It was just too much, having to return to court twice on the same day to contest yet another traffic ticket, and Fire Chief Don Payne didn't hesitate to tell the judge what he thought of the police and their speed traps.Read the rest of this post... | Read the comments on this post...The response from cops? They shot him. Right there in court.
