I understand those cops are attempting to do a job, but if someone can provide reasonable evidence and need to go down a public street, they need to STFU and move. They did that same shit in Lahaina, HI.
I'd discuss it with them, but in the final analyses, if its my wife and kids, I'm going through whether you want me to or not. We can discuss it later in front of the judge.
Yeah I was ready to go around if I had to. Fortunately my persistence paid off.
So that's your video? You are more patient than I would have been. I would have been polite and to the point, much like you were, but after that first cop said no, I'd have driven through and made them follow me if they wanted to.
A man is accused of killing roughly 80 farm animals during a disturbing shooting spree in rural California.
Vicente Joseph Arroyo, 39, allegedly committed the killings early Tuesday morning over the course of three hours, before being found in a crashed car on the property by police.

A miniature horse was also murdered, as the bloodbath that caused residents nearby to take shelter still remains unexplained. It did, however, end with the suspect's arrest, and multiple long rifles, shotguns and handguns, being found at the scene.
An illegal assault weapon was also seized from the weapons cache, as it was revealed Some animals survived but were later euthanized. Police in Prunedale issued a statement detailing Arroyo's arrest.

Roughly 80 animals killed, 1 arrested after Monterey County shooting spree
'The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a suspect after he began to randomly fire multiple weapons and killed approximately 80 animals during an approximate 3-hour period,' the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office said.
'On Tuesday September 3rd at about 3:25am, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office began receiving multiple calls of numerous shots being fired.
'Deputies responded to the scene and upon arrival could hear shots continuing to be fired in the area. A shelter in place order was put into effect.'
The bulletin went on to reveal how 'various calibers of weapons could be heard being fired' during the event, which began in the dead of night as families slept.
The firing of hundreds of rounds from the weapons cache followed, 'in an area that was extremely dark and covered in thick vegetation,' cops said.
'This made it difficult for deputies to immediately locate the person or persons responsible for firing the weapons.'
Because of this, assistance was requested from a Monterey County SWAT team, and a drone was deployed by the Seaside Fire Department and Gonzales Police Department, the sheriff's office said.
With use of the drone, the suspect and his crashed vehicle were observed within the property - a vineyard set along the 16000 block of Avery Lane, cops said.
The SWAT team proceeded to approach the suspect in an armored vehicle, statement said, and photos released by the sheriff's office showed Arroyo getting on his knees and surrendering.
Once the scene was secured and Arroyo was identified, the extent of the killing spree was quickly uncovered.
Arroyo had killed approximately 80 animals whose bodies littered the property, along with the assortment of rifles, shotguns, handguns, and spent magazines.
Some animals survived but were taken by SPCA to be euthanized, cops revealed - citing the 'severity of their injuries.'
Who the animals had belonged to, as of writing, remains unknown - as does Arroyo's motive and ties to the property in question.
The scene he left behind, however, left even the most seasoned investigators disgusted - even those from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals called to the horrifying scene.
This included SPCA Investigator Jacob Duarte, who told KSBW-8 he's never seen anything like this in his career.
'Once we arrived, we weren't exactly sure what we were going to see, what we're going to run into until we kind of walked into a pony that was shot to death,' Duarte recalled.
Of the other sights that followed, he conceded it was 'something I've never seen personally.
'It was, basically, stop, kind of take a breather,' the animal rescue official recalled.
'Let's kind of get a game on. Let's do our job and make sure that there is charges pressed for this individual.'
Cops called to the scene said more of the same, while neighbors to the targeted property recalled being awoken in the night to a steady stream of gunshots.
Deputies also said that Arroyo - whose mugshot has yet to be released - may have recently moved to the rural area.
It is a horrible scene,' Monterey County Sheriff's Spokesman Andy Rosas said. 'We are very fortunate that no human lives were lost, but we are estimating that almost 100 animals - different types of animals - were killed.
'We don't have any information that the suspect was looking for anyone specific, but it appears from what we see that the animals were the targets.'
He added: 'I've been doing this for 24-plus years, and, fortunately, I've never seen anything like this.'

HO--LEY FUCK. I know EXACTLY where this is, I grew up literally 1/2 mile away in the next canyon over. There were trails you could follow over the hill into the Avery lane valley. When I was in High School, sometimes I'd get off the bus at Avery lane, and walk down that road, and then up and over the hill where the neighbor kid I was walking with would give me a "bust" down to my house.
Avery lane was a dirt road when I was a kid, it was partly paved last time I was up it a few years ago. The suspect "recently moved to the area" - means he was an illegal alien. Oh, and there's no "blocks" on Avery lane!
I have that same suspicion. That, and there are probably a lot of drugs in his system, prescribed or not.
It is beyond me how people that large think it's the rest of the world's problem they are that fat and they have zero responsibility for it. What next, demand equal pricing when they have to go shop at a specialty store for clothes? How about a discount on food since they have to eat so much more than everybody else? I think my baggage identifies as plus sized so I should be able to take overweight bags on the plane too. For fucks sake.
How about the dude sitting next to him. Can he scream sexual harassment since this dude is leaning all over him?

He probably bitched because the middle seat required the armrest to be down. If you don't fit then you should buy two seats.
Imagine if the plane was entirely full of mayo tankers like that?

Imagine that guy on a Frontier flight, their hard seats do not even recline.
What amazes me is how Cyclists bitch about using a MUP with pedestrians, yet in the same breathe they expect motorists to put up with them. I say that as a sometime bicyclist myself.
Frontier's seats don't recline? Remind me to fly them next time! The 6 inch "recline" doesn't do anything whatsoever for me, and annoys the person behind me. If they got rid of those fucking overhead bins, that would be heaven.
But the seats are very uncomfortable, I tolerated it on a flight from LI to West Palm last year due to the $79 flight cost
Yep I was in Pryor (40ish miles east of Skiatook) for that one...even in town (and with city water) we were down for 8 days. All the generators were sold out until about day 4, which was too late to save the freezer full of beef I had but I still grabbed a cheap one from Oreilly's of all places - paid over the phone and was at the store when the box truck arrived, took it straight off the truck and into mine. Big enough to run the fan on the gas furnace to heat the house and do a little cooking as long as we didn't try to use the oven and the stove at the same time. Most of my neighbors had power on day 5, because one of my trees took down the line to my house. I had to take an afternoon off work to have daylight so I could fix the weatherhead before they came back to reconnect me.
