    park ranger and calls for service officer are to different things. most city calls for service officers dont even have radar. they answer calls all night or day. some big city's still walk the beat and dont have cars. like Chicago

    not much in the article. unless the officer was out of his/her lane, it appears the truck pulled out in front of the cruiser.

    Weyerhaeuser’s rail drop yard for the loads coming in on UP RR is on that rd. It is next door to the AT&T center were the Spurs play their home games. SAPD sub station is down the rd and around the corner from there. He was pulling out and cop was blindly driving simple as that. I have 3 Buddies that pulled tons of plywood outa there till JB partnered up with Weyerhaeser and Homer Depot.

    There is absolutely no need for them to running plates while moving.

    We had horses on our block in Baltimore City all the time day and night until 1975. We children were always given permission and a apple by the deli to love on them horses. Sometimes they get confused because of their training to subdue crowds etc. And need some encouragement not to go loco on that loving at work.

    In 1975 they went two to a car and stayed in them for the most part.

    We lost a little something forever that year.

    Like they did before the 90s? Say it ain't so. They only did it via dispatch for something like 80 years.

    Porn my man, porn!

    Downfall of many via a computer...
