So you’re speeding down the highway. Behind you, you see flashing lights. Ah crap. Here comes a ticket. So, you need to pull over. But you’re on a bridge and there isn’t a lot of space on the side. So, you slow down, move to the right and put your hazard lights on. The plan is simple: take the next exit or area with a good area to pull over safely. Simple, right?
So, if the cop behind you is a fucking idiot, maybe not. You were looking out for the police officer’s safety. They decided that 30 seconds was all you get to come to a complete stop and decided to do a pit maneuver on you. A mile down the road? Oh, a nice wide shoulder where a stop could be conducted safely.
This officer doesn’t know that you’re pregnant. Doesn’t know if you’re having a medical emergency. Doesn’t know if you have kids or animals in the car. They just say fuck it, I’m crashing this car because I’m a fucking cop and they’re not responding fast enough.
So they did a pit move on the van. badly. Because if they did it properly, they would push through the move, and the car would be controlled as it spun. No, he tapped the rear end, then let van flip swerve into other lanes of traffic, hit the jersey barrier and flip over.
All because he’s a horrible cop.
So, a pregnant woman was involved in a out of control car accident on a highway, her van flipped over and was totaled, and she was luckily not injured. All because she waited for someplace to pull over.
Incidentally, from the Arkansas state web site I give you… what to do if you’re stopped by law enforcement:
Pull over to the right side of the road – activate your turn signal or emergency
flashers to indicate to the officer that you are seeking a safe place to stop.If you are unsure if you are being stopped by an actual police officer, activate
your turn signal or emergency flashers and pull to the nearest well-lit location, or
dial 9-1-1 and request confirmation that an actual police officer is attempting to
stop you.Pull to the nearest/safest spot out of the traffic lane (Do not stop on bridges or
overpasses).
So yeah. Rodney Dunn is the name of the monkey dung cop involed. I personally want to welcome Rodney Dunn to FU MO FO. You sir are a wretch waste of a cop who deserves to be fired, and charged with attempted vehicular manslaughter. Maybe two counts. Arkansas has some interesting ideas about the life status of fetuses, doesn’t it?
Either way, cops like you are why I’m more and more convinced that there isn’t a single worthwhile person wearing a badge in the entire country. If they’re not bent, corrupt, racist, thuggish or flat out evil, they’re like Rodney Dunn. Grossly incompetent.
