My dad, who was jogging in his flourescent jogging gear, was running along the path at the same time and was stopped by a motorcycle cop who told him to “pull over”.

He then asked my dad “what are you doing”.

my dad, perplexed, replied “um..running”

The cop’s partner then came up, and told my dad he was free to leave.

My dad is 65 and white, btw. Didn’t exactly fit the perp description

Not that I can find. Really odd, you know? Reconsidering my daily bike commute along Custis.

I see a patrol car pretty regularly on 4 mile run park trail in the mornings.

There are limits to the 1st Amendment, and he might have put himself outside of that shield.

The perps will receive suspended sentences or probation after they tell the court how badly they suffered from childhood abuse. That’s the Arlington Way.

Listen to this — at the same time, just about in the same area of the Custis Trail, my cyclist husband was stopped by a motorcycle cop and prevented from traveling further. He could see behind the cop what appeared to be two very dead bodies, one with a bike helmet on, the other not — what’s up with that, and why didn’t we hear about it?

@Internet tourettes

Thank you for serving OUR Country. I am sorry you paid a high price in doing so.

One difference between Military shootings and civilian ones is the ammo. Mil uses Ball ammo, in a CCW or police pistol hollow points are used. Hollow points have been staticticly shown to be more effective at stopping a person.

So if you were a CCW (and out of the military) you would be unable to handle the situation simply because you are now a civilian?

No one is ever ready, all you can do is train and react if the time comes. Hopefully your training will get you through.

just a few days ago there was a report of an armed robbery on Nash. “IT SEEMS TO ME” that arlcyclist was making a valid point. now, if you want to get technical about how many times armed robberies have to occur for them to be categorized as frequent, then Quigley, Louise and Brad, get a damn life! lol
