Explain I'm chasing a 90lb female on foot and I caught her and came back injured that doesn't make sense nor do that story seem right,js Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or maybe it was just one who turned their ankle but still managed to continue on through the pain and catch her. So yeah, that story do seem right, when one looks at it objectively and without bias against one group of people or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What the actual hell are you talking about? The officer OBVIOUSLY reported the injury, so the report would also entail HOW they were injured - to the hospital, doctor, comp insurance etc. I’m seriously beginning to thing you’re not remotely serious and instead are just here trolling the site.

Pvt Snowball 44 Posted October 4 Agreed on that I appreciate it they post the whole story not half ass it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
