He was a being a revenuer.Ryckehttp://current-news-you-can-use.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-48768154160445543022015-04-08T13:29:11.324-06:002015-04-08T13:29:11.324-06:00I used to think that William Grigg "cherry pi...I used to think that William Grigg "cherry picked" for police incidents to report. I no longer think that. I have personally seen incidents of the type reported by Grigg here. Just in the last week I've seen two, one happening directly to me.<br /><br />Last Friday I watched as a deputy pulled an illegal U turn across a double yellow line at a somewhat complicated intersection (between a light and a separate merger lane), then put the pedal to the metal, chirping the tires on the Chrysler hot rod cruiser, running up to a red light 100 yards up the street. I watched to see if he was going to turn on the lights and siren and continue his "pursuit" through the light. He didn't. He finally succumbed to the restraints of safety and legality and stopped at the light.<br /><br />The second incident happened yesterday morning just before sunup. I was heading to work on a 70 mph highway and a car rolled a stop sign at an intersection, turning in my direction in front of me, and then did NOT put the pedal to the metal. I had to stand on the brake down to 40 and then, not having seen the insignia on the vehicle in the dark I leaned on the horn to express my displeasure at the rude driving. He pulled to the wide right shoulder, whereupon I saw the insignia, and continued to roll at about 40. If I had not braked hard, my only option would have been an illegal pass over a double yellow line. As it was, I went past him when he pulled to the right and continued, resuming the speed limit. He sped up and fell in behind me for the next 10 minutes.<br /><br />These are minor incidents, to be sure, but demonstrate their poor attitude and disregard for the safety of people around them. Where are they finding these guys, or what is their training teaching them?old rightnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-1799199308779134602015-04-07T19:58:24.621-06:002015-04-07T19:58:24.621-06:00Wow.

When I sued Nampa City for civil rights violations they had insurance. Now Boise County is strapped with one big lawsuit and another is on the way. This is an example of a poor cover up by the police to keep another lawsuit from happening and it will. Illegal Search and Seizure of blood evidence, tainted samples, no chain of evidence, and being ALLOWED by hospital staff to do as they please? Sue the hospital too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
