    BobbyinLC,
    I chuckled on the bat joke.
    on spitting on the rolled up window-maybe the person needed to be taken out of service for sanitation purposes (shower)
    on the meth on your person-do people on meth always think about those type of things?

  2. BobbyinLC says:

    Wow where to start?
    First story: Why isn’t there an animal cruelty charge? he was using a bat? Nothing? Not even a smile? Okay I know it was the baseball kind.

    So if there was any doubt as to the man’s demeanor who had clenched fists and was verbally abusive….he showed the CPD. He spit all over the inside of the closed window. You have to wonder how much came back on him.

    Finally,
    you know you have outstanding warrants but yet you have to be sure you are carrying your meth and pipe when you are approached by the police. You have to figure you will be caught sometime on the warrants. It is a small county.

    What would happen if there were no police ? Probably the same things but we wouldn’t be bankrupt as a country. Leaches and the anarchists who support them. Drugs are your big excuse when your biggest customer is law enforcement. We spend more money sending these jerks to rehab and adding jr police to the ranks then these junkies will ever produce in their lifetimes. Do the math paranoid fearfuls.

  4. GuiltyBystander says:

    Rubbing them together? I would think “trying to SPARK fights with several people…”

  5. Free Air says:

    “Centralia police arrested a 42-year-old homeless man yesterday evening for allegedly trying to start fights with several people…”
