stole my own talk a bit on Boston's closer to -- should take.

Coaches do a good -- at all today good intro Wal-Mart create good morning jumble. Pretty cool Thursday morning this week his racing by its intended you don't want you Bill Clinton introduction nobody. Hasten this we've started to dramatically having them like you oh yeah you had those -- northbound accident struggle. All three layers of clothes just.

Looks like your normal light out there all right. This -- no I'm not. Just wanna get this story do you what do you hear that clarity just put down another seconds ago there was a clip in this in the intro there -- somebody yelling I and I believe. If I'm correct that that is actual sound of your office doing constituent services when you're -- around. Let's play that again let's go back to the glory days -- we horror. We actually -- of the news cycle is who we did an hour yesterday. Part that though most people listening right now would probably not hear from eight to nine -- about police officers was an unbelievable and it was a great hour talking about -- has a little bit of a latent hostility towards authority figures I think a bit at least towards police are.

A source -- specifically state troopers who think they want the world within an outlaw within one hour of relieving the studio Yuxi ours Carrie I've been carrying messages. For mercy formulate your browse the head of the state police union from about six -- police deported they say they're just doing -- that -- he said yesterday the head hit that he would -- I couldn't find anything distasteful sort of -- straight -- and tell her don't tell. The apple until you get out of here Carlo coaxed. Messages I would like to do a Freedom of Information Act requests have have to see what kind of inquiries into -- season a record. Have been made over -- the article I was I would usually do that -- anyway. -- repressions is at the word yes that would be rejected out of view.

Sure because today there are so wonderful police officer story that I I hate to tell you and your friends in the union territory seems to feed in -- Cook seas hostility towards police officers and a we explain this has to do -- police officer. A using apparently inappropriate -- they handicap parking space but that's not really the big part of the story just like with a Richard Nixon. It wasn't about the crime so much it was about the cover to cover up via the same kind of thing gone on here thus. We consider the sound from this sentiment.

These pictures show his cruiser parked in handy -- spot while he places his order inside it is I don't know hasn't rained down there are almost done good brilliant again. Harald wolf snap some pictures pulled out this recorder and asked trooper brown why he was breaking the law.

In all I want to do was ask him his name he went berserk --

The -- away from me for being. Let me give you -- waiting for -- the assurance -- the silicon -- the -- for -- personally -- this day.

Who know -- well it's still below -- They got to see there's the guy we quarries it'll whale channel and oxygen tank. The good guy not a not a good visual for the Jameel Cook hook -- but I thought I did snagged. -- the conclusion -- you record -- sounds officer brown sounds like he's shown a great deal restraint there he doesn't sound that upset.

Make your -- way for me your email. -- mean yeah you can always -- the -- for disorderly conduct.

So let's get this straight -- man in a wheelchair how old are we talking here -- He'll play is an -- fifty is okay guy in his fifties in a wheelchair. Says two police officer excuse me sir are. You're -- is that might handicaps but and the officer responds with a threat to arrest. Yeah me. The handicapped. But but let's be fair to the officer. We know that these handicap space suitors wasted space and never get used by anyone handicap I'd never actually seen. A car where the handicap played or placard in and handicapped space have you ever used to and use one now because there's a big find for I would.

Well speaking of using one mr. Todd Leo rorschach usually goes out does -- recordings for ya ya. He has an interesting story about how he uses. Handicapped by a parking spot -- really away and he is not ashamed of are we gonna get a live report right now while this is unbelievable toward Shaq on the radio ladies and toward I don't.

On the radio that they -- Now yeah you -- are you gonna write up this hidden disclosure that's area a judge yeah -- time where are your posture go to Tulsa that's gonna tell us about a handicap spaces in your utilization of the list this was this is this is -- while -- years -- years ago that's not enough we can't be that many years ago -- statue limitations overhead I don't.

I thought I was I was an Arlington in my dad's house member a friend and we went to pick we ordered pizza I want to pick it up there. And in front of the pizza places space -- handicap but whenever he might my friends in the currents can upload for a second. So all our club Cornelius.

A lot of what as I've got -- are you and I -- okay no I got started that I don't -- animation even me I'm an amateur and regular audio and I notice out.

So I -- into the space and I even leave like the flashes on in the kayak that certain. Yeah it. -- as I'm getting -- I'm going in this old guy in it. With a cane walking -- you can't park there let's handicap an anomaly blonde I'm just going over for -- skin with pizzas it's gonna be like. Thirty seconds so worried that there's someone wants -- and I'll be out by then my friendly try to move the car and a -- but does he didn't have and he was -- you have to move the car right now. Going to call the police I was like. Whenever sites went and got beat that left yup I mean it's likely thirty seconds now you. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha you think that's appropriate that we would. Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with -- no one dread getting the states how about the fact that it's illegal. Well -- outside. -- Classes exact that's. That's the fact that doesn't carry out a -- a very healthy little little lady who's in a week who's in a wheelchair division -- there was this a regular practice of your son is handicapped wonders the on the only time averaged just once in lifetime. I want if it works so well like check time how -- and I got yelled at the onetime I don't wanna do it again token.

That's politics and I imagine it was a copy on -- yeah usually can't. That could change things all right. You can take the -- that they are -- thank you think reporter under god to send us senator for some on the radio -- real elaborate he wasn't trembling are unbelievable -- that was pretty cool yeah so here we have a drop there's a lot of issues here. Anybody think there's anything wrong with a police officer using handicap space now I personally think he's trying to be efficient. Doesn't want to waste any of the taxpayers' money I'm sure that's what was on his mind he doesn't wanna waste our money he's using handicap space -- come down on the.

He can't he can't do -- why you count toward the because. The able bodied I have this discussion that's not a night -- but I of this discussion with dollar all the time Donna and I would never use a handicap space. But -- waste a lot of time trying to find who the nearest -- space to do instead of doing what you and I do and take the first available space and as far away as possible from the front door Seattle at some point. Hopefully forty years from now will probably have difficulty without mobility. But now one way young and healthy let's just enjoy the walk and not try to squeeze in an -- Wait for somebody to pull out all the rest to stop you know or confront it's a hundred he had walked to fifty have -- OK that's yeah we're lucky enough to be healthy. And the same thing with the Dunkin' Donuts stuffy either circle the block Korea parked two blocks away. And you -- I -- again a troop we talked a little bit about their fitness yesterday Chris cooks who was commenting on their caloric yes you know.

All that we were talking about police officers in general -- tending to be fat -- And he said especially state troopers I disagree I guess -- reserve -- every emphatic.

I don't think state troopers of fact I just take their arrogant. And -- they run the world that is the broadest rush. Hour criticism that it could get all of our media -- adds -- evidence a collision there is absolutely current a couple of he says dedicating Katmandu who -- the car giving handicaps but. They're as bad -- is occupying that is true.

Her brown although let's keep in mind he wants and that's urgent business he was a Dunkin' Donuts. The highest level of responsibility for a Koppel. He was there are probably not just to get yourself a copy may be for the whole what -- barracks how many people and in image during an early morning shift you have a immature no matter what you call these things. What's the terminology what it -- wanted to. -- stop all the way to buy today you can just pull it is there were notified you know there's now and radio -- I go by twenty miles an hour surprise ever arrested you for dry consoles I'm currently not opt out. Hi I've put on my flashes and -- ha ha -- I. Kevin daredevil York Leo good morning.

every country saying -- generally don't talk about it given your every -- silent cloths on and off Kevin's on the bottom here and give me oh really really nice have a husband Kevin go ahead.

But some question -- giving you guys pearl sweet blood and everything he's saying the problem this. Me yeah I I love cooking the piece is but he dumb enough to be saying you know -- limited. On the way and -- the morning driving to work I got a state trooper in the speedway and doing like 110 miles and no doubt drink so fast that I can't -- as he drives by the that's just something I have to live with. What do you know -- yeah collapsed beyond doubt they all got off then you've never you know. I've got the young co op when they get older in the fifties or -- and then it's quite 300 pound could go to bat outgrown all right.

want -- let you know immediately. May have had Kevin before you go did the opposite of the blue lights on when it went by you on the X way.

Oh well I mean that's just the way they drive when they're going elegant this year after they've been going on a coffee break or whatever.

I don't go 100. Miles -- I want -- 150 miles an hour if they can do it safely when the respond well again this weekend but you know if you can't do that's what we want the movement at a high raised by the way there's -- their ties. Arrange Indian special engineer special suspension special everything you know police were give again where they engineers. Remain Detroit -- let's go is I'm not I. All right so the so then is say is you was vital. As soon okay we're iPod guys I don't drive and I don't support Garcia was that'll be pulled over by about 921 record sales the only one of those those kinds SP it's Jerry RN WR --

Good morning don't want the 0001 tell this story about state troopers and handicap parking spaces near the goal -- encircled. They used to be -- and Bedford. And what 4 o'clock in the morning -- boats six big -- basis. Unlike way to work I'd pull -- pick this -- ready to get it's okay it's for the morning. This six basis handicap I've pulled up to the front of how sharp as big part of my way to work. State trooper -- parked in handicapped they felt there was six space. People considered won't check out I do pieces of -- wear out to be a fifty dollar ticket. So I said okay I mean you know it's for the morning how you look. Go to work consider coming home from barrel and to persist they gave the chances of liberal ticket you. And after that they I'd never product and it handicap -- in the fight -- people productivity handicapped zone. I really think about -- some control me at all unless session of plaque that would have because I think it's what I never did it again and.

never did so you think the trooper handled that right even though all the circumstances most people would say there are five other spaces it's for the -- I don't think Todd would be busting your chops -- he was a cop I'd probably wanted to but he brought it to your attention and you've never done it again.

I set it too much so that will that person are you serious business I told my it's warlord in the squirrels aren't even awake yet.

He says that you credible but I said okay. All right thank you know I like the story segment what's they previously earlier Collison who get. Yup and I college programs wine yes that's an expression of -- we are dealing with a -- look -- question are -- gonna -- this out again and reset the story when we continue police officer you've got his way to the UI event or who are of his day. And so what -- he uses a handicapped space. You mean yeah.

There are waiting for me. You should know from the silly.

You know right on everything you say -- the problem is. Me and her I love cooking -- is pretty dumb enough to be saying.

Where street should pay him 600. WRJ.

Tonight I believe up there. Caught breaking the law. Was part -- headache yet. Someone try to confront here. And grade. As the guys James Kennedy turned discovered when the officer and the doctor a lot of problems.

I don't see what the problem is who has been using their handicap parking space. I do think he needs a little remedial training on how to conduct himself. With the general public elicited interest and I think that's exactly the question. Because we've all done. If not that.

Particular incidents in of that particular all of our ally -- they have all the -- and and what happens when it's brought to your attention. And and no matter how it is brought your attention. Quietly in graciously. By you know by somebody just says they treat -- dotcom bubble bubble bath. And their handles it discreetly all somebody searches the person yesterday was kind of confrontational and has the camera going and wants to get a little -- exchange don't. The officer clearly -- it. Needs. A little bit of advice -- a bit of counseling well -- best thing to do at that point. You know you're absolutely right I should never of done that it'll never happen again I'm sorry let me move that -- and I'll come back and pick up the a lot of.

Larger question is -- a whenever we at a state trooper her who's. State troopers going for his coffee. And he uses a handicap space -- confronted by bad guy in a wheelchair there's a lot of the symmetry to the I dynamics A dad. He responds like some people much like -- he would expect to state trooper to respond and that is a larger issue. Is this kind of arrogance. And aggressiveness. Normal behavior with police do you think when they're dealing with their -- yes no or they're Dawson no salad whatever you're our -- he says it's normal although it is not you already heard on the news clip by the court she was good enough the run and I give him credit for every given the totality. He's in trouble this copper is in trouble. Just drove -- beaver and -- as he should be there should be some mud today excuse me nervous situations in the very recent past where. Public. Members of the public core user recording devices. To try to catch cops misbehaving like this that's not even their intention. They're just trying to document because is happening in front of them but cops actually to intimidate and prosecute people. For violating a audio recording statute. But for for using the cell -- to document these events so. -- there's a little tension developing idea there is -- and I think there's a perception cook she's perception is one that is shared across the board. That cops go overboard with Derek in their desire and willingness to use their own authority. Which isn't doesn't blogs and out of blogs who are sweet give them yeah the right to exercise. Our -- and they show turning it on us and using an aggressively especially in this case we gotta -- make an inquiry let's hear the sound is just exception to the rule -- you know went berserk.

Okay make your -- and -- for me your email. -- you've been waiting for me the sugar for disorderly conduct then -- for me thought it was okay.

This early conduct Carol Hannah is any conduct that genetic police are these are as -- like -- get your question it's a catchall in can be catch all kind of violation. -- The cooks he finds this offensively because he seizes across the board and I think when you live in a city like -- may be you have a different perception. About police I'll tell -- what is so wonderful they are. User you have Obama Umpqua you can't do what you hear about how -- a oh absolutely followed the ball exceptionally well I -- Not play this Saturday and with a broad brush up against delay that's all right this way -- on the brakes are have a follow but -- does committing confessed to traveling at very high speeds on state patrol mistake top patrolled roads so I'm not sure why saves all his good -- for the oh my god I can't wait for the next time. -- be understood the next time crooks he has pulled over by anybody but. By anybody other than the -- police that that will be a great great story do you think jail certain APB is already on our yard Gloria I could access it whenever. Hole -- not. And so it that the question is is this what cops are doing on a regular basis in this is look and you know -- the ACLU and some of the whacko left to serve -- with the idea. The police officers are abusing their authority on constant basis that this is just how they. How they do what they walk around you know I don't you know that cop walk -- let's get to the do you think that they have -- and I assume that the vast majority would never respond the way this officers responding but I think there's a certain few were attracted. To be like I had a friend and high school had that kind of attitude he want to be the toughest guy. Yeah and as soon as he got allies who couldn't wait to become a state trooper or really -- and then that I think that there's a certain type. Who really should be screened out who they feel better about themselves because they got that -- on their hip. You know they do these psychological evaluations that are on the psychological testing you have to have the physical fitness you have to take the test in school you know reasonably well and they're also to dynamics but one of the dynamics -- is the psychological profile of screaming in but because of the liability that cities and towns are exposed to know if they -- at. And -- And on how do you explain an officer like this who has no reason at all I mean I have a ton of respect for the amount of stress and danger that a police officers and state he's in particular put themselves sent but I don't understand. Why you think you can talk to people when they're asking a question what you -- parking your cruiser Illinois. 32 is yeah they shut up for how -- judge explain this and I honestly I don't know that there's an explanation. Any of us can be having a bad day but disposed to rise above -- when we don't -- I -- out yeah exactly. -- who knows you and your son or daughter might be acting up you might be having a little trouble at home with you -- you can't bring that to you -- particularly if you job is this such interaction. With the public now I would expect that our caller Jimmy who's joining us now has had a lot of this kind of experience with the cops so maybe you can shed some light on this academic.

I thought no way anybody. OK yeah I just -- related story a waterboarding -- who when I was growing up became police officers. I quite a few as a matter track. And almost the local police mobile -- in April from other towns. However what -- there was one boy it was one of the biggest bullies and found. And guess what he became a stating yeah and a high ranking state really death toll up.

did he ever get over the bullying -- knowledge Jimmy I was a pot of his personality for people -- him a copy got to keep Paula --

Hopefully I haven't seen the -- in thirty years yeah so I don't know what his personality is like beta key was. I mean he would look look what things to whacked out.

Trouble can we could put -- APV form right now and see if he is going by the house. I think it's your -- to -- it was wondered if you're still an idiot and so all the bodies -- a lot Octavia RW RK RI. I did what's going on.

Let's I just got a hundred per cent a graduate -- death. I can give -- stories all afternoon and bear in mind you're talking to are -- nine Massachusetts driver I mean don't get tickets. I don't part in any handicap spots or anything. And every time I just try to. Asked state troopers that -- one time without a gas and I drive a commercial vehicle by the way. They just don't -- don't -- tell -- yeah well he's the guy wouldn't even open as a window. You had the windows closed and I walked lead recruiter. And I went -- he's too -- to get them to open a window.

There's probably a hot day then.

Yeah I know I know are. An -- so we know who took place about three miles down Leo how might it just shouldn't taken a break. You know who do anything. And again this same thing on the beltway again I have a commercial vehicle I was trying to question the opposite because they -- everybody Obama. I have customers on -- download.

Our -- enough you're of the problems. I -- of why are you talking to all these knobs. -- I did tell us. -- sit around waiting for you come up and ask my.
