Few of them do.
The fact that this one did is an anomaly, and if we have to have cops, this may have been a bad one to lose.
“For all the *bad* cops threads and all the misconduct that you hear about in the general police force, I’ve never heard that about our NY troopers.
Every single one of them that I’ve encountered has been very professional.”
I can ‘ditto’ your comment. In fact I’ve mentioned it before. I have seen a lot of cops go over the line but I have NEVER seen a NYS Trooper conduct himself un professionally.
This one is not anomaly for NYS Troopers. He was just doing what I see troopers do almost every day I’m on the interstate.
We live very close to one and being so far out in the middle of nowhere, use it all the time so, yes, I do see these guys doing this virtually daily.
Damn, the title was a bit ambiguous. I was hoping it wasn’t fatal. Prayers for the families.
