LOL
I live in Allen Park, less than a mile from the accident site (and as far as I know I'm the only AP Freeper). This is the first I heard about this. I know a couple of the local cops personally, but this article doesn't give the name of the injured cop. I'd like to hear the whole story with more details.
I'm a Lincoln Park Freeper who used to live in Dearborn at Southfield and Outer Drive. Nice to meet you. Hahahaha
In Law Enforcement, we call the 17 year old's condition... HUA

(Nice to meet you, fellow Downriver resident.)
GOOD NEWS !!! - according to the AP police, the injured police officer (Dave Goss) is ok - he was released from the hospital this morning.

About 3 or 4 months ago, had a teenager run over a walker or bicyclist because the teenager was textmessaging someone.
What was worse was the punishment. Not even one day in jail.
The local police and HWY Patrol here in Florida have laptops in their cars ,, it is COMMON to see them typing and reading as they drive ,, sure it's work related (running plates etc.) but it's much more dangerous than using a phone which I can get ticketed for ... had a cop drive off the road into a sign (a cement wall actually) at a new shopping area in Altamonte Springs for that reason , idiot was running a plate on a car that ran from him while he was running at high speed ... funny cops NEVER get in trouble for at fault accidents even when they kill innocent people when they're hot-dogging they're treated like hero's (assuming they kill themselves in the crash also).
Damn, I hate days that start like that. Hope he recovers quickly.
You'll be pleased to know I've stopped surfing porn while driving.
Well, usually.
Thanks for the update.

Did you guys hear about the guy last week that shot that woman at the LP/AP border and then hid out at Paun School before shooting himself?
Yes. I know that little appartment complex (you can drive through it for a good shortcut across that part of town) but I had no idea it was a halfway house.

The day care camp right next door evidentally had no idea that's what it was either. My children and I were driving down Dix to get to DOC when we spotted the helicopter and road blocks at 75. When I heard he was still on the loose a few blocks from the house we hauled back and bolted everything dead tight.
