Where is Polk County?

These articles get posted and it is necessary to search to find out what part of the country it is in.

Perhaps the cops will remember this the next time a Good Samaritan stops to help a civilian being beaten.

Might be better to know the race of the Samaritans and the cycle cop. Takes a brave soul to do what they do from atop a two wheeler!

H/T to our FRiend Dawn53Fl for the post.

So at least we have one story today where people are helping their local police. Hopefully, the police remember - but this is Polk County, so the rapport is good.

9 times out of 10 that is a clear indicator of the perp's race.

Good morning.

Reporter: why did you shoot the man 67 times?
Sheriff Grady Judd: because we ran out of bullets.

LOL.

I don’t understand how polic officers who carry tasers and weapons continue to get beaten up. Use the damn things.

A good friend of mine who was a long time Atlanta auxillary officer had to help a cop once. He and his wife were driving in a rural area on their way back through NC to GA and he passed an officer who had two meth heads pulled over and was trying cuff them and the bigger druggy was getting the better of him. My friend picked up his hogleg .45 off the back seat and ran across the road and put it up to the perp’s head and told him to get on the ground or get his head blown off. That was one thankful cop.
