Clinton called it “contributions”
Remember that?
You do recall this guy, right? The guy who was putting a choke hold on an EMT while he wrote up a ticket on an ambulance driver?
(Or is this just his twin brother?)_
Sheriff should be called asshole.
Could have followed the procession and waited if he was so bent on issuing the damned tickets.
Only a cop who hates other cops would pull crap like this. He singlehandedly created thousands of people who now will have this event as a a guide to police behavior, and that’s not a good thing.
Welcome to California??
I live in Vegas, was in Sucramento a few weeks back. I got pulled over by a bike cop because he “thought he’s seen me here before.” “wanted to know what i was doin” in sacramento.. WTF? someone help me out here. I AM allowed to go state to state w/o papers right? This isn’t Germany 1938 right? No it’s the “role model for american Government”
I don’t know all the facts but I think that officer acted stupidly.
I am waiting for all of the “law and order” people to show up and claim that these people had it coming to them.
Wow. WA state must be in even more fiscal trouble than I knew about. Too many liberals and far lefts running the show there now.
Peace Officer IS NOT EQUAL TO Law Enforcement Officer
Just another two legged d*ck with a badge and no balls.
#2 - the above being said, officers are granted a great deal of discretion in such cases. The officer could have just as easily given them a warning and sent them on the way, considering the circumstances.
Regardless of ones opinion of seatbelt laws, and despite what “the law says”, come on - it was a funeral procession. If you REALLY needed to pull them over (debatable), give them a quick warning/admonition and let them get back to the funeral activities. Gee wiz...
Dave Reagan - you are a disgrace to your family name and a general shiite-haid...
They should do like I’ve done: stop giving to cop charities.
It’s called civil servants cutting off their noses to spite their faces. The law abiding anti-police forces just grew by hundreds.
Police forces across the nation are going to pay for those who crassly abuse and brutalize Americans. I am surprised they are this stupid.
This guy has to be a real dumbass. I can see pulling someone over if they are engaged in a high speed funeral possession but this sounds like it was one of those 15 mile an hour jobs.
At least he didn't say, "Statics show that most accidents occur within 1.5 miles of a cemetery."
Oh yeah, there's risk of these bereaved people racing around and causing an accident.
to protect and serve /s
I’m trying to figure out first, why the procession wouldn’t have stopped if it noticed it lost 5 cars of people. Second, why they would bury the guy with family members not there yet, knowing they were part of the procession. Third, how they got the guy to the cemetary and buried in 12 minutes.
