactly the behavior I expect out of cops these days - they are willing to give out speeding tickets to generate revenue for their department, but they aren't willing to help people who need it.

What ever happened to "protect and serve"?
