It seems like cops hate to be interviewed. I’ve been in the position a few times in my journalistic career to interview police officers, both over the phone and in person, and their responses to requests for an interview always fall under one of three categories:
1) “Sure, I’ll answer your questions. Just call back in 30 minutes and ask to speak to me then.”
2) “I’m booked solid today. Try coming back tomorrow.”
3) (No answer, no call back, not in office, seemingly not even employed there.)
I’m scheduled to interview a cop sometime this week, or this month, hopefully.
