Mark’s Soap Box

Last story of the year and it sucks.

Oceanside PD K9 Officer “Stryker” was killed tonight in the line of duty. “Stryker” was released to subdue a suspect on the Coronado Bridge. The suspect survived the fall, but “Stryker” did not. He was retrieved by the San Diego Harbor Patrol.

The pursuit started in Oceanside , after OPD attempted to pull the suspect over for driving erratically. The suspect fled, and after driving close to 50 miles the suspect stopped in the middle of the Coronado Bridge. “Stryker” was released to subdue the suspect. The suspect grabbed the dog and leaped over the side of the bridge. The suspect survived, “Stryker” did not.

The Coronado Bridge (wikipedia entry)is slightly more than 2 miles long. It is built on an arc so the the Navy ships can pass underneath without having to raise or lower any segments. It also allows for continuous traffic flow. It is approximately 200 feet high at the highest sections.

NFL backs down on Patriots game. It’s about damn time.

NEW YORK (AP) — After weeks of insisting they wouldn’t cave in, NFL officials did just that Wednesday. Now all of America can see the Patriots’ shot at history.

Saturday night’s game between New England and the New York Giants on the NFL Network, which is available in fewer than 40 percent of the nation’s homes with TVs, will be simulcast on CBS and NBC.

Patriots game will be broadcast on 3 networks. You have to be an idiot to try and force people onto the NFL network. This is the same strategy that Microsoft keeps trying, ditto for Apple; all it does is tick people off. Dumbasses.
