Not a lot of thought provokers

There was a lot of news this week, but really, nothing that sparks a lot of thought.

There were some strong stories, but nothing that really seemed too controversial.

I guess the biggest thought provoker is high-speed chases.

This week Beaumont police had at least three instances of bandits running from officers.

Two of the pursuits made the news because they ended in accidents.

Every time this happens there are those who will blame the police for the chase and not blame the lawbreaker the police are chasing.

Look, there is no way to for a cop to know why a person is running.

Did he just kill someone?

Did he just rape someone?

Everyone knows it’s a serious thing to run from a cop so if the guy chooses to run, he probably has something big to hide.

Bottom line… stop means stop!
