Warning to Deafies that must deal with police force in Alaska
After numerous incidents involving those that are entrusted to "protect and serve" I offer bitter warning: DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.
Crossing the cross-walk while the blue "Safe to Cross" sign was illuminated, I was hit by a Ford Truck. The driver was distracted talking on a cell phone. The logo on the side of the truck: "Wasilla Police"
I was then criminalized for carrying 2 loaded and chambered pistols to simply walk across town. Never mind the fact that I was hit by a motorized vehicle for my compliance with safety standards and the proper use of a crosswalk.
Later that year, I was involved in a nasty collision with a plow truck that cut my vehicle like a hot knife through butter. The same "Officer" (I honestly cannot call this person an "officer" based on empirical evidence) responded to the crash scene and refused to allow me the warmth of his squad car. I was injured, I was unable to walk. I was in shock. I was in pain.
Simply based on the fact that I am deaf and that this moron had "dealt with me" in the past, I suffer long term brain damage (memory loss of important things, but can remember trivial crap like nobody else can believe) and continually have problems figuring out where I am and where I need to be going.
So, on the police report, he writes "Airbags did not deploy" which is a total lie. Airbags did deploy. I have the car in my driveway!
He also wrote "NO INJURIES"
Standard protocol is to call EMT crew to EVERY collision that has deployed airbags. No ambulance. Only a jerk in a snow-storm in a shiny cop-car.
I then was driving a friend's car that same month. I slammed brakes to avoid a collision with a cop car and the car behind me slammed into me. The cop was doing a 3-point turn around in the middle of the street in the dark with all lights OFF do chase down a small truck with a burned out headlight bulb. So, for $5 worth of light bulb, 2 cars got totaled. I just got finished paying for that wreck.
In that incident, I had the STATE TROOPERS respond to the wreck. They acknowledged that I stopped to avoid a collision but failed to cite (ticket) the officer for reckless endangerment.
Again. Sad to say: I warn everyone, regardless of their walk of life to be very careful with those who "Serve to Protect themselves" and especially those who are deaf for the treatment that they will receive is insulting and sub-human at best.

I know GK, but I don't think I've met the other two people you mentioned, at least not yet. If you ever see a girl with a service dog that's a big black poodle, that might be me. (Although, it also might not. Apparently there's another big black poodle service dog in the Valley now, too.)
I'm in a good spot, but I have a bunch of friends farther north who've been evacuated. This is crazy! No rain today, though, so maybe things are beginning to ease up.
