Well, it looks like the guy is trying to force his suburban through the checkpoint. If I'm wrong, feel free to berate.
But if that is the case, can you blame the officer? He's just trying to protect himself at that point

A person is smart, people are dumb. I hate to see this stuff. When tragedy strikes, you get looters, mobs, etc.

I heard on the TV that some residents were planning to storm the checkpoints to get to their houses. Anybody else here that or know of anything happening?

I believe I see the faint appearance of a 'stach on that guy too. He is definitely auditioning for Cops.

That is just plain stupid. Police are there to protect. Grab photos or anything that cant be replace and then get the heck out. Everything else is just a thing. Safety is a huge issue in these events. You never know who might be lurking in your house when you return to it.

I am sure there the people are under a lot of stress and it would suck to be in their shoes. How is the cop suppose to know the true intentions of the person. It will not help things to get upset and rush a checkpoint though. I dont side with cops often but I am sure in these cases they are looking out for what is best for the people.

On the outside looking in, it sounds absurd to do that. However, if you put yourself in their shoes and all of your personal belongings were set to be destroyed, wouldn't you feel the same?  |
Chizik: "One thing that I’d encourage our fans… I want them to be the loudest stadium in the Big 12. I don’t care… I want Jack Trice stadium to be the loudest in the Big 12 and I think that creates homefield advantage.... I want to stress to everyone…I want this place to be juiced up. They bought 36,000 season tickets so there is a passion there…don’t hide it… let it out. I want there to be a passion in the stadium."

A city worker (or maybe it was Alliant or MidAmerican worker) fell through an open manhole either earlier today or yesterday in CR. The water's too muddy to walk safely in it.

But if that is the case, can you blame the office? He's just trying to protect himself at that point Can't blame him one bit. It's simply an illustration that things in CR are rather ugly.

Another day or two isn't going to impact any material goods. Safety and health issues have to be the priority.

I don't disagree with you. However, it's rather easy for those of us that are high-and-dry to say those things.

They're also saying that they found gas leaks in those areas as well, which is why people aren't allowed back in.

Oh... people will come Mr. Pollard. People will most definitely come.
No, I don't live in Seattle anymore, I'm back in Des Moines but I don't feel like changing my username.
