NJSP is nothing but professional. This isn’t Minnesota, i know the real story but cant comment due to a on going investigation. This one wait for the facts. There is a dash cam video.
Travis Walker nothing but professional? This was the law enforcement agency that was so desperate to get their fingers in a guy’s asshole that they couldn’t even wait for a warrant…
Tim MacDonald being in the coast guard I know you were jealous that finger wasn’t in your butt. Btw stop burning the burgers at McDonald’s in Stafford. Still butt hurt your wife left you for a trooper ????????????
Jim Whales if you support bad police so much, how about you take a trip out to Minnesota this weekend? I’m sure you’d fit in really well
Well aren’t you special? Why would you comment that you know the real story? You can’t just not say anything?
