I’m fine, but my insurance isnt going to cover my Jeep, and since the sherrifs vehicle wasn’t being driven by a county employee, and was used in the commission of a crime, the sheriffs department isn’t covering it either. I think they made a big mistake by not making it right with me. i would’ve been fine with just being squared and covering my property damage. Now I have acquired an attorney who is happy as a pig in sh1t to take this case.
Basically. Lol. I picked the nastiest money grubbing lawyer firm I could find.
They literally let 2 vehicles drive through a spike strip operation on a narrow 2 lane road, then proceeded to spike strip their own vehicle that they allowed to get stolen. The truck that got rear ended had an 11 year old girl in it. The news coverage on it is pathetic and wildly incomplete.
Oh yeah. I’m fine. I have a very good sense for when I’m only hurt and when I’m injured. The lawyers are still going to send me in. My body has been fvcked up numerous times. I only have 3 ribs and 16 vertebrae left to achieve Evil Knievel status. Lol. My MRIs usually turn into pretty good conversations
damn. It seems to happen often actually. The police here are underfunded and overworked. My daughters condo complex in the city had a shootout going on with swat last night. She had to go sleep at her in-laws house because it was locked down when she tried to go home from work. This is not the worst area in Tucson either where she lives. next to a hospital in a decent neighborhood. I live outside the city about 12 miles and it’s like the wild fvcking west out here now. It’s gotten insane fast. There are major police raids and investigations out here constantly now. I woke up one morning a few weeks ago and heard what ended up being flash bang explosions and a police bullhorn blaring a recorded message for the inhabitants of that address to come outside. These large 1 acre + lots are cartel/cartel affiliates dream properties.
There are police shortages everywhere. The loss of qualified immunity is a big deal.
The pendulum did a swing too far in the direction of letting police abuse people and now it’s swinging too far in the other direction of not protecting the men and women who are good cops. I’m not sure how the attorneys are going to work my case, but the police on the scene were respectful and professional. I have a problem with the procedures they used by not blocking oncoming traffic with one of the 20 officers they had there, but after the fact they were all decent, even with the burglary suspect who stole their car. They even wheeled the douchebag right by me on the gurney on scene. I was thinking at the time that they shouldn’t have don that either. If I were a person who couldn’t control his anger, I may have broken his face as he was wheeled by. Lots of things about this deal point to inexperience and lack of training.
Seen a lot of police abuse in Denver. District 6 is one of the worst. I lived on 14th and Washington and witnessed quite a bit of police brutality and unprofessional behavior from the same officers over and over back in the early 2000s. The Guardian Angels (the red beret guys) had a huge presence back then walking the streets to stop crime and and also to curb the police abuse problems. It was definitely an issue in most cities.
