    Excuse me ? Whack job ????

    Now that statement leads me to believe the issuing officer/hostage.... needs some serious help also.

    Just like the nutty behavior exhibited by the driver. The officers are equally delusional.

    Who the hell writes a citation, then forgets WHY it was written ??? What's going to happen when one of these officers "think" a driver is an escape felon?

    So what we have here, are 3 people who need to be removed from their jobs. Not just one.

    It is obvious that the "SPOKESMAN" didn't write the citation.

    Okay..I was wrong.

    There are FOUR people who need to be out of a job.

    Anybody who opens their mouth in front of a camera or a reporter, deserves what follows. Especially if that person is a "spokesman" who didn't, couldn't, wouldn't do their homework.

    His ACTUAL commit should have been, "I don't know what the citation was issued for, or if it even led to this event. I'm unclear about the facts."

    But that would have shown him to be a talking head...not an "Official" spokesman.

    But then again...he was most likely college educated, with ZERO military background.

    College -- Open mouth insert foot.

    Military -- Speak clearly and truthfully, so there is ZERO misunderstanding of your communication. Peoples lives may depend on it.
