Look - I like cops just fine - but this goes beyond stupid: the guy's dad died instead of just getting better at the hospital. Most any other version of human being would say something like "shoot, the guy's dad died, so maybe he'd want to go to his funeral".
Nope, these geniuses figured that the same game plan was the one that they would go with and arrest a guy just as he helped put the coffin in the hearse!. It is beyond belief that we actually have armed law enforcement officers out there that think that this kind of behaviour is acceptable. And I love their version of "discretely arresting" someone. Imagine how chaotic one of their "normal" arrests must be..
The whole bunch of them ought to be demoted to meter maids!
no they should be fired.
There plan B was probably a take down on the road,
tire puncture sticks for the hearse and drawn machine guns in full tech dress.
Too bad. The Sheriffs had an arrest warrant that the perp had repeatedly evaded.
