Thankfully, you and your family are unhurt. Sorry to see the damage to your vehicles.

As for the piece of s**t who did the damage, we all can imagine what you'd like to do to him.

72GMCburban · 11-26-2007, 08:58 AM

Holy H#ll!!!! That Sucks!!

msgross · 11-26-2007, 09:14 AM

ouch, that really sucks... atleast he didn't kill anyone. I would get a lawyer involved and be sure to blame him and the city (cop that let him go). I hate to sue but I think you have reason to be a little upset with them....

you know his insurance, if he has any, will lowball any reapirs or replacements on your cars...

pcmcobra · 11-26-2007, 09:46 AM

holy sh!T
Sorry dude, that burb was perfect.
Don't know what to say.

**too much stuff** · 11-26-2007, 09:56 AM

WOW! Don't know what else to say... Hope you come out ok insurance wise.

krue · 11-26-2007, 09:53 AM

That really sucks.

Bishops Trucks · 11-26-2007, 09:59 AM

I hope they hang him. He had a gun in his van and he was drinking. That spells big trouble. Get a lawyer, it sounds like he will be put under the jail.

**Hart_Rod** · 11-26-2007, 10:00 AM

That really stinks. Glad nobody got hurt, that was probably about the nicest original Burb I've ever seen. Hopefully justice will be served..........

**Palf70Step** · 11-26-2007, 10:20 AM

Sorry to hear/see the news. Like Rob said, hope that justice gets served.

toomanytoyz · 11-26-2007, 11:07 AM

It Really Bites that you Can't even be Safe From Riff Raff even when Sleeping ..............

Hope all Goes well for You on This

jfalesi · 11-28-2007, 12:21 PM

I'd like to hunt down that a@@hole and beat the S#!t out of him.

mvpco · 11-28-2007, 01:25 PM

Well the local TV News (Channel 3) was out today to ask questions and take pics, so we will see how it looks on the Nes tonight.

Rod · 11-28-2007, 01:39 PM

Buzzzare,

shaneschevys · 11-26-2007, 11:17 AM

Ouch!! Do they know how fast he was going? I hope all turns out well for you.

Just what I was thinking.

mvpco · 12-05-2007, 09:33 PM

UPDATE 12/3/07 3pm I spoke with the LT. from the PD and WOW!!!! They admitted the mistake and have suspended the officer for 3 weeks without pay. The board had recommended removal. the PD was able to keep him because of the Academy spoke highly of him and he being a newly sworn in officer(few months ago). The PD is sending a message to the others about this action and hopes it will be heeded. WOW!! I am glad he did not lose his job(in a way...) I know, I know, I am a whimp, but I put myself in his shoes and I would be greatful for a second chance. I hope this will make him focus about his career and 20 years from now make him say wow! I almost blew it.(sappy I know, but its Christmas).

well next step is to meet with the Risk Mgt. dept for the City and get all paid for. (I am not holding my breath, so my outlook might change from what I stated above......

I met another board member(greasemonkey) in the Grocery store parking lot, and MAN what a spotless 69 Chevy, bright orange. his daily driver. WOW! I can only dream. HeartRob would have been impressed(I think)

THANKS!!!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!

Maybe the three weeks of money the city saves from not paying the officer should go to you mvpco.

Just a thought.
