I had just left the Rocky Mount store and headed north on 95 to the Roanoke Rapids store around 2:40 or so. I had cops passing me on both sides, including the shoulder; at least 10 cars. Around the 155/156 mile marker, there were at least 30 cop cars parked on the side of the road southbound. Almost all of them had on vests and were carrying rifles. More cops were back in a field. Around the 172/171 were cops stopping each vehicle and searching. Traffic was backed up to the 173 in RR by the time I got there (my exit).

Coming back, 173 on ramp was closed and they were shutting down southbound. I took the back road to 301. There about where the sign is for the Halifax Academy, was another roadblock. My truck has a camper shell on the back, with the only a little window on the back door and no side windows. I knew I was gonna get searched. Sure enough, they searched my truck.

I hope they catch them tonight. I can't imagine living in the area; I'd be locked and loaded.

Story time. Just a week or two ago I walked home from my friends house because I was pretty drunk. About a two miles, took about 30 min to walk it. I was on my street walking up the hill to my house and two cops pull up behind me. He checked my ID and asked why I was here and told him I was walking home and asked him for a ride the rest of the way. He responded "No, I only take people to jail." To protect and serve, right?

I have sympathy for the man who got shot, and his family. But as for his line of work? Couldn't care less.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By frankw · Posted

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.

      Uhh, okay yes that happened. I didn’t like the pick either I am a 3rd or later RB guy. Always. Actually hated the CMC pick too. Hated the Stewart pick.  No one wants to talk about trading the #39 in that draft and what he did with that.  Got #52, #155, and the Rams 2025 2nd to boot.   The 52 and 155 plus our 142 5th rounder to go up for a Brooks Everyone wants to forget about the 2025 2nd for that Rams trade  which was used to move up for Scourton.  That Rams trade down was a great deal for us.
