Actually it wouldn't have been any big deal in life, the boys in blue are quite often just hired little thugs who are part-time armed bag-men for their masters, the organized racketeers called government.

What the hey, once in a while they get a taste of some of their own medicine, that's all. After all, they use their cruisers as battering rams all the time, especially if they're seeking a little retribution on someone they dislike.report abuse

Hey Reader...talk about getting away with murder:
I'd rather take my chances anywhere in Maine than catching a ride with Ted K. after a nite of heavy consumption. He puts the O.J. fiasco to shame.

""'You'd think walking down the sidewalk would be a safe location," Maine State Police Trooper Rogers said'"


--Sorry Maine trooper, I would never think walking down a sidewalk in Maine is safe and no Mainer should ever think that. About 4 years ago a 15 yo was mowed down and killed on a sidewalk in Corrina(or Cornitha).

Then you have about two dozen Mainers in the past decade struck while walking in crosswalks. Some killed like the Mainer up in Fairfield,Maine, NO CHARGES to the driver.

Then you have the Skowhegan man mowing his front lawn when a car went flying off the roadway and killed him.


Never think walking on a sidewalk or anywhere in Maine is a safe location. That's why Maine is called Maine.report abuse
