Jesus Christ, are our cops completely worthless?

"Earlier in the day, police said the case had yet to be assigned to a detective. They report their records make no mention of the suspect's verbal threats, and that officers only spoke to one of the four possible witnesses."

No, but our laws are. Watch this lady get off with a reckless driving charge or a failure to remain at the scene of an accident violation. This situation just makes me feel sick! I don't enjoy biking as much as I used to because of the careless and sometimes intentionally threatening drivers not to mention the lack of consequences that drivers face. Absolute bullsh!t.

It was in the 14th and I can tell you from several personal experiences that the 14th district is not bike friendly.

This is only being followed up on because it made the news.

And on that note it needs to stay in the news.
Does anyone know how to contact Dan Heath?
It would be easy as pie to get a media focusing event to happen and a press release sent out to keep this in the public eye long enough to result in some sort of consequence.

As an aside, I find some redemption in the witnesses who were willing to get involved, bless their hearts.
That was also one saving grace of Mandy Annis' horrible trial-- there were two witnesses willing to put themselves out there for truth and justice (to little avail, unfortunately).
