Cops who turn thier siren on to avoid congested lights -or just run em

[Gobias Ind.]

I've recently found myself witnessing several occurrences lately, in which cops ran red lights for one reason or another. Two nights ago, 11pmish coming back from the grocery store, I see a cop make an illegal left-turn on what was green on my side. I was the only car approaching and he had plenty of time to make the turn. He followed it up by using the forthcoming red light as a mere stop sign.

Just over a week ago, I was on my way to the gym around 5pm when I saw a cop put on his lights/siren and go around a semi-busy intersection. He then turns the lights off not half a mile down the road. Maybe he heard an emergency and someone else responded? Fine, my thoughts exactly. Until I see the SAME COP (I know b/c his plates said "Police") pull the same move 4 miles down the road. Busy intersection -> siren on -> clear sailing ->siren off.

I whole-heartedly believe what is being done in both instances is completely unethical. Beyond ethics, is it a complete dick move, or does the Golden Rule apply? Am I being an anal loser for even caring about this or do I have a point that its complete and total [censored]?
