"The VP of the US is not an average citizen."The hell he's not.
"By the people, of the people, and for the people".
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal..."
He is an average citizen elected to SERVE the rest of the citizens, not only is he subject to the same laws we all are, but in fact he is morally charged to lead by example, and not to claim privileges above those of an average citizen.

When the Secret Service notified the police, the sheriff asked to speak to Cheney, and was told that they could at 9:00 A.M. the following day.
I would not be able to tell the police, investigating a shooting incident where I pulled the trigger, to come back when it was convenient for me...14 hours later.

"Deceptive comment."There's nothing deceptive about that comment, it was 14 hours before Cheney talked to the police.

If lawyer guy dies, Cheney will be charged with negligent homicide. Doesn't sound to me like he's been "cleared".

But like it or not....the POTUS, the VP, and many members of both houses are awarded courtesy that you and I wouldn't be.
Life isn't fair. That's just the WAY it is....

Sorry for the second post but I wasn't clear before. I know several house elapsed before Cheney spoke directly with the police but it WAS reported right away.
Somehow the article's sentence struck me as deceptive, as I explained in my initial post about this.

"The Doctor just yelled back at the reporters"
Doctors, at their hospitals, are likely to see disorderly reporters as somewhat lower than orderlies.
Can't blame 'em, either.
The Poor Lil Presstitutes were in full whine and the Doctor was having none of it.

This only proves how the news is really about about THEM - their ridiculous egos - not being told IMMEDIATELY what happened.

Uh...Cheney was already in the custody of Federal law enforcement.
To: AmishDude
They did not have jurisdiction.
Just one excuse after the next.

Twenty hours?
Let's say that you call the fire department because your house is on fire, and they show up twenty hours later.
Is "immediately" a word you would use when discussing their response time?

Was Cheney a flight risk?
If it were an ordinary citizen, the unflustered cops would have said, "Come in tomorrow morning and give us a statement."
The only reason to force the interview a "suspect" at 7pm is that they were a flight risk. And I don't see where the locals objected to this arrangement.
If they wanted to issue an APB on Cheney, the SS would be obligated to turn him in.
To: prairiebreeze
"I know several house elapsed before Cheney spoke directly with the police but it WAS reported right away."If you were involved in a shooting where you pulled the trigger, would you get to tell the police to come back fourteen hours later when you had time to talk to them because you had a dinner party to attend to, and you wanted to get a good night's sleep?
I think there was considerably more than one beer consumed, and those 14 hours were used to hide that.

For a hunting accident, absolutely. The victim was alive and coherent in the hospital. They could get a statement from him.
