      “Please officer, please help me. Please do literally anything consistent with the stated role of your profession!”

      “No”

      “Ok, I’m going to ask this of a different officer.”

      “What do you think this is? A Walmart?!”

          I’ve never heard the term before but, based on context, I’d say it means going to multiple police stations looking for a cop who will do what you want. Similar to the way that an addict might visit multiple doctors seeking drugs.
