    They arrested him, made him sit in a cell for 27 hours and never once offered him medical care... Once he finally got released and went to the hospital doctors say he was not high or drunk, he had a stroke. He's gonna get paid big time!!!

    Just goes to show, truck drivers are always guilty until proven innocent... I feel bad for that driver and his family. Spend your whole life out here on the road serving society in a thankless job and can't even get proper medical treatment until big ego barney has been moved out of the way...

    Ok, copsucker. The "good" ones turn a blind eye to essentially back their brothers. They're accomplices that know the difference between right and wrong yet they continue collecting that pay check. If "just doing your job" stomps on health, safety and freedom then your "job" is totalitarianism. They're nothing but government hitmen.

    This is what happens when a untrained individual is allowed to wear a badge and gun. I learned long ago that is is much better to be pulled over or questioned by a state trooper over a city officer or a county deputy. The city officers there in Wytheville, Va MIGHT and I use the word "MIGHT" because I do not know another word to express my opinion, the officers MIGHT take a crash course in law at a community college, unlike a state trooper who goes thru a 6 months of pure hell training. I suspect that this case will be settled out of court and the public will never know what the officers cost the city of Wytheville through thier ignorance.
