The idiot must be you. If she can't handle the heat she should not be in the kitchen. I've had three potentially life-threatening incidents almost happen in my lfe that left me shaken - I didn't cry at the time and certainly not two years later. I was thankful I survived and calmed down within a reasonably short time. Perhaps I'm stronger than this female cop.
My point is this - If nobody was harmed in this near miss (an nobody was) it should only leave you shaken after being frightened - if you cry about a near miss 2 years later do you really belong on a police force which is supposed to protect the public? I think she'd run before protecting/rescuing someone in danger. I'm not a fan of insensitive people as yourself. Who are you to speak of this police woman's demeanor & emotion toward another human being & having to retell a horrifying story of the night's events. You need to reread the article. Another teen's life WAS lost, and others were injured. What if her recollection of the events include ...if only I had allowed this druggie to hit ME & my partner in the squad car, the other teen's life would have been saved?! A split second reaction was made that changed many lives forever...because of someone trying to repay a drug debt. Don't misplace the blame on this cop for actually having & showing emotion!

Well Mr. Citizen, I guess you have figured me out. I seem to fit neatly into the category you place me in. I'm stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified, grouped, and always typical. I'm the "lousy" cop.
Unfortunately, the reverse isn't true. I can never figure you out.
From birth you teach your children that I am a person to be wary of...and then you're shocked when they identify me with my traditional enemy, the criminal.
You accuse me of coddling juvenile criminals, until I catch your kid doing something.
You may take an hour for lunch and several coffee breaks each day, but point me out as a loafer if you see me having just one cup.
You pride yourself on your polished manners, but think nothing of interrupting my meals with your troubles.
You raise hell about the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you.
You know all the traffic laws, but never got one ticket you deserved.
You shout "Foul!" if you observe me driving fast enroute to an emergency call, but literally raise hell if I take more than ten seconds responding to your call.
You call it "part of my job" if someone strikes me. But its "police brutality" if I strike back.
You wouldn't think of telling your dentist how to pull a badly decayed tooth, or your doctor how to take out your appendix, but you are always willing to give me pointers on law enforcement.
You talk to me in a manner and use language that would assure a bloody nose from anyone else, but you expect me to stand there and take it without batting an eye.
You cry, "Something has to be done about all the crime!" but you can't be bothered with getting involved.
You've got no use for me at all, but, of course, it's OK if I change a tire for your wife, deliver your baby in the back seat of my patrol car on the way to the hospital, save your son's life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, or work many hours overtime to find your lost daughter.
So, Dear Citizen, you stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my job, calling me every name in the book, but never stop a minute to think that your property, your family, or maybe your life might depend on one thing - me, or one of my buddies.
Yes, me, the lousy cop. wow...very well done hats off to you

I don't believe it - if by some chance she's still scared from 2 years ago then they better get her off the force - she's useless. Last Straw, I feel your response was a cold blooded and ignorant. I hope the criminal gets life, the officer finds peace, and you get everything you've got coming to you. I can't help but wonder how "useless" you are in your job. Also if someone died by your actions (or lack thereof), how heartless you'd be then. There's a thing called "being human". Go to the library and research it.

Nope, the idiot is you. A person did die, a person was severely injured. Once again, it wasn't the near miss she was upset by, it was the death that followed. Re-read the article - nobody was injured when the cop pulled up over the curb - and that is what I was specifically posting to. Get a brain.

Mr. Citizen, Sir, I'm the lousy cop you've been talking about.
Mr. Citizen, Sir, your courts let felons go free and you blame me! And then you buy books by the pampered predators and their sleazy lawyers - whose side are you on , Sir?
You accuse me of coddling criminals, until it's your kid I catch.
You raise Hell with the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and you threaten to sue!
Whose side are you on, Sir?
When some career crook, twice my size, curses me, spits on me, dares me to stop him, you say, that's part of my job. If I do what I have to to arrest him, you call it brutality!
Oh! It's OK with you if I fix a flat tire for your wife or give her enough gas to get home on a dark night or deliver your baby in the backseat of my cruiser or work hours overtime looking for your runaway daughter.
But, if I stop for a cup of coffee, I'm a goof-off at taxpayer expense.
"Do something about crime you demand!" And yet if a rapist runs, you tell me, "don't shoot - he's too young!" And if I shoot anyway, I'm suspended without pay pending a probe that may cost me my badge, pension, home and maybe, you'll demand that I be jailed. Sir, whose side are you on?
It's the wife who phones in the family fight and yet, when I get in the middle, she's on his side. I'm expected with my academy education to make life and death decisions IN SECONDS that courts take weeks to decide. If I'm right, I'm lucky; if I'm wrong, I'm dead.
I spend sleepless nights on a dry run stakeout, wasted days on redundant paperwork, tedious hours tracing long shot leads to a dead end, and yet, the only time you see me is when you're driving too fast. And then, if I smile, I'm a flirt, and if I don't, I'm a pig. In a chase, my tired Ford is outrun by some crummy junkie's suped-up Mercedes. In the alley I'm outgunned; in the revolving door court room my hand out lawyers are no match for the ones felons can afford. Any one cop on the take splatters his guilt all over the rest of us because, apparently, you want to believe the worst of us.
Mr. Citizen, Sir, do you want to trade jobs? AWESOME post! Thank you, dear Police men & women for being there every day for "Joe Public"! Please know you ARE appreciated!

I don't need to re-read the article YOU DO - and perhaps you should READ what I wrote - NOBODY was hurt when she drove up over the curb - THEY DID NOT COLLIDE! SHE WAS GOING THE OPPOSITE WAY from the truck. I spoke specifically to this point. I don't give a whit what you think of me - and I'm sure you don't care if I recognize you as the moron you are since you can comprehend the content of a post. If you want to make an assumption that someone is insensitive - so be it. You're still not getting the point. Crying on the stand two years after the fact jumps out as phoney baloney.

Oh, you mean the part where her & another officer potentially just saved the lives of 2 bike riders by getting them out of the path of the speeding UHaul...and BEFORE the teenager was killed by the druggie? Please work on your reading comprehension to get the gist of the entire article.

There's a thing called "being human". Go to the library and research it. There seems to be a lack of brains and therefore a lack of intelligence on this thread. Is comprehension that difficult for you. I do not buy into a cop crying two years after an incident that didn't happen to her and I'm heartless. Ask a criminal lawyer what their opinion is when these episodes are staged when someone is testifying. There is nothing posted by me indicating I think it is ok that people died. But I do not need to defend myself from wackos like you. Go cry a river.

Can anyone explain why the U-Haul people actually rented a van to someone who was as cross-eyed as this guy is? It is not as if this condition is hard to see in this guy.

Please work on your reading comprehension to get the gist of the entire article. The **** word that was deleted is Mo.ron and it stands. Either you're dense or do not want to admit you can't read and absorb the content of my original post that you decided to respond to. I specifically addressed the cry baby cop veering off to the curb. That is what shook her up (in the verbiage of the article). Attack all you want - I have NO reason to defend my opinion to you. It is really difficult to explain anything to an ignoramus like you. I told my group about responses to the cop crying on the stand - NOT ONE lawyer disagreed with the assessment of the fake crying - all for show. Continue being an id.iot for the rest of your life - people will make a lot of money off you.

Your comment was ignorant at best.
