What makes you an expert on this or anything that has to do with law enforcement??? You just like to stir up things where it isn't necessary. This officer was driving INTO the tornado itself!!! What kind of language would you use? Do you cuss about things at your job, maybe not directly to the customer, but I bet you do when no one can hear you. Well, at the time, this officer was in his car, no one else around and I also know for a fact that the tornado was on the ground at the time and it was in Fruitland, where that officer lives!!!!! At that point, he didn't know if his wife and kids were still alive or not, or if it had hit his house. This video did NOT have to be placed in the public for viewing, he did this so people could look at the tornado from a differnt angle. It is not up to any officer to "set off the siren". You need to know what you are talking about before you start opening your mouth!! The person in the vehicle would not get out, all he wanted was for that guy to get out of his vehicle so he could take him to safetly (which is what he did). Cops in general are thought to be bad guys, but I bet not one of you would be MAN enough to risk your life everyday!!
I'm not sure as to who that post was directed towards, but, as for me, I say "Hats Off" to ALL of emergency personnel who had to act and react during that stressful storm. As I said before, I was at work, and I thought that my butt was a gonner! Never been even close to one before in my life of 60 years. I commend all of the folks that had to deal with it. Considering the amount of damage, even in Muscatine, we were only without power for less than 6 hours. Even had cable tv back. I think that EVERYBODY did a bang up job, from keeping us safe, to putting our lives back together. Again, KUDDO'S TO YOU ALL! Tom.
