I assure you, Sheriff, that was intended only as humor. I apologize for the offense. Anytime you want to get together, let me know. Send me an email, whydoncha, and tell me, first off, where you're located. Depending on where you are, it may be easier or more difficult to meet up. But I'd be happy to do it.
OK. Thanks. I thought maybe I had made you mad with my opinion on guilt in the Culpeper case. It's hard to decipher the true intent of a lot of remarks here in this forum, there's just no published list of emoticons to use and place beside said remarks here.
I had lunch with a very prominent and high ranking law enforcement official last week, and he shares the same opinion that most of us in my area do.... that the cop stepped over the line and exceeded his authority once he was free from the vehicle but continued to shoot anyway. While many, including myself, do not advocate endangering the public with a high speed pursuit in this case, we all feel his only choice was to get in his car, call for backup, and follow the woman. It has been a rude awakening to me to see that I haven't found one sworn officer who feels the officer was right in what he did.
It's no secret, I am in Charlottesville. I can take you to our now infamous bagel shoppe when you pass through this area one day. :lol:
I will probably also have occasion to meet you in Culpeper too. I plan on attending some of the defense evidence in the case at least.
(I still believe the cop went into video game mode once the sheet hit the fan in Culpeper. It's a new phenomenon with very little research done to date. The cop is in the age range of the kids who grew up playing these violent shoot'em'up video games.)
