Blindness

What is your reaction to the police officer refusing to help the women and with dark glasses get home? Do you think this was fair?

She gave an affirmative
nod, but, being blind, just imagine, she thought the
policeman might not have noticed her gesture and she
murmured, Yes, I have the money, and then under her
breath, added, If only I didn't, words that might strike us as
being odd, but which, if we consider the circumvolutions of
the human mind, where no short or direct routes exist,
these same words end up by being absolutely clear, what
she meant to say was that she had been punished because
of her disreputable conduct, for her immorality, and this was
the outcome

A policeman's job is to help those in need. He could have accompanied her, and yet, he chose to put her in a taxi. Had she not been blind, I might have found the acceptable. In her condition, however, I question his judgment. What do you think?
