- NEW!

A couple years ago, in my town, a cop was killed, while wildly speeding on a curvy road back road rather close to my home. The "facts", as they were, are guite confusing. Originally, he appeared to be responding to a call for an officer needing assistance. Problem is, that officer was a in another part of the county that would have been accessed more easily by closer cruisers. Then the story came out that the "call" had actually been cancelled, but perhaps his radio hadn't picked it up.
At any rate, they made this cop a freaken hero. They have a special day for him, even named the raod after him for a while. Then, built a new road somewhere else in the town and gave it his name.
Why does this really aggrivate me the most??? The road where he wrapped his cruiser around a phone pole, is the same road that my family travels to town. On the day that this "officer" decided to have a little excitement, he could have taken out any number of people-- including my own. AND THEN THEY MAKE HIM A HERO. If anyone is interested, the story can be found in the Lanmcaster Eagle Gazette, OH
