Police men being cretins..
I hardly think that would be true.
They were probably following strict procedure learnt in years of
extensive training!
To a mere impatient layman bystander, like yourself, this may have
been seen as dordelling.
But I am sure our heroes in blue sorted this out as fast and SAFELY as
possible.
There job is hard enough without a bunch of impatient horn tooting
morons making uninformed and stupid glib remarks.
Please think in future.
