And yet another off-duty officer charged with impaired driving.

"SHE"...was involved in a single vehicle collision,driving an,"Unmarked Police Vehicle"

So,what's the frikken story here...we have to be afraid of police vehicles...or what?:huh:

And yes I realize that it's only a small amount of Officers that carry on this way.

Total freakin shame.
This will be hard for me but her it goes.
On June 18 of this year one of my closest riding buddy was killed on his Harley. The driver turned in front of him. The driver was a habitual offender driving on a 5 year suspension, driving a borrowed Beemer. This happened 2 blocks from his home so it didnt take long for word to travel amongst the bikin community. My friends son (who happens to ride a Kawi) got there before the sheet was draped over his lifeless body. Shit happens and we all can agree on this one. Well when the scumbag was in the back of the cop car with one of his passengers they proceded to say death to the gringo and started to do the gang sign shit with thier hands while in custody, they had no f--king mercy for my friend laying in the road. Withen a couple of hours he was released after driving on suspended license with fatality. Well last week was the court date, and guess who didnt show up, the mother f---er who killed my friend. We believe he is an illegal alien from what the cops told my friends wife. A slap on the hand for killing someone while conducting illegal activity (DUI, Driving on a suspended licence and what not) just infuriates me. Now there is one more family ruined from someones poor judgement. To top it off he has a lengthy criminal record and shouldnt be in this country if he is an illegal alien, and no the owner of the Beemer who knowingly loaned his car to someone without a valid license faced any repercussions. Sorry about the rant but this has been pent up for a while. gotta go now the keyboard is swimming in tears.

Rest in peace to all of the fallen riders and may you enjoy the eternal ride.

God Bless you David Winters

That's a sad, sad story, kawickrice. My deepest sympathy on the loss of your buddy.
So what are the odds the cops or the INS will catch up to that scumbag perp ?? Slim ?? None ??
Why would ANY judge be stupid enough to release someone like that in the first place ??? Dumb, dumb, dumb...(shakes his head)....:S :huh:

ride your bike too fast, go to the market and steal a loaf of bread,fail to signal for a turn,try to intervene in a street fight,and see how you get treated by the law enforcment community.
My good friend just got back from his third tour(twice afgan,once iraq,) and he gets let go every time without a warning,in fact they say thank you,granted he served his country above what should be asked,(war sucks).
yet can all citizens be equal?is that not what we preach.
I got a300.00 ticket from a local cop that sees my truck every day on an in town work day ,loaded with supplies in town ,on a back street 3-way stop,for not stopping for a full second before going.
Makes me mad now again to think about it.No warning ,no thank you for building the local economy,no thanks for paying taxes,just a ticket to generate revenue off my labors..
these guys can be cool as hell some of the time ,for sure.
But when they are bad the private sector should get to be judge and jury...see how they like it....blah...peace
