Unfortunately, that policy led to an Officer being murdered in Lake Forest a few years back.

On Saturday, June 12, 1999, Deputy Brad Riches was brutally murdered in the city of Lake Forest. At approximately 12:52 a.m., Riches was on routine patrol, driving through the parking lot of a 7-eleven store.
Without warning or provocation, a man carrying an AK-47 assault rifle opened fire on Riches while he sat in his patrol car.
Riches valiantly began an emergency radio transmission, but succumbed to the more that two-dozen assault rifle rounds that were fired at him.
During the news conference, Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona called the attack "sudden and unprovoked," and "as brutal as you can possibly imagine."
Five hours after the shooting, deputies and investigators arrested 39-year-old Maurice Gerald Steskal, a Lake Forest man who allegedly walked into the mini-market with an assault rifle and told the clerk that his intention was not to rob the store, but to use the weapon against police.

When you get to the top of your profession, you have no more @$$ to kiss to rise higher. All you can do is start kissing the @$$es of the people who got you there, and hope they don't pull you off your pedestal.
