Comments on: State Trooper Files to Run Against Cecil County Del. Smigiel in State Dist. 36 GOP Primary https://ceciltimes.com/2013/04/state-trooper-files-to-run-against-cecil-county-del-smigiel-in-state-dist-36-gop-primary/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Jason https://ceciltimes.com/2013/04/state-trooper-files-to-run-against-cecil-county-del-smigiel-in-state-dist-36-gop-primary/#comment-26263 Tue, 31 Dec 2013 22:18:31 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=3062#comment-26263 I am the first to stick up for our law enforcement. However, after reviewing the video of how this officer conducted himself, I am embarrassed for the force as a whole. It brings with it a negative image and draws public rage. It was obvious to me that officer Uhler was more concerned about acting on his Uber-sized ego than protecting/serving. Nevertheless, if elected, he’ll fit in perfectly with the rest of the professional scum bags we call our government.

He didn’t point it at the driver, he was dealing with someone who clearly is reckless and negligent. Many motorcyclists race around highways creating dangerous and often deadly collisions on our roadways. In addition, they often flee because they can out maneuver the cruisers.

The wiretapping issue was separate and was invalidated by the courts (so the system worked).

Police officers are killed every single week in this country. Considering the staggering amount of violence against police officers, I’d say the trooper’s actions were pretty restrained.

If this situation took a turn for the worst (which it potentially could have easily) and you and/or your family were involved, I bet you would feel differently.Now do you really think the rider didn’t know the car chasing him was a police car and the person in it a police officer?Your stance on this issue appears to be that of a sleazy defense lawyer. Mike, is that you?
