My nieghbor who used to be a very bad man, stepped off the crap sidewalk onto the gutter of a busy road and some driver reported him as stumbling into traffic.
But first a little background on him: he has since been in an auto accident that should have killed him. I've seen the xrays. There is the longest 1/4" flat head wood screw I've ever seen going completely side to side holding his pelvis together. His legs are full of rods, screws, pieces of sheet metal. His feet look like someone took that coffee can of random screws, nails, wire etc from your dad's garage and dumped it on his feet. Oh yeah, and the Huntington.
He's not capable of out running a tree or making a straight line. He's been stopped by town police and I want to say, we have a fine police force. And a lot of them know him from that, and the fact he's a powerlifter who regularly bench presses over 300# at the same gym they all go lift at.
The Constable decided my friend need arresting. Even though the three police officers thought we could let him walk with help to the 20' to hi apartment. It took a half hour of the four of us and the EMS guys before they backed off. My friend told the constable that I would take care of him (which I do because he'd be the lonliest man in town, otherwise.) and the constable told him he was "a drug addict" and Marble Falls was "just another drug addict covering for him."
Petty bullshit about nothing. The constable told me I can't complain to anyone because they answered to no one.
The constable's wrong. I do vote and as a geezer, I live to share my personal grievances.
