You meant his "butty," right?

Rump Ranger on Patrol.....10-4 good buddy!!!

I have never been treated with anything but courtesy, by Mississippi's OUTSTANDING Highway Patrol.

Whatever selection process has been used seems to be working. They're a good bunch, and I feel confident that I will be treated fairly by them. Frankly, I don't care if every single one is Gay or Bisexual, if that's what it takes to get officers who are competent, and who do not abuse their power.

As has already been established, the man had called-in and was on a break. His conduct has been handled precisely as it has been handled when officers have, under similar circumstances, engaged in heterosexual activities.

This is something of which the State should be PROUD. It should not become a scandal. If anything, the handling of the affair is proof of the State's fairness and progressiveness.

I've been treated like shit by a MHP pooper-trooper and I am white. After he asked for my phone number and I refused he arrested my. I just don't like dudes so I guess that's a crime in Mississippi.

Hey 9:55pm --- Go 10-69 yourself!

9:55 obviously THE gay tropper or another gay tropper. If your queer, no problem, just don't marry somebody's daughter or have sex while in uniform.

9:55 not likely a trooper. Complete sentences, proper punctuation, frequent usage of words with eight or more letters, correctly spelled...but apparently behind them all the way!

Read the story. It's not about homosexuality or heterosexuality. It's about an alleged crime committed by a law enforcement officer and both MDOT's and DPS's subsequent attempt to hide it from the public by concealing public records.

Any civilian caught having sex out in the open on the side of a highway would have been arrested. In this alleged case, however, state troopers are apparently above the law and held to a lower standard than the rest of us.

What a tease you are Kingfish. There is nothing here of adult content or unsuitable for a work computer. But really, 9:55, how assinine of you to suggest a trooper wanting to have sex while on duty need only radio in and say he's on break.

"I did NOT have sex with that woman...Miss Lewinsky... while at work. I was on break."

What about the trooper in the Meridian Distric who was caught with the court clerk in Smith County - he was transferred to the Batesville district. The trooper in the Brookhaven District was demoted and given a 10 day suspension, but allowed to remain in his district! Sounds like a racial discriminaltion suit to me! Butt wait, he may have been on Patrick's executive team?

Melinda McGrath (MDOT executive Director) was made aware of this incident and allowed MDOT Chief of law enforcement to cover it up. The MDOT commissioner's need to grow some balls and get ride of her and Huff. Hell, we have 3 Republicans running the department and they still have the former head of the Personnel Board under Ray Mabus working on the 10th Floor. The Legislatur needs to do away with the Transportation Commission and let the Governor appoin the Executive Director. MDOT needs cleaning up and taking care of our highways instead of spending all the money on MDOT headquarters downtown! I'm tired of the potholes on our highways!

7:49; Your post sort of reminds me of the priesthood. When they go 10-7 for a little dalliance, and get caught at it, they simply are either ignored or transferred.

Did I mention that the trooper in the Meridian District was black? Maybe William fruitcake was friends with Wille Huff????

MHP has not tried to hid this they have advertised about their ride alongs with truckers for some time. They should just change it from "ride along" to "ride ons".

Puts new meaning in the phrase backseat driver...

MHP doesn't do much of a background check on their employees - they have an employee that is higher up at the Patrol who was convicted of selling drugs back in the late 70's. A drug dealer working at the Mississippi highway Patrol! Phil must feel real good - considering his law enforcement background as a Deputy Sheriff!

Be careful around Wesson - William Fruitcake is riding all the back roads looking for his next bust! Even his wife has caought him 2 times and he has been written up 5 times by MHP - common knowledge around the Capitol!

A drug dealer working for the Highway Patrol? A queer Trooper screwing in the back of his cruiser! And the Governor allows this to go on and on! Wonder what they are going to teach at the new Patrol school coming up? Maybe Patrick will come back from Texas or whereever he is to redecorate the Governor's Office or play with the Troopers!

I can just imagine the instructors at the new patrol class giving commands;
"Front rank,bend over"
"Rear rank, prepare to mount"!

I can just hear the road test question now: "Son, you done good on the written part, but come outside and lesee if you can you handle a stick."

I can't believe someone was studip enough to comment that this is something our state should be proud of.

A cop and a truck driver engaged in a roadside tryst and we should all be "PROUD". What a moron.

Maybe next time they can invite a construction worker, a biker and an indian so that the newspaper headlines can read "The Village People Perform On South Mississippi Interstate"

Just y'all be careful if one of them troopers stops you and wants you to blow on his intoxilyzer.
Don't believe it if he tells you that it is a new type.

It's pretty clear that the poster you're referring to was saying the state should be proud of the equitable handling of the situation (handling the same-sex malfeasance in the same way the agency had handled similarly inappropriate conduct, when it involved a man and a woman). The state should NOT be proud of fairness? You know, Mississippi has a reputation for being filled with the kind of people who ride around in the backs of trucks, waving Confederate flags, looking for dark people to lynch, women to menace, and Gays to bash. So, maybe we should be glad for any news which tends to counteract that myth of intolerance.

As for your 'Village People' comment, I had to look them up, to understand what you were talking about. They were active back in the Seventies, apparently. It seems you are revealing your age, as well as your true sexual preference, if you are such an expert on the "Village People". Do you have their albums and posters? Did you go to their concerts, "back in the day"?

So, you had to look up who the Village People are. You are either lying or you are as stupid as the person that said we should be proud (I'm guessing you ARE the "proud" commenter).

We shouldn't be proud of any part of this story. It doesn't matter if the trooper was schtumping man, woman or beast, it isn't something to be proud of. The mere fact that you even attempted to turn this into a equal rights for gays discussion is just mind numbing.

Isn't it ironic that (June 2, 2014 at 3:27 PM) seems to want to be a champion for gay rights then attempts insult someone by insinuating that they are homosexual by owning Village People posters and albums. It's hard to take someone seriously when they contradict their own viewpoint.

Which is it honey? Is it okay to be gay or not?

An alias masking the Superego masking the Ego masking the true intent of the Id. A scared little boy, hiding in a closet hidden within another closet within yet another closet within still another closet. And with every challenge and every threat of exposure, the little boy constructs another, deeper closet.

So many men around here are like Matryoshka Dolls of Human Sexuality.

"I'm not one, because HE's one, and HE's an even bigger one, and I HATE 'em, so that means I'm not one, and I make fun of 'em, so that means I can't be one, and, and, and." AND? You think we can't see through ALL those layers and projections?

While my Grandmothers in the League may (or may not) have obsessed over whether the maids were sitting on their commodes, we TODAY get a lot of enjoyment out of speculations over whose husband is a BIG OL' -----.

Female sexuality is pretty fluid, and so we normally would not particularly care about the parameters of the fantasy lives of men. But with AIDS around, we are less amused than were our mothers. They thought it was a SCREAM that a certain super-famous football "great" came to Jackson, and had boosters scouting "action" for him (he preferred the passive role, and liked much-younger partners).

But when a wealthy "booster" for a certain school's team was forbidden to do any more "mentoring" of players, we wanted names. Who wanted her little sister marrying one of those players, when he could give her AIDS.

So really, I kinda wish ALL you guys accusing each other of being (you know) would just get real and dispense with all those layers of lies. It would be so much more HYGIENIC.

That must have been some good weed!
