My view of the world

I just watched 13 police cars running code down the road.
An officer called to tell someone here that he was alright and said that a man was ramming police cars and had started to hit other cars, he even tried to run over one of the sergents.
The police think the man may be mentally ill, which to my mind, makes him just like a large percentage of the other drivers on our streets, but, that’s another story.
I don’t know how it turned out or even if it’s over, but if you ever wanted to pull a major heist this looks like the perfect diversion.
The other diversion would be the imigrant protests at federal courthouse. They had to call in every available uniform, to make sure that nobody got hit by traffic and no trouble started.

It’s strange how they don’t have enough cops to handle routine traffic accidents, but they can spare 13 cars to chase one, count ‘em, one guy, who is admittedly, a danger to society at large. But, how many does it take, and who’s taking care of law enforcement, while they all get to drive really, really fast and play with the siren and the purty, flashy lights?
No better than the cops drive and no more attention than the other drivers pay, I think, that that many cars running at high speed is a much bigger threat than a nut case with a single vehicle.

Yes, I am getting less and less tolerant of the powers that be.
I think I’ll just try and hide my head in the sand and pretend that none of this is happening.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the difference in video quality, in Oblivion, between the ATI 850 xt and the x1900xtx is phenominal, but now I really need a faster hard drive, faster cpu and more memory, Ad infinitum.
