In other words, a car slid into a ditch on slush, had the cop minded his own business, nothing’s all would have happened.
ReplyDeleteSnowflake triggered lol
DeleteSo two drunks out driving in the snow have accidents, and you blame the police for doing their job.
ReplyDeleteI guess if you think their job is stealing cash from citizens for victimless crimes.
ReplyDeleteThis scenario should have gone like this. Cop sees car in ditch in bad weather, rolls window down and asks if everyone is ok, does anyone need help? Answer, no.Tow truck in route? Answer, yes. Drive on.
We don’t need the Government mercenary Corp involved in private citizens lives to steal money.
Yes I blame police. He stopped his car in bad weather in a motorway causing an accident. Had he not tried to project the power of the state no collision would have occurred. Period. Undeniable fact.
@ 12:12 And if the drunk moved on and then hit you or a car driven by a loved one and they were killed or seriously injured--you would be screaming "why didn't they pull him over?" Somehow, I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteVictimless crimes--laughable, just as is your entire comment.
ReplyDeleteReally???? Victimless? Ask poor Baby Eva's family....then tell me "victimless". The actions of a drunk driver shattered that family forever. Tens of thousands of people are killed by drunk drivers each year--guess they are not victims either--
