Basically the same thing GMC_2002_Dmax said.
I worked for CA state parks in high school, doing maintenance. I called the rangers (who are state police) on our radio about people training attack dogs in the park (seriously, WTF!?!). The ranger shows up, and treats ME (the guy in a state parks uniform who reported it) like sucm, no better than the people with the dogs. At least he kicked them out, but no other punishment for them.
Then again, I did know 1 (of the 5+ in our district) ranger who would ticket the people who deserved it, give breaks to those who weren't endangering others, and was nice to everyone, even the criminals he arrested. I have the utmost respect for him and the cops like him. He risked his life just as much as (often more than) the other rangers, and still respected people. This shows they can be nice and effective; this is how they should all act.

Heck, earlier this year a guy was totally stoned and racing down our road. He went off the (perfectly straight) road and took out 300 feet of fencing. We called 911, and 15 minutes later an ambulance was there to take the driver to the hospital. ANOTHER 20 minutes later (we're only 15 minutes from town), a cop finally shows up, and didn't even want to make a report. Took us 10 minutes to convince him to write down the damage just so we could give it to our insurance. He split as soon as he handed us a copy of the report, and wouldn't get the wrecked vehicle towed. The dirt bags friends end up showing up to get the vehicle, and in the end we had to load the wreck up for them...
