May have actually been on the phone with said child, which might explain his lack of situational awareness.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722792638246578812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-15195826543395368742019-05-22T23:27:59.346-05:002019-05-22T23:27:59.346-05:00My bad.

My experience was buying HMMWV for sensor platforms for about $80,000 and I figured those things ran about that and then add the radios, computers, gear in the back etc and rounded up.HMS Defianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024721130102173694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-76465595923205068482019-05-22T16:15:58.719-05:002019-05-22T16:15:58.719-05:00$150,000????

Total price ran around $40k.<br /><br />Stupid cop, trying to hurry to a call. We're derided as useless if it takes us more than 10 seconds to get to ANY call, then castigated as power-hungry maniacs if we drive fast to ANY call.The Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04652204594401522181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-81445637938253202892019-05-22T03:48:36.637-05:002019-05-22T03:48:36.637-05:00With the evidence that trains use those tracks and...With the evidence that trains use those tracks and ignoring the horn blasts from the engine of the train that nailed him because even an idiot knows that trains always blow their horn for every level crossing, that deputy was so anxious to go he didn't hesitate to throw himself and $150,000 of the people's property into the path of an oncoming train. I am impressed with the second video. None of the usual blasphemy and foul language I see in 99% of this kind of video. That is increasingly rare.

"Interfering with law enforcement," "obstructing justice," and "conspiracy to obstruct" if there was more than one person in the locomotive cab at the time). <br /><br />I'm sure charges can also be brought against the CEO and other operating officers of the railroad as well. Such disregard for law enforcement cannot be tolerated. <br /><br />Probably some charges, too, for the Severely Sexist man - surely a woman would not have done it - who designed the crossing barrier mechanism intended to prevent stupidity becoming painful (or fatal). Has Kamala Harris been contacted to see what she has to say about this incident? <br /><br />Local government must immediately begin statewide construction of crossing overpasses - or train tunnels under them - to prevent future such occurrences, with majority cost being provided by the railroad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-83632355956050549872019-05-21T22:40:23.604-05:002019-05-21T22:40:23.604-05:00That must've made a serious - and lasting - im...<i>That</i> must've made a serious - and lasting - impression on The Long Arm Of The Law...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478357725456901372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-92178002360174848712019-05-21T22:18:43.378-05:002019-05-21T22:18:43.378-05:00At C&NW railroad we had a dual use form.
