I always wanted to say that first.

IBTL - I was second!

We shouldn't rush to judgement...let's wait until the video and facts from the independent investigation come out.

+1... If true, the 'facts' if they are facts, seem to indicate that the people have lost a motorboat. I'm not sure what to make of that. Times being what they are, we'll just have to wait and see.

What was the boat doing prior to its destruction? Did it stop when ordered? Was it properly identified? Perhaps its destruction was justified? Maybe a post mortem by the State Boat Repairman will shed some light on exactly what happened.

Well, yeah, obviously. There are unknown unknowables. In this situation as in any.It's the unknowable unknowns that we have to worry about . Those are the things we may never know about.

 

[Grindstone]

If the boat had just complied, none of this would've happened.

 

[ignerntbend]

The boat was mindlessly going wherever the trooper was going. Listen up boats: personal responsibility. Don't be a follower.

Time to dust off the resume and get the copier warmed up.

Sad. Glad nobody is dead. If this is accurate, a nice career (and a job I would have killed for at one time) have most likely been lost.

Our society has a huge drug problem, and the worst one is alcohol. Nobody is exempt from the risk. I hope this man gets the help he apparently needs. The fact that he is OHP makes it a titillating news story, but there's a real person there who is at great risk.
