I had my bell royally rung while I was in the US Army when our radar tower tipped over. I was at the 24 foot level (top). I remember nothing after the first hint that tower was moving. I don't remember the fall or hitting the ground. My brain didn't have time to record the accident.

How did you end up as regards injury.

I think our brains, to some degree, blackout the details of a traumatic accident. I was in a serious school bus wreck in the 6th grade, I barely remembered any of it after it happened. I've been in a couple of car accidents since, same thing.

If this were not true, the human race would have died out LONG ago, shortly after the first or second birth.

So hes travelling 40mph over the posted limit, there's an empty prescription bottle at the scene, and he thought he was in Florida. But no indication of DUI? Really? And we're supposed to believe this isn't wealth privilege?

He had also just been subjected to the impact(s) associated with a major traffic collision (...head trauma, etc.). It's not wealth privilege because not being cited for an infraction happens all of the time in solo TC collisions with no serious property damage. I cite probably 50% of the time when it comes to traffic collisions, and I'm not running into celebs in my gang infested patrol area.

So, he was travelling waaay over the limit before the alleged head trauma; the empty pill bottle...And this did not raise suspicion of dui with any of the officers?

Sorry, this is complete bs, and wealth privilege at its definition.

You are going to believe what you want. Nothing I can say here is going to change your mind.

[6oclockshadow]

you're right on that. It's a hard one to swallow. You work for CNN? Lol.

Funny!


No, I'm just telling you that Tiger's treatment following that collision is not unusual at all. I've been at the law enforcement game a long time and I've worked tons of collisions (...and I work probably 5 collisions a shift; more when I was working freeways with my prior agency). Tiger's crash wasn't a big deal. It was only made a big deal by the media because he was behind the wheel. Excessive speed solo collisions happen all of the time and Jane or Joe Schmoe aren't cited.

That's independent of the scope of my department working his collision site.

not sure why you have such a hard on for tiger, was your gf one of the perkins waitresses or something, but there are plenty of "normal" people that dont get cited in 1 person wrecks with little to no property damage.

Hell, i had an employee the other day total his truck in a 1 person wreck after going off into a ditch. He didnt remember anything about the crash, had similar symptoms and reactions as tiger did (combative, pupils, etc) and they didnt do any bloodwork on him either. And this guy has a history of multiple DUIs. He wasnt cited on the scene or after. They just loaded him up into the ambulance and did a quick interview at the hospital.

^^^This!


Now Paris Hilton is another story. She definitely got preferential treatment while in our jails. No doubt about that!!!! We made the jail into a 3-Star hotel for her, which was significantly better than the -5 Star jail everybody else was in.

Dude, the pill bottle was in his back pack, not clenched in his hand when he crashed. The bottle could have been in there for months. It could have contained vitamins, or aspirin, or throat lozenges, or golf tees, you don't know, and neither do we.

And WTF is "wealth privilege" anyway. Tiger is one of the worlds top professional golfers, he got there working his ass off. If you want some "privilege" go work to get it. No one is holding you back.

One of my buddies drove me back to an aid station at our base camp, about 15 miles to the rear. I "came to" while we crossing a big river, on a barge. I stayed at the aid station over night for observation for a possible concussion. My chest and back hurt like hell, as did my head. The medics gave me APC (military version of aspirin). I was back on duty the next day, in the field, sore as hell. Location: Near the Cambodian border, Vietnam, 1969.

Around here, they avoid testing you for drugs/alcohol unless specifically requested by LEO, because most insurance companies won't pay for care if it was caused by intoxication. The bill for that ambulance/ER visit is often better than $20k and they don't want to lose the revenue.
