It's Montana. They probably needed to run the stuff just to get past the "once a year" maintenance fire-up. And walk the dog.

They're probably testing their Tasers on their new 'volunteer' right now...

montana is a great place. they don't sweat the little stuff, but they don't tolerate bad people, theives and such. or at least most montanans seem that way.

No mug shot? Disappointed, I am. :(

Must've been some high-end trailer trash merchandise that the guy had lifted. Jaime-Lynn Spears Signature Line Pregnancy Tests?

This could turn into a 'fun K-Mart product' thread real quick.

Makes sense. I mean your entire job as a cop is to say fly a helicopter. 52 weeks out of the year, minus some vacation, you fly that customs chopper up and down the Canadian border. You've likely never seen a smuggler in your life but have rescued a half dozen dumb ass stranded tourists. You get a call for a shoplift plus assault and this is like the bumfark equivalent of a SWAT raid for a regular area.


Same goes for the K9 unit. He prolly walks the dog up and down the checkpoint sniffing to see if al-Qaeda is hidding in the logging trucks.

They got the guy, they got some on the job training and now they'll go back to five years of patrolling checkpoint to checkpoint. Fair enough.

/Can't hate them since we keep making excuses to take the Corvettes out on the weekends for "extra testing."
//Would make excuses to fly the helicopter on more exciting missions if that was my job

Cascade County... was there a detective with a slightly nerdy college guy writing a thesis on Sentinels involved?

Nice work.

So why wouldn't the cops even bother to show up at my house when Al Queda hijacked my car stereo?

Well, if you'd killed some one in Richmond, Ca. You'd still be free.

It's been downhill since they stopped the Blue Light specials.

 
yotta 2008-01-07 12:40:03 AM  
a perimeter with seven patrol cars, a K9 unit and the Customs Boarder Patrol helicopter was also launched.

I didn't know they had such a big problem with people not paying their rooming house rent on time up there!

Don't mess with K-mart.

Check point? That anything,like a illegal roadblock. I've seen bridges across ditches on the border that were there for weeks without border patrol bothering to remove them..Then theres always the perfect well tromped trail.

So the cop car wasnt a blue light special after all?

...give 'em something to talk about...

 
nonsequitor [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 01:34:13 AM  
That's some fine police work there, keep it up. The public was protected and a criminal apprehended.

Why is this on Fark? Is it really that uncommon?

/sigh

Wait, after horrible stock plunges, Martha stweart, and horrible management (plus every K-Mart I've ever known is now closed as of two years ago) K-Mart is still in business?

 
Spongiform 2008-01-07 03:02:21 AM  
I'm surprised this story isn't about the employee getting fired.

 
weatherwax 2008-01-07 03:31:12 AM  
People still go to K-Mart? Even to steal? Every time I happened to be in a K-Mart nobody was in there shopping and all the employees had dead eyed looks. I thought they'd all be shut down by now.

What,no Blackwater???

Still in business?!

They bought Sears back in Nov. 2004.

I see that there is no further reason to post in this thread, Mr. Win.

I work for KMart and I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

 
dcjones [TotalFark] 2008-01-07 09:34:24 AM  
Can no one spell Kmart like it's supposeta be spelled?
Hyphens are for chumps. Xtra caps are like turds.
It's simply Kmart ... youknowsit.

exley montana is a great place. they don't sweat the little stuff, but they don't tolerate bad people, thieves and such

I hate to disillusion you but it's not that way where I live (nw MT): I spent 12 years trying to get the local drug dealer incarcerated after he shot my dog: he was a convicted felon and not allowed to have guns but the local Barneys said "..that's a federal law, we're not responsible for enforcing that." In other words, they weren't giving up their payoffs to do their job. I found and trained with the best handgun instructor around and the dealer started crossing the street when he saw me. Eventually karma took care of him but my tax dollars are paying for his crotch dropping's room at the state pen.
