8. I Thought The Same Thing

Mon Dec 2, 2013, 11:05 AM

Dec 2013

Including why this firefighter is not with his newlywed on his wedding night. Obviously the firefighter was not armed so why didn't the officer use his Taser or did he and it is not written up in the story. Why would a firefighter, even a drunk one on his wedding night, physically attack an uniformed police officer. How did this ravel out of control so quickly.
