I agree with this entirely...I am a cop of 32 years experience....If you ignored abuse from the public that required an arrest, and didn't arrest because of wanting to be a nice guy, you made the job more dangerous for the next cop who had to deal with the "nice guy." I feel, while not exactly the same, it is pretty close....the next ump will have to finish your job because now, he thinks he can get away with it....If he needs ejecting, eject him...
