[yawn] Anything can and does occur when one encounters the police in Small Town Virginia (Vienna, Herndon, Falls Church, Leesburg, Manassas Park...).
Can bots develop CFS?
You're always yawning...
You bore us.

Nothing like what occurs when encountering the local police in small towns along Rt 301 between Delaware and Florida.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has for many issued ID cards to persons afflicted with balance and coordination disabilities related to MS, so they wouldn't / won't be arrested for "suspicion of public intoxication".
I wonder if he pulled the ever popular and effective "do you know who I am?" comment to the officer.
These judges think they're better than everyone else.
Suspicion? Sounds phony. Was he walking home from a bar after having a couple beers? Oh wait. This afternoon PW Animal Control broke up a fight between a grey squirrel and a black squirrel over an acorn. How did that miss the I.N. Evening News?
There's walking, then there's stumbling/disorientation.
Democrats just doing what Democrats do...break the law. Gave $1000 to Russett "Potato" Perry's campaign.
R or D - nobody is above the law.
Unless you're Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton and several other "D's". We have a 2-tiered justice system, and unless rectified, the US will start seeing states secede. When laws no longer matter, neither does the federal compact with the states.
You changed my mind. I am definitely not voting for Hunter again.
No. This is just silly.
Better than driving drunk.
You are right this time. He could have been like then high school teacher and football coach Tampon Tim Walz, who was arrested for going 96 mph in a 55 mph zone while heavily intoxicated. Since he was a pillar of the community he got off with a $200 fine, probably about $600 in today's money. Walz lied to arresting officers telling them he was deaf. I'm not sure how that is supposed to get you off the hook for speeding and drunk driving but as his wife says he speaks like a country bumpkin and probably doesn't know what deaf means.
Yes, 30 years ago this did happen. You have to go back 30 years for this, while president bone spurs is a convicted felon facing (how many now?) criminal trials. Amazing hypocrisy.
"Clap for that, Ya Stupid Bastards!"
