Sure they are already out attending Wrong Way Driver University so they don’t get caught next time. Hope officer will be okay. At 5:00 p.m., there should be a special circumstance because of traffic.

It’s not just themselves these two idiots put at risk. After playing smash up derby and trying to flee from the officers, they were only stopped by the fact that they were blocked in by cars stopped at the E/W red light at the intersection at Chevron. The officers drew their firearms on the turds, putting all occupants of the cars at risk of getting shot in a crossfire. I was really wishing I had a CCP. It’s no fun when a maniac drives right at you, and police are ready to shoot in your direction. I hope the R.O. writing the report takes this into consideration.
