I have posted here a number of times about all the police cars crashing into other cars and often killing someone. I do not post about all those crashes or that is all that would be in ShowMeBlog. Keep in mind I am not talking about nation wide I am talking about local. I follow the Miami herald on Twitter and they reported another police-involved crash – see story Miami Herald. Read the story but … it was three undercover officers in an unmarked Dodge Charger…The impact ejected the two occupants of the other car (Toyota)…Police said the Toyota was at fault for “violating the right of way”…Witnesses said the police officer was speeding…The police had no lights on…etc.
I will not yell and scream… I did that the last time I posted on this subject. Something needs to be done and right now. Of course this one needs to be looked into and monitored to see if justice is done.
I think there have been so many of these accidents that people need to be fired and a lot of them.. starting with the chief of police all the way down to the guy driving the car.. all the supervisors in between…the training officers that passed on the officers driving course at the police academy… Any officer that has driving problems reported needs to be written up and needs to get re-training and need to always be in a car that has device that will record everything about the car and driver. Miles driven, speed, if lights or siren is on and all the other details. The best thing would be if it was a GPS unit that sent the data back to dispatch in real time. If an unit shows up on the screen going x number of mph over the speed limit it should alarm on the screen and a dispatch supervisor should pull it up on the screen…call the officer and see what is going on…inform his street supervisor etc.
No kidding …this is crazy… They need to put a stop to this… If you visit the Miami area … watch out for all drivers most of all police!
“The Republican National Committee doesn't want to hear from people who are upset over its thuggish tactics at Town Hall meetings. The DNC launched an ad, Enough of the Mob, which asked people to call the RNC. Heard from readers, Tim Beauchamp and ShirleyGoodnessandMercy, that the RNC is dumping those who call about the ad. Tim writes:
If you call the number listed in the ad: 202-863-8500 the message suggests "Please press 1 if you are calling in response to DNC ad" and then you are eventually dismissed or hung up on. Callers need to call and press option "2" to keep from being dismissed.
So, if you're calling, press 2. I've also heard the RNC is trying to send those call back to the DNC. Bottom line: No one from the RNC wants to explain their position. Can you blame them? They've chosen to side with the insurance companies over patients and doctors. And, their whole strategy seems to be one of intimidation. That's all they've got at the RNC.”

Here is a pretty neat service. It is a time line. Check it out.
I should have known where the crazy story about the Cars for Clunkers being a government plot to take over your computer and your entire life came from… How could I have not known. There is only one person that crazy and it is Glenn Beck again.
I wrote here before about how he is a total mental subject. Fox “news” needs to take him off the air. I am not saying fire the guy and make him and his family homeless. I am saying they should pay him when he is in the mental hospital and when he gets out and takes his medication they could put him back on the air. He is going to hurt someone or he is going to hurt himself.
No one should even have to tell you that his crazy story is wrong wrong and just plain nuts. He lies first off …the log on screen is NOT on the login page for you and I. He is talking about a log on screen for DEALERS, not even on cars.gov, that is for DEALERS intending to enter into a government financial system. The log in screen he is talking about is at: supplierpayments.esc.gov
Now the wording of the warning is a bit strong but they are attempting to keep people from stealing money out of your pocket and my pocket.
Here is the entire wording of the warning and keep in mind you and I can not log into the site. It requires a number name and password.

We all are used to this type of wording. It is the sort of statements you have to sign when you do business with the government. They try and scare the hell out of you and make sure they got all their ass covered so if you do something wrong they can come back and nail your ass and you can not say in court but it did not say this or that. It is sort of the same type of crap you have to “Agree to” when you buy a DVD or CD or a program except it is from a private company and we all just break the seal and agree to their stupid terms.
