Casualties among those who promised to protect and serve were high. In the early days of the outbreak, calls to respond to ‘domestic disturbances’ and ‘street fights’ peaked. Not knowing what these calls truly represented, oftentimes police officers found themselves at the scene of a zombie attack. Without backup, which was likely engaged elsewhere responding to similar incidents, more and more police were bitten. Sometimes these men and women, not knowing that the scratches they had picked up on duty were infected, would go back to their daily lives, put in their patrol shifts, and finally, weeks afterward, go berserk in their precinct. It is not uncommon to find these police zombies stumbling around, armed to the teeth with weapons they have forgotten how to maintain and fire, mindlessly walking their old patrol routes in search of victims.
