    Here is a typical oath they take.

    "On my honor, I will never betray my badge, my integrity, my character or the public trust.

    I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions.

    I will always uphold the constitution, my community, and the agency I serve."

    We all witness the reality of cops taking their sweet time to report to residential crime, but how they will literally die trying to race to a commercial crime showing up in a few minutes. This is not their oath though. It would be like a doctor deciding not to treat someone because they didn’t like their nationality. Why do officers uniquely violate their oath?
