Decades ago a young Virginia State Trooper (VSP) menacingly placed his hand on his firearm like Doc Holliday while disrespectfully addressing me for allegedly speeding as I left the Pentagon and entered Arlington County, Virginia.
In full US Army uniform I asked him if he intended to shoot me.
The trooper became more belligerent with me in his body language and words.
After I finally agreed to sign the summons, I said "See you in court."
When my turn came up in court a few weeks later I asked the ADA to present the body-cam or vehicle-cam film as evidence that would both exonerate me and show how dangerous this VSP flatfoot was.
The young VSP Brownshirt whispered something to the ADA who then advised the judge the film was not available that day.
After I demonstrated to the court on a dry erase whiteboard that the trooper had no line of sight on me coming around the USAF memorial statue, the judge ended up fining me half the amount and no points were taken away from my license.
When I paid the fine, a court clerk said to me: "Colonel, that was a great demonstration on the whiteboard. These Virginia state troopers are all alike. They smile like angels in court but they're nasty to everybody outside."

If the insidious Trumpf junta wants to deport migrants, why spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy warehouses to build ICE concentration camps for them?
Q. How long does ICE intend to keep these migrants?
A. Long enough for contractors to make money through them by feeding and housing them on the cheap. They will charge the hardworking American taxpayer $159 per day to lodge each migrant, but spend less than $26 on their daily nutrition. And lots of security jobs will be created for white Republicans.
