Right or wrong, people have had it!

Why do police cars have radar detectors?

Why do peace officers drive around with huge caches of assault weapons in their trunks?

Why do peace officers drive around with huge caches of high powered assault weapons in their trunks?

[Dead Corpse]

Because they can? After all, who are we to tell them they can't? We aren't cop, we're little people.

Yeah... I'm getting fed up with that attitude too... Any idea on where I can get a good deal on a really big tractor?

[cotton1706]

Why, to subjugate the people of course!

[Thane_Banquo]

Arrested for pot possession. Title should read, “Another left-wing hippie goes postal.” No doubt he’s been smoking a little to much of what he’s been farming.

"people have had it"

What is "it" that people have had?

[Eye of Unk]

We need bigger tractors.

“and one count of leaving the scene of an accident.”

Don’t see how this count will hold... Where was the accident?

[Gaffer]

This man did an immense public service.

[Oberon]

"...and one count of leaving the scene of an accident."

It's kind of difficult to argue that any "accident" occurred. Some vandalism occurred, but it was no accident.

[Farmer Dean]

Stupid cops don’t seem to know the difference between an accident and an “on purpose”.

[layman]

If it were up to me this guy would have to come up with $300,000 to cover damage to taxpayers’ property ... his farm might cover at least the down payment.

[southern rock]

Buzzcuts and attitute! LOL!

If these cars had those seizure inducing, drum solo light shows on them, then this tractor driver did a huge public service.

[tacticalogic]

I’d want more information before I’d be willing to state that as fact. People have been busted over feral “ditchweed” hemp they didn’t even know was there. Tight budgets and the possibility of getting the proceeds from an asset forfeiture can make you a juicy target.

Your dog is hard to kill.

[P.O.E.]

Sounds like something Burt Reynolds would do to Jackie Gleason.

Wonder if he was yelling “Yeehaw” the whole time. (or whatever the New England equivalent is)

[Mr. Quarterpanel]

...angry about his recent arrest for resisting arrest and marijuana possession...

I wonder if he smoked a fatty and was TOTALLY baked when he drove through the parking lot?

[microgood]

Since 99% of all government in this country has gone to the dark side and are the enemies of the people, I have to side with the farmer.
