I Be Done See About Everything

Last week a nephew while taking his 6 year old to the neighborhood mailbox for a school assignment, a 19 year old exploded out of his house and began cursing my nephew. Said nephew being a former Army DI instructed the kid to watch his language around his child. The kid responded by taking 4 foot stick out of his car and began to swing it at the nephew who swatted him with the kids bicycle in his hand. The kids had created problems before and a neighbor ( a fireman) had installed a camera which recorded the incident.

The police filed charges on the kid and issues a warrant for Aggravated Assault which is a State Jail Felony now. This morning nephew talked to the PD to see if an arrest had been made. Here was informed...now get this...The kid was known to fight the police, so the warrant was handed off to the US marshals as they had a special team to arrest violent offenders.

I find the handing off of the warrant to the Feds simply amazing. I should think two local officers with a tazer and night sticks could make short work of this kid and give him a good instruction in the process. Times they are achanging!

US Marshalls...Good, maybe he'll resist them...

Big trouble when the locals cede power to a Federal agency though.

Pathetic. Outsource for everything these days.

I know - have a secretary call him and ask to turn himself in. Otherwise, a $1,000 finder's fee will be paid to anyone that delivers him to the station, no questions asked.

Too bad. It would give the locals a reason to break out the

It would give the locals a reason to break out the new MRAP, and cruise casually up to the perps house and knock politely on the door. Then they could break out the M16s, and anti-tank gun, plus record everything with their pretty new drones. If all else fails, a Hellfire missile would clear up the whole silly misunderstanding.

Either that, or send in Sgt Clancey and his nightstick. Whatever works.

I note just the merest wiff of sarcasm in you post...

MRAP

The local PD actually does have an MRAP. There was a picture in the paper when they got it from Uncle Sam.

Would not happen around here.....

The deputies here are almost all prior service USMC and do not hesitate to go hands on. Some will look for it.

Those that choose to fight are quickly taught some respect. Most will end up in the ER with much blunt force trauma or dog bites.
