If I were a cop I could see myself getting pissed off at a negligent parent. I once saw a woman in Queens NYC holding a bawling baby wearing just a diaper in 40 degree weather. The mother was wearing a down coat. She was chatting outside for nearly 45 minutes while the kid was crying and turning colors. I was 15 at the time, I should have shit talked her but I didn't.
But that's a cops job, helping the victimized. He did the right thing. It is the sole responsibility of the courts to decide how much at fault the woman is.
