He's not wrong though. The cop is there to end the problem, whatever that problem is. You don't complain about the cop to the cop, you complain about the cop to the cops boss. To the mayor. To the media. To the Attorney General for your state. To your lawyer if need be. Those are the people who are going to resolve the problem with the cop, whether that problem is a lack of training, discipline, or an excess of job.
