thanks for the Info.
i was wondering why all the Police cars.
ironically
i moved to the left lane going west on the 64, because of an Alligator and a Schinder truck blocking part of the right lane and the whole shoulders, right after it blow a drive tire and the driver was out side on the road.
which slowed the police swap team just a bit .!
sorry,
i did not expected the car lights behind me to move at about 110Mph, with flashing police lights only to it's rear...

Can you imagine the outcry from the anti-police crowd if this were to happen. My god, we would never hear the end of it.

I looked to see if there's a story, nothing. Just the photos. I don't see a tanker either, looks like the tractor may have caught fire though.

This is going to do wonders to help clean up the public's perception of truck drivers. God, I hope the guy doesn;t have long hair, a teashirt with holes on it (whith a fat belly sticking ouut of it) and cowboy boots on! Man, that is just insane!

After being in a truck for years the thought of a warm jail cell, free food, and a free weekly shower might just be enough to coax the guy out of the truck! lol

The use of deadly force is justified and allowed.

Otherwise the police would never be able to shoot someone in a stand off.

This guy earned it.
Learn the difference between the rule of law and the rule of men .... and then learn the meaning of these words:

"No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury ..... nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; ....."

You can find the complete text here:

Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution

What did the baby do?
Was there a baby involved ?

Sorry I musta missed that ..... :rolleyes:

The use of deadly force is justified and allowed.
In particular circumstances, certainly.

Otherwise the police would never be able to shoot someone in a stand off.
See above.

Turn in your American citizenship immediately. You'd be more at home in North Korea.
