These idiots need to be made to pay restitution to the other drivers whose cars they damage. Insurance never pays the full amount and it takes countless hours dealing with getting the paperwork done and repairs made. Those responsible for such outrageous behavior need to be made to pay.

Fantastic. Thank you very very (twice on purpose) for the coverage. Remember children: Do not mess with the ASP, as you might just have to take a pee. In prison. Believe me. That is NOT a good thing and your so-called bell will be ringed many times. I recently watched a compilation of Officer Jacob Byrd. It was surreal. The calm, the presence, the focus, at 178 MPH+ (try to remain calm at that speed with traffic and other nonsense happening) was absolutely unbelievable. Some folks are born to do certain things. We think that many who serve with the ASP were literally born to do what they do. Born to eradicate the "black hats". Nothing against black hats, and I am not referring to "race" so-called. I wear a black hat everyday literally. I am talking about the line in the proverbial sand. Choose wisely. Also, be well or you might just go to hell. The line is blurred at this moment in time figuratively as well as literally. However, in AR, the line is clear and is presented in 8K for those who dare. Take care and be safe out there. BTW. The Byrd family has over 100 YEARS in LE in AR. This AR Trooper and gentleman was just fantastic.

Suspect had been removed from the scene 30 minutes at that point. Grrrr. But Arkansas cleans debris quickly and get traffic moving in minutes. Bravo!
