Police: Woman Upset Trump President Tried To Hit Officer
And it was all fun and games until the article got to the part about what she tried to hit the cop with…
State police say 58-year-old Eileen Pierce tried to hit an officer directing traffic at a tree-trimming site on Route 69– allegedly driving her Subaru wagon directly at him, yelling out the window, and shaking her fist. The officer quickly got out of the way, and police say Pierce narrowly missed hitting a tree crew.
When Pierce was pulled over at the Burlington-Bristol line, troopers say she rambled for several minutes, saying she was upset with police and that officers are being murdered because they tend to abuse people’s rights — noting she was angry that Donald Trump is president.
Joel to Editors: “Woman tries to run down officer with car” might have been a less misleading headline…
Sheesh. I may need to set up a refugee camp for my city-living friends if this goes on…

Yeah, but it wouldn’t have been nearly as panic-stricken clickworthy.
Once again I am sooo happy to be living in the country (as opposed to the city) where wing nuts like this are few and far between. Lucky for her the cop’s reaction wasn’t that fast or she could have found out the hard way about police firearms.
I could lose my cophater union card for saying this out loud, but it sounds (from what little is said) as if the cop did the right thing. Too many cops have made too much bad news by spraying bullets around when a radio is a better weapon. Once he identified the car she drove, she didn’t get far.
