HAHA! Damn, dude! I'm surprised you didn't pull your piece on that fucker. :lol
Okay. The video just started off with you doing traffic direction.I got a week taken off, the board justified the use of my flashlight as a weapon. And without knowing the whole story of what occurred, your opinion is flawed. I was not directing traffic out there for 99% of the crash investigation. We had two patrol cars blocking the entire road forcing people to turn. I had no traffic control duty, i was investigating the crash, so i didn't have that equipment with me. Some people were being really dense so I figured I could get them across really quickly. So since I popped out really quick to be a nice guy. Thats when this happened. I was out there 45 min at least before this occurred. They don't give us whistles. This was a two lane road with another lane for turning. I already had a car stopped in the turn lane and the outside lane without issue. This girl came barreling down and drove right through those cars. They wrote me up for "willful neglect" for not putting my vest on before directing traffic. I still don't know how my actions were "willful." I never said "i thought about putting my vest on, but decided against it." I simply acted to help a motorist. This was a new Sheriff and from what I heard from the appeals board, they didnt want to totally buck the new sheriff, so i still got a week off.
:clappy You Nolan Ryan'd that shit lol :lol2:lol2
It was a 16 year old girl with the music loud in her car and she was texting, nothing would have helped.Okay. The video just started off with you doing traffic direction.
I can see how they could bone you on the willful neglect just going by SOP/agency rules/training.
I would advocate for whistles for officer safety during traffic direction. That's just me. It would get attention sooner than a thrown flashlight.
Yes, side stepping to get out of the way of a moving car is a good idea. It happens a lot. Getting run over would not necessarily prevent that vehicle from causing another accident that a cop would be trying to stop....So basically you should of stepped to the side and let her get on with it?...
No one likes to see a grown man sob, bet you were doing that out of breath talking thing like kid's when they are upset, so he let you off :lolgot pulled over a few weeks back...
tail lights were out...middle of the night..

"hey man, im not dps, u gotta take it up with them"
he says.."i can do a few things...cite u, arrest you, or both.."
then he says..."but this is what im a do..none of that..get your stuff straight, im giving you a break."
him and the other patrol car rolled off before i did..
you sit when you pee.No one likes to see a grown man sob, bet you were doing that out of breath talking thing like kid's when they are upset, so he let you off :lol

no, it didnt occur to me at the time. however, i have gotten bigger. and im sure he was slightly intimidated and most likely didnt want to cuff me and test the cuffs ability to detain me.did you flex for the cop and ask him what he would think if you guys had static?
Rules? If you are sloshed, you probably wouldn't remember what to do.Okay...I've been on a five day "binge"...(vacation), buy some eats, trip and fall, no big deal, to me...major "deal" to the manager.
Freakin' five cop cars! I was motherfucking TOAST! :lol
COPS were cool as shit; I love these guys! :lol Called me a taxi and got my cash from my car....They kept asking about drug use...no...I can't use any when I'm on alcohol! :lol
You dudes are like fucking gravy! :lol
EDIT: Thank you for no cuffs!
EDIT2: Got my car back today, no problems. I hate vacations. :lol More work for me! Are there any rules in a situation like this? I had the keys on me, but I parked in east bumble, nowhere near the car when they arrived. Paramedics were there, too, because I skinned up my knees. Waste of taxpayer money, IMO, but I learned a good lesson...don't trip and fall: the manager will freak and say: OMG! Lawsuit! Call the popo!
