I saw this on the local news and thought that the place looked familiar..........now I know why! Edited April 19, 2014 by Joe Handley
slusher Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Looks like the car is on top of a rock. He might be in trouble over it. Maybe he was on the phone....
Joe Handley Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Not sure about the phone (good possibility though), I almost wonder if the cop took the corner too fast and either got it sideways then bounced it over the curb when it grabbed which allowed it to get high enough to get on the rock with momentum taking over from there or misjudged where the driveway is (the island more of a reverse L than an I there before you get to the drive), bounced it over the curb, with the previously mentioned altitude and momentum thing taking place. I forwarded this to a friend that I worked with there and now works for a different HTU and is a local fireman and paramedic shortly after posting this here. He texted back a couple sarcastic responses, followed by "Is that our Taco Bell?" When he recognized the building and saw the address in the article Edited April 19, 2014 by Joe Handley
charlie8575 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Must've been something funny in that taco.... Charlie Larkin
ChrisBcritter Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Just leave it there and call it art, since they took down the car needle in Berwyn...
PappyD340 Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 I bet that officer was applying makeup at the time!!
disabled modeler Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Looks like hes between a rock and a hard place...
Joe Handley Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Looks like hes between a rock and a hard place... I did find it kinda funny that their internal affairs was going to be who was investigating this. It's just too bad that HTU closed, the above mentioned friend and I could have been there to see that!
Danno Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Yeah, not too many excuses that'll work with that scenario. What? "Honest, Sarge, I was just driving by when that big rock jumped out underneath me!" Nah. That's not gonna fly.
Joe Handley Posted April 19, 2014 Author Posted April 19, 2014 Dad is wondering if there's any video from the Taco Bell or the mall to see exactly what happened.
Danny Lectro Posted April 19, 2014 Posted April 19, 2014 Dad is wondering if there's any video from the Taco Bell or the mall to see exactly what happened. If there was, I think the department will make sure there isn't anymore.
Custom Hearse Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Looks like hes between a rock and a hard place... You mean, "Looks like he's between a rock and unemployment..." Edited April 22, 2014 by Custom Hearse
Custom Hearse Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 seems to me the officer was making a run for the boulder...
