Just doing my job

Lame:

Canoeist Dennis Bohrn and his companions were stunned when they saw a woman jump off the Perrine Bridge, her body landing near them in the Snake River. Many in the group were crying by the time they managed to reach the woman and paddle her body to shore.

So Bohrn was shocked when an officer walked up and instead of thanking or comforting the group last Sunday, wrote out a couple of $85 tickets for failing to have life jackets on board either of the two canoes.

    And what are the officer’s name, address (home, of course) and phone numbers?

    This is precisely the kind of matter to which Charlton Heston referred in his speech to the Harvard Law School (see below).

    When a mugger sues his elderly victim for defending herself, jam the switchboard of the district attorney’s office. When your university is pressured — your university — is pressured to lower standards until 80% of the students graduate with honors, choke the halls of the Board of Regents. When an 8-year-old boy pecks a girl’s cheek on the playground and then gets hauled into court for sexual harassment, march on that school and block its doorways. When someone you elected is seduced by political power and betrays you — petition them, oust them, banish them. When Time magazine’s cover portrays millennium nuts as deranged, crazy Christians holding a cross as it did last month, boycott their magazine and the products it advertises.

    So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobediences of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men, by God’s grace, built this country.

    If Dr. King were here, I think he would agree.

    This cop must emulate Mike Nifong.

    The issuing officer worked for the county, not the city.

    Ha! that page also provides contact info for the Sheriff’s Dept and County Commission.

    For some odd reason, the Sheriff Dept website is down….

    What an asshole. I’ll bet if it was one of his buddies they wouldn’t have gotten a ticket.

    And they let a man who is obviously mentally impaired carry a gun? While they argue normal people should not.

    That cop who wrote the ticket must be a former New Jersey State Trooper.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
