Don't misunderstand--I'm not defending the behavior of the cops! That's why I called them "Schutzstaffel." I'm sure you get the reference. As I understand it from the local press, their behavior is being investigated and it's likely they will be disciplined for their stupidness.

Here's the local press write-up: Virginia Cops With Nothing Better To Do Terrorize Nervous College Girl And Nearly Get People Killed

Don't misunderstand

I don't think I misunderstood, this is exactly what you said

When the liquor Schutzstaffel officers tried to stop her as she left the store, she ran instead of stopping and showing them what she bought. She and her girlfriend jumped in their vehicle, rolled up the windows, and drove off, running over two officers in the process. Sounds like everybody was hysterical, not just the cops.

I read the story. You have stated things that are not found in the story. Nowhere does it say she ran, nowhere does it say they jumped into the vehicle and rolled up the windows. Nowhere does is say she "ran over" two officers.

Sounds like everybody was hysterical,

Including you!

Thanks for the link. It shows that in addition to the LaCroix bottled water the sorority girls also had COOKIE DOUGH AND ICE CREAM that they had bought. That was highly suspicious for University of Virginia students. The six plainclothes cops showed considerable restraint by not wrestling the sorority sisters to the ground. They clearly deserve to be awarded metals for valor and immediate promotions.

All law enforcement officers can beam with pride that they have these 5 brother officers and 1 sister officer in the LEO fraternity.

The only thing is that the newspaper articles published the name of the impacted University of Virginia student but not the names of these valiant officers. I guess they must possess great modesty in addition to the valor they possess.

After reading that article, I have to wonder, WHY? As a former police officer & military veteran the description of events sounds like a gang attack. This young lady had no idea who these people were or their intentions. One troubling part of this entire situation, how would they know if she was underage? Were they running plate numbers in the parking lot? No, this sounds way above common sense, this almost appears like a shakedown!

OttBMare, I apologize for coming on too strong. I didn’t mean to give you a hard time. Women can’t take chances and that’s all I was trying to convey.
