How much did that car cost the taxpayer?
I have and I don't consider that person good. She served less than 3 years and my relative is dead forever. Yea... nice people make bad decisions. BS! And I suppose REALLY nice people will make excuses for the nice people drunk drivers.
This kid is 27 years old and allowed to drive a county police car while off duty. WTH? What a puke to be wasting my tax dollars. This non-sense is why they have quotas that they claim don't exist. BS! One out of Five men are out of work right now but this punk kid is allowed to party in OUR patrol car.
