Noticed while driving southbound I95, 12 or more police on Augusta on ramp heading north towards Waterville. Traffic stopped.
Anybody know what’s going on? Never seen so many cops in one place.
Approximate time 8:45pm
Sounds like an accident to me... Especially with traffic being stopped...
Augusta PD donut line 🤣🤣
Almost always the case
That’s what I’ve come to expect, though the sheer number of police make me think something else is afoot, maybe a chase or wrong way driver?
Anyways just looking to see if anyone here had heard info locally.
Not an accident. It was a police procession line for a fallen officer in Aroostook County.
how much did that cost?
A cop in Baileyville died and they were escorting the body to the ME office. There was also a big funeral for another in Bangor today that a lot of LE from around the state attended.
It cost some time and compassion.
Don’t you just love our tax dollars paying the vehicle etc costs when some dude dies and his buddies want to attend. Warms the cockles of my heart /s
Wow, you suck.
Downvoted for calling out the downvoted 🙄
Why do we have to spend public dollars on it though? I don’t get a free police escort of dozens of vehicles if one of my family members die and free transport of their remains so why do they get special treatment?
I assume I will also be granted the same use of taxpayer funds when I die.
Fuck em.
Nobody remembers redetiquette
I member.
Get off your moms couch and dedicate your life to law enforcement, then perhaps when you die you’ll get the respect you so desperately crave.
Yeah well hopefully. I won't be buried in any of the trash furniture you made.
If I wanted shit that looked like a dorm room exploded and reassembled, I'd call ya.
The same reason we give soldiers who die in the line of duty special treatment.
TIL everyone that works at a job "dedicates their life to it".
How about an r/angryupvote ?
