Crowd vs Cops @ The State Fair

Des Moines police officers were attacked as they waded into a combative crowd outside the gates of the Iowa State Fair Sunday night. Officers sprayed chemical deterrents and deployed a stun gun while trying to gain control. Two teen girls were taken into custody for questioning following the incident. Police administrators announced last week they were stepping up security outside the gates because of a series of attacks and fights on Aug. 14. Similar events unfolded on Sunday, the last night of the fair. Police Sgt. Richard Schuett and reserve Officer Lynn Hubbs both complained of head, neck and back pain after being punched from behind while trying to secure arrests. Several large crowds of people were leaving the fairgrounds. Sgt. Schuett was attempting to make an arrest when someone hit him in the back of the head with a closed fist. A police report says: “Officer Schuett was on the ground fighting with his suspect, and several other females began to attack him.” Another officer grabbed one of the attackers and tried to make an arrest, but she spun away. Police said other citizens jumped into the fight and other officers rushed in to help out. Chemical sprays were deployed. Coughennower used a stun gun to gain control of the teenager he was fighting, and she immediately went to the ground. Medics also removed the stun gun barbs from a suspect.


Way to go out with a bang. They all need to have a UFC match at next year's fair.

F*ck those speed cameras

WATERLOO, Iowa --- The city is entertaining plans for cameras to catch and ticket speeding motorists and those running red lights. Waterloo City Council members received a sales pitch Monday from representatives of Gatso USA Inc. of Beverly, Mass., which installed similar traffic devices in Cedar Rapids earlier this year. Mayor Buck Clark and a majority of the council members said they were willing to entertain employing the cameras, which are designed to improve roadway safety but have been panned by opponents as being invasions of privacy and city revenue boosters. Cough cough..I call bullish*t. In an interview, mayor Clark says they don't have the funds or sources to have someone watch a intersection for speeders and accidents. But now they have the funds and sources for someone in a different state to review countless hours of tapes to find speeders and record their license plate? Huh? Power and Greed ruins everything. Sure," it's all about safety" when you can...
