That’s one of the safety tips that are spread to women nowadays-—go into a well lit or populated area if you are a woman and driving alone.

Topeka PD got into even MORE trouble after local TV crews caught uniformed cops bragging after the verdict that they will "get" the guy that killed their fellow brother....one even joking that he would be found with a gun in his hand the next time anyone reads about him.

Now there's an SOB that needs to die in the line of duty.....

No doubt they remained employed by their respective departments.

I intend to drive to place full of witnesses or the police station if I ever see lights flashing behind me on the nowhere stretches of I70. If the trooper gets pissed, too bad. Looking not like real cops was their bright idea.

You'll probably get rammed for refusing to pull over.

Can’t go wrong with Gary Larson.

Just as well - the ammo costs are ridiculous.

Sounds like you need to have the “Honey, we need a Dobe-a-matic” talk with Mr. Salamander. :-)

And then I’ll probably get hauled off to jail for “fleeing and eluding” or some such crap....LOL

And then I’ll sue because _the cops_ were the ones who put out the alert “advice” in the newspaper about driving to a populated place or PD.

In *theory*, as per -their- instructions, I am to put on my four ways and drive sedately to said locations which is ~supposedly~ a signal to the following cop that I suspect he’s actually a psychopathic rapist and/or murderer.

Sounds like the threat made on a LEO website against Brett Darrow, whose video got a police officer fired:

"I hope this little POS punk bastard tries his little video stunt with me when I pull him over alone- and I WILL pull him over - because I will see "his gun" and place a hunk of hot lead right where it belongs."

Nope.

They’re not outta control.

No sirree.

It’s crazy...when I was a little kid, the first thing my dad taught me was that if *anything* happened to me, such as getting lost or whatever, I was supposed to -immediately- go find a cop because they’d protect me and keep me safe.

I’m not buying that much, any more.

Switch to Halo *now*.

You’ll not only be getting guaranteed human grade food for your kittehs, you’ll -save- money because you don’t use as much.

Halo is great stuff.

*No* garbage in it, whatsoever.

You can even sign up at the Halo site for coupons off their food or I could email my coupon links to you, if you want.

Oh you’ll get no argument from me in that regard.

I just have tremendous faith in the ability of LEOs to contrive extra-judicial means of punishing people who inconvenience them.

In fact, my last experience as a juror has convinced me you will be disqualified from service if you give any hint of skepticism for the “plausibility” of why and how the police acted in any given circumstance in the performance of their duty.

No, I was not disqualified, but the direction of the questioning quickly convinced me the goal was not to find a pool of impartial jurors, but a group who would not question the authority and decisions of the police.

I expect a lot of Freepers were told that in their childhoods.

How unfortunate that future generations of Freepers will have less and less experience with peace officers and more experiences with law enforcement officers. I pray they will not view this as “normal”.
