What a crock of crap............


There would have been much better ways to go about that, such as warning the kids to go home, or something like that, but to arrest everyone and impound their cars which were not in violation is absurd. What kind of brains are on these police forces?


Oh well...............

I have a feeling that the prosecutor will drop most all the charges against these people in fear of heavy lawsuits (although that will happen regardless).

I really hope this Judge decides to do this as well.

WOW...see, just like the 1 in 20 car enthusiasts who tear a$$ out of a parking lot and make the rest of us look bad, this 1 cop in the department makes them all look bad.

They towed a ****pile of imports off. I saw one flatbed tow truck with six sportbikes strapped down to it. Alot of the people arrested were underage, and many were drinking. The parking lot usually looks like the aftermath of a tornado on Sundays.

I always thought that in instances like that though to be jerky about it would have an adverse effect from what you want.

If I had been the manager of the KMart or the Sonic I would have told the kids, look, I don't care if ya kick it, but you have to clean up after yourselves and leave the liquor at home or you and your pals aren't allowed to hang here anymore.

It sounds hokey...but the same kids that I told you about with the 9 and 10 seconds trailer queens up in San Mateo and San Jo that took em out on that deserted highway and ran em hung out in a parking lot and they were very respectful and cleaned up their mess and cheered when some dumba$$ went flying out of the parking lot trying to show off and got popped by a cop sitting across from him at the light. Not all kids are disrespectful and evil.

I'll let you guys in on a little secret. The police is quasi-military, in that you do what your superior officer tells you to do. I know, all you police-haters, would have told the supervisor "hell no", but that is easy to say as you sit and type to a monitor. They forgot to put in the article that ALL POLICE are like this, what bad journalism. Most of you obviously know that when the evil police "cracks" down on drag-racing or set-up those so called speed traps it is in response to citizens making numerous complaints to the department, or construction workers who are in danger because people don't feel they should be told that they need to slow down in the construction area.

I'm not saying that I agree with what they did, but there is always more to the story. And to you guys who think that they will get "new rides" or should sue, that is whats wrong with this country, RUNAWAY LITIGATION.

Hay you think that is bad get into the trucking business. I deal with this all the time. You got all the people that have guns and badges that think they are GOD. We got to stand up for what is right are they will keep running over us. I try to get the people in the trucking Ind. to stand up but that is like talking to a wall.

osumason, I totally agree. Why do you think your property taxes, and all of your insurance rates are so damn high? Because people sue for everything they can THINK of, and almost always win.

Don't get me wrong - some people deserve it. But the majority of these people don't.
Take, for instance, my bro-in-law's uncle. He got hit by a car. Broke his leg. He didn't have any permanent damage, just a small fracture. He's completely fine now, you'd never know - Except, he sued the driver, because the guy was driving an Escalade, and he figured the guy had money. He's a few hundred grand richer now. THAT is bull*****.... On top of that, the guy covered his medical bills, court costs, etc.

People will take ANY incident, and blow it WAY out of proportion, just to make money.

Now, don't get me wrong - I think this whole bust is BS, too. At the most, though, these people are owed nothing more than any money missed from work, a clean police record, and any monies spent on getting their cars back from impound. (including any damages to the vehicles.)

Anything more than that is just plain proposterous.

We are not trying to get rid of all police , only the Turd Heads and those who don't have the sense GOD give a Billy Goat. This accurate description obviously describes this Officer in charge to a T!!!

I dont see what the big deal is, if i was a supervisor and i saw that many imports in the same spot at the same time,i may have had the place napalmed

That just sucks. I hate it when this crap happens. Kids are too busy being 'gangstas' and cops are too busy pretending they are at Waco or Ruby Ridge. Somewhere in the middle the rest of us have to live.

I can start to see where the roots of domestic 'terrorism' begin: sometimes you reach a breaking point and just want to blow something up.

Too bad you can't just take the few bad cops out back and give 'em a good beating. They give the other 95% who are decent people a bad name.

I'm going to get another beer and try to forget about this BS...
