DO NOT SPEED IN COLUMBUS!!!

This is what happens when you speed in Columbus!

OK OK - maybe it was not speeding:

From the Police Department


On Saturday, September 8th, 2012, at about 9:53AM an officer from the Columbus Police Department was investigating a burglary complaint when a person entered the business acting suspiciously. The officer initiated contact with this person and subsequently, the officer and the person walked to a residence located at 142 E. James St. (what is this "and subsequently" stuff?)

While the officer continued his interview, the person he was interviewing fled from the residence on foot (I assume the interview stopped at this point).

 The officer gave chase on foot and a brief struggle ensued. During the struggle, the officer fell to the ground and suffered an injury to his shoulder. The suspect was able to get away from the injured officer and fled back into his residence at 142 E. James St. (yea - seems like a SMART thing to do - run back home). 

Additional officers responded to the scene. Because of the suspect’s actions, it was believed that he might have access to a weapon. Information was also obtained that there was another person located within the residence. Law enforcement personnel initiated a tactical operation to contain the residence and to attempt to make contact with the suspect. Eventually, both the male suspect and a female resident exited the building and were taken into custody without further incident. 

The 21 year old male suspect is being questioned by our department regarding this incident. Felony charges of Resisting 

That is awesome, well done Police Department. Seriously, I'm not kidding now.  Yea - I make fun sometimes but I have all the respect in the world for anybody willing for put their life on the line for citizens!  They did a great job and I applaud them.

Thank you.

BTW - did you know that you can now watch all of the Columbus council meetings online?  Go to Columbus Wisconsin Cable Media.   Is Bob Roberts now in charge of the CDA?

Just heard a quote from Romney.  Interviewer "Can you give me specifics on how you will fix the economy?"  Romney "The specifics are the heart of what I'm going to do as President".  and then he went on to complain about Obama.

sigh

Of course Republicans are against ALL tax increases, they have signed oafs* to never ever raise taxes.  And then there is Obama who with only 16 days in office went against the GOP and raised taxes on Cigarets (Republicans wanted to lower taxes) to help pay for Obama-care once it became law.  What did raising the cig tax do? Well, it raised 30 BILLION dollars and restarted the decline in smoking (which had been rising in the Bush era). Teen smoking immediately fell 10%.

Yea - raising taxes is so so bad!!

I DO believe that lowering taxes would stimulate the economy . . . .but not only for the wealthy so the poor and middle class would have to pay more.  Walker has already raised taxes on the poor to feed the wealthy - ask my buddy Elwood.  He is paying almost 10% more taxes this year and he is 300% below poverty level. THANK YOU GOVERNOR Walker. 
 
* yes - I did that on porpoise.
