    Was west bound on I-10 once right at grand bay al exit they had an impaired driver running people off the road so I called 911 and the local dispatch said it was a county problem so she transferred me to jasper county where they said it was highway patrols problem so again they transfer me to hwy patrol and guess what they don’t even answer the phone! A lot of them are hiding just waiting on their pensions to kick in

    Reminds me of an incident on I-10 in grand bay al there was a car all over the road running people off on the median to keep from getting smack! So like any Good Samaritan would do I called 911 and they said let me transfer you to jasper county, so they did and they said not there problem I’ll transfer you to highway patrol where I didn’t even get an answer! I’m not gonna put down on law enforcement but there are a lot of them just hiding out waiting on there pensions

    Hot ####. They pulled out the small arms AND both types of long guns (the mp5 is a higher pitch, more staccato, and repeats faster than the shotgun). They sure wanted that driver's games done RIGHT THEN

    IDK,that “lousy Volvo” still gave the cops a run for their money. At least it was resolved in a rural area,I’d hate to imagine if he had gone into a major city wreaking havoc (it’s a short drive to Fort Wayne).

    Also I think they did not understand just how lightfooted a bobtail is.

    A cop with a pair of clangers would have made a monster pit against his frame rails aft of the drive. Spin him like a top. They would be singing songs on his legend for ever in the squad room.

    I think in this case, the guy definitely had plenty of chances. That poor guy in the hotel in Arizona crawling on his knees with his hands up, only to get shot by Officer Roidrage -- that one still bothers me, since I still can't see any reason for the guy to unload his gun into him while he was doing his best to comply with his commands.

    You spoke a magic word Roidrage.

    Or slightly differently rageshoot. Baltimore filled a mental defective who actually got a gun (Banned on so many stacks of laws all the way to Uncle Sam in that city. Especally for him...) with lead. Ive put a link to that one somewhere recently. No more mental defective who did want suicide by cop and boy did he ever.
