It was just flashed that an Officer escorting Bush was killed in a crash.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - A police officer in President Bush's motorcade crashed his motorcycle and died Monday, less than a year after a crash in Hawaii killed another motorcycle officer accompanying the president.
The 40-year-old Rio Rancho officer, whose name was not released pending notification of relatives, crashed at the Albuquerque airport at a point where a road enters an underground parking garage, said Trish Hoffman, a spokeswoman for the Albuquerque Police Department
Here's you a link dark shadows. Much more at the link, too.
To my very dearest Liz,:blowkiss:Hi Dark_Shadows
I noticed that, too. Seems odd, doesn't it?
Also read that the officer leaves behind a wife and two teenagers. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
To my very dearest Liz,:blowkiss:
It is a pleasure to see you.
At least I am not the only one wondering why they speed. Why would a motorcade escorting the President speed?

I just saw this on Alice's link;
"Any time there is a presidential motorcade, the officers, that's part of their job, they drive at a high rate of speed," Hoffman said.
They speed everywhere they go?????

To make it harder for a sniper to hit the president, I would think. I've seen presidential motorcades many times in New York and Los Angeles and, yes, they were always going very fast.
My very dearest Amraann,:blowkiss:Yes they do speed everywhere they go!!
I was once misfortunate enough to be on one of the Florida interstates when the president was coming down ....
I was not aware it was his motorcade until after but while driving part of the interstate narrowed to one lane for construction The motorcade almost got separated ..... Let me tell you how aggressive they were!
They actually almost ran several people into the cement barracade refusing to let anyone through ....and even when a couple of people slid by (unintentional just going with the flow of merging trafffic)
They passed them in ONE LANE.
Yeah I flipped them off
My very dearest Amraann,:blowkiss:
OMG!!!!
I truly had no idea. Thank-you for posting that. I am very happy to hear that you flipped them the bird.

WE have President Bush visiting down here next month for the Apec meetings...I wonder will he be hooning around our streets....Laura cant make it as she has a bad back..that what she tells us anyway .To my dearest Amraann,:blowkiss:
:blushing:
Well I am just happy that you weren't injured.....
Has anyone from the public been hurt or killed because of their driving? If so what would they do, write them off as Collateral Damage???
