Well... for starters....
How about their response time! That's hysterical right there.
When their cars were being crushed, the cops were only minutes away!
It don't get much more hilarious than that!
And then only on the heels of a 911 call!!! Really???
Blessings,

If this were a Smokey & the Bandit movie I'd be rollin on the floor, but what about response time to citizens calling for help? With half the Dept's cars dead their ability to respond is virtually eliminated and leaves citizens in need of help swinging in the breeze there. With most SDs and PDs stretched to the limit already?
It may be good for a laugh, but not good in the end, especially if you're hiding in your bathroom from a home invader and no LEOs can get to you because some SFB crushed the cars.

Google the title of the news story and one of the other news reports specifically cites a witness as estimating that the back tires of the tractor were about 15' tall.
For those who are humor challenged.....they, the deputies, looked out a window to see the guy pulling a Grave Digger on their cars and could not get downstairs in time to catch him.
Man, a security camera video of this would make my day.

It might be one for World's Dumbest, but boy it sure is funny. Thanks for the warning to have my pie hole emptied prior to perusal.
Farmer Bob rolling down the road whistling Dixie. Police SGT says, "Well go get him!" Officer points out the window and says in his best Gomer Pyle voice, "In what? Surprise, surprise, surprise."

the true tragedy???
At least two deputies had gone inside a few moments before after washing their vehicles, officials said.
Isn't it always AFTER you wash them that this happens...

. We're going to have to get the jaws of life up here to pry the trunks open and see about the rifles and shotguns
More evidence of cops running around with M16s I think ... why they need M16s? To shoot us most likely when the time comes.
Not happy with the cops? Then he should have ran over their POVs ... ah, he was probably high at the time.

Most officers only have AR-15 or something similar. No one ever said they had M-16s.

The feds have been giving away M16s ... so its likely they have M16s. You can do a FOIA request with them if you wish to determine AR15 or M16 variety.

Certainly not the "correct way" to protest.
I do find it quite humorous from a surreal standpoint.

Well, actually, most fully-automatic patrol rifles are AR-15's anyway. The M16 is a very specific configuration of a fully-automatic AR-15.
But your intended point is valid. The officers in my area are only using semi-automatic AR-15s.

To be honest, I am conflicted by this news story.
I can see the surreal humor in it, and I can also see the not so humorous aspects.
If this police force was known to be a corrupt bunch of A-Holes and D-Bags, the Rebel in me says "Hell Ya!"
But, the reality is more than likely not that, and this guys actions are wrong on sooo many levels.
Have we, as a society, devolved this far?

Let's go back to the very beginning of this story:
Assuming the recent arrest was because of the marijuana possession, at no time did this man actually do anything to harm a single soul until this insanely futile, insanely overreaching, insanely expensive, and insanely unjust "war on drugs" made him this way.
For the record, I can't stand pot. But, that is irrelevant, as it should be.

So much for the argument that pot is a harmless drug.
This will set the pot industy back 10 years....now that is funny.

I tell you what, I find this hilarious. Not least of which is the fact that this happened in their parking lot and it STILL required a 911 call for them to respond. :lol:
Honestly, if I were one of them deputies, I'd be laughing my ass off. No one got hurt and everything that was damaged is replaceable. At great cost, sure, but at the end of the day if you can't laugh at something so ridiculous then what can you laugh at?
