no that was in the morning lol

 

Took the bike to go and vote.
Was a bit chilly, high of 52° and felt like 50° standing still.
I stopped by the police station, they have Sgt. Kammerzell's patrol unit parked out front with a blue line flag draped across it, with flowers, and ribbons on it.





He passed away suddenly while on duty Saturday afternoon.
He was one of my instructors 2 weeks ago on the shoot or no shoot simulator.

 

That's awful Phil. I'm so sorry!

 

Thanks, only 51 yrs. old and looked physically fit.
Was one of the most friendly and genuine people I have met so far thru the Citizen's Police Acadamy.

Here he is back in 2018 when the driver of this Dakota hit a parked car and mailbox.
The homeowner came out to see what happened and the guy was smoking a crack pipe while still sitting there.
So, he went in and called the police.
When they showed up and attempted to make contact with him, he fled.
That is where the video starts.
Both officers in the video were our instructors in the shooting simulator class.
Sgt. Kammerzell is the patrol unit that "pits" the Dakota.
If you watch closely the Dakota pits himself, Sgt. Kammerzell just held his lane not letting the Dakota force him off the road into the ditch.
An if you notice the dash cam says it's lunchtime, and 1/2 mile down the road is an elementary, and H.S.

Things could have been very bad if he was allowed to get to the crosswalks of the schools.

 

God bless the Good ones that put up with those people all day long. It would crush me and make me mad at the same time. Good for you for handling it. Stay safe.

 

I'm just a retired mechanic, and a spectator.
I joined the local Citizen's Police Acadamy.
We get to learn about the ins and outs of how it all works.
I'm too old to chase anyone down and then fight them.

 

I went and gassed up Hoss because we are supposed to get snow tonight.

 

I just pulled the Mustang in.
I parked it outside today when I took the bike to vote.
Gonna be 64° tomorrow and 72° Thursday.
Then mid 40s and below freezing temps at night.

 

I got a winter squall alert on my phone this morning on my way in to work, effective in 15 minutes from now. I didn't drive Hoss, so I hope that decision doesn't come back to bite me.

 

Robby has a Frankie too...
