The bus was large and threatening. It just stayed there instead of retreating as the police officer got closer. Obvious justification: The police officer was in fear for his life. The police will conduct an investigation and determine that they were not at fault... of course. This is the 5th time this has happened in El Paso in recent years.


It happened about 7:45 a.m. in front on Schuster Elementary School.

Think about that... the cop was speeding and driving recklessly in a school zone.

Hit a school bus.

Wasn't self respecting enough to resign for gross professional negligence and a discredit to law enforcement professionals everywhere

There were no children in the bus and the officer was not injured, police said.

Officer Kevin Mckinney, a seven-year veterean of the force, was cited for driver inattention.

Or the kids were too slow getting off the bus. The officer gently lifted the left rear corner of the bus so the kids could flow out the right front corner more quickly!

greed cameras... have zero tolerance, and no margin for error factor. But they are money makers for the govt


Why a margin for error factor? Because the variation in the tire pressure from hot summer to winter cold snap (I've seen 100 degree difference in 1 day) can change the speedometer reading to actual speed over ground by 10%.

A cop won't bother pulling over anyone for just 2 kph, or mph, because they are instructed to stop people speeding in the higher fine brackets. Like 10 to 15 mph over, when the fine doubles.

during the “Eyes on 94” crash reduction effort from Dec. 7-11 was cops focusing on trucking

More than 450 truck drivers were ticketed on the I-94 corridor over a stretch of five days. Michigan State Police motor carrier officers conducted a total of 542 commercial driver inspections, MSP officers issued 455 citations and 455 warnings.  Officers in Indiana and Ohio issued an additional 471 citations and 1,618 warnings.

According to a release from MSP, officers focused on violations by truck drivers which would most likely contribute to a crash including speeding, following too closely, improper passing, distracted driving and improper lane use.

The multi-state initiative also involved officers from the Indiana State Police on I-94 and the Ohio Highway Patrol on I-80 and other major freeways.

well then, Jake brakes it is! When you don't know shit, but make laws anyway, you oughta suffer public humiliation for your behavior

Lawmaker to state troopers: 'silly for a state rep to get a ticket' (Representative Cecil Brockman (D-Guilford) on November 30 for failing to wear his seat belt)


“[He’s saying] he’s a state representative from this area and he doesn’t appreciate the way he’s been talked to and treated,” the second trooper responded.

According to the conversation between the two troopers, Brockman also questioned why it took three officers to conduct the traffic stop.

“Well, he wouldn’t stop,” Allred said. “That’s what I told him. Whenever someone doesn’t stop, we’re going to be out here checking on each other. It’s about officer safety,” the second trooper responded.

When Allred finally returned to the car with a citation for the seatbelt violation, Brockman made it clear he was displeased.
