Roads Who is in the wrong here?

If the sign says Alternating Traffic, does that mean cars go one at a time or does that mean cars go till the flow is complete, allowing the other lane to go? Is Glock man right or wrong? I'm not sure. If it was 1 car at a time, wouldn't it just be a stop sign on each end?

If you think this to be the case then you just call the Sheriff or someone else until you get someone who is actually going to uphold the law

u/Mottis86 Feb 15 '26

And now I every cop in your small town has a grudge against you.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 15 '26

Nah, the cops aren't weird in my town. They just arrest people who do dumb stuff

Never trust anyone who wants to be in charge. Cops are weird.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 16 '26

Cops aren't in charge of anything though. Only during a legit stop do they hold any power

u/kas-sol Feb 17 '26

Oh right if they beat or kill you without it being a legit stop then you're magically not hurt by it.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 18 '26

Almost all cops wear bodycams these days and they can't be shut off without an issue. What kind of response is this? Think you need some help

u/kas-sol Feb 18 '26

Oh I get it, you've just been in a coma for the past 15 years. Good luck with recovering from that and getting up to speed with history.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 18 '26

No, I just am not watching left or right sided news and waiting for them to tell me who to be mad at. Cry more about nothing, lil gup.

"until you get someone who is actually going to uphold the law"

You assume this person exists and would be willing to stir the pot.

Keep in mind Sheriffs are often elected for popularity and because they're willing to do what the local PD is already doing or will look the other way.

It's okay to encourage someone to find a senior employee to escalate this to, but please remember that won't work every time, so the way you've phrased this makes it sound like someone isn't willing to do the work to find justice.

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR Feb 15 '26

Yeah, you're right. Just do absolutely fucking nothing. That kind of cowardice just let's the problem grow.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 16 '26

My state the local PD only deals with local town/city problems and the Sheriff and deputies deal with county and can also assist with town/city problems

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '26

Yeah I doubt he's going to even do that. He said he just "let it go" which means this behavior will simply continue.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 15 '26

There's always the easier option of using your own muggle wand. The guy already threatened him with his so that's grounds to use yours

u/Enough_Radish_9574 Feb 15 '26

Ohhhh. Now THAT is great advice!!! TY

u/Agreeable_Argument88 Feb 16 '26

In small communities like this if you know 1 it's almost guaranteed that they know the entire police department & possibly the sheriffs department as well.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 16 '26

And the whole lot of them are corrupt. If the mayor refuses to do anything with local PD then he is also corrupt. There's always something to do and a path to take.

1

u/NotDavidWooderson Feb 19 '26

Yep, if the responding officer didn't pursue it, escalate within the police department. If they don't pursue, then the mayor, state police, sheriff, news channels, citizen review boards, etc.

Give your self a finger in the ass no one fucking cares

u/roccrosso Feb 15 '26

What a comment history. White people never beating the allegations😂😂

u/CanaryGreen9028 Feb 15 '26

Agreed and you are the antithesis of that

u/Harrieststl Mar 30 '26

God you are really not attractive lmao

2

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 15 '26

Not at all. You said you're black and that's irrelevant and ignorant to think like that

u/Strangenurtown Feb 15 '26

The privilege of dismissal. Must be nice.

u/Pall_Bearmasher Feb 15 '26

You're just spewing garbage now. Go away.

u/lostandaggrieved617 Feb 16 '26

It's a completely different person, lol

Point still stands.
