On the Trace?

It’s really sad that we live in a third world ass state in the third world country where people have to beg for money if they are injured on the job!

Texting?

MS is in the dark ages. I am a disabled retired LEO from another state - three different on-the-job incidents. Each time I was allowed up to one year off, at full pay, tax free (state & federal), with all benefits remaining in place. This wasn't "sick time," but disability time off. I only used the max of one year just before I retired on disability (tax free) at 50% of my highest year. My medical/dental/vision insurance is paid for life.

@6:41 - The policies of your 'other state' don't have jack to do with those of Mississippi.

The request here is for blood, not money, you jackasses. Comp does not provide blood.

It's both, jackwagon, once the site is finalized.

We understand 6:41. But your free rider lavish life is paid for by the unfortunate taxpayers of the state you fled in order to come take advantage of Mississippi’s affordable and low tax environment. We know that certain states pay 6 figure salaries to cops. But we also know that a fatal 1050 will have traffic jammed for 12 hours as they rack up OT in order to max out the last year to inflate pensions. And we know how even rich guys like Ray Kelly both magically work 24 hours a day their last year and then drop a disabled packet the last week on the job to claim back pain or nonspecific and previously unreported heart conditions to get tax free pensions. After often being weekend warriors to get a Guard pension too. Great for you. Terrible for your taxpayer. Maybe you should go back to that state and enjoy the state and local taxes there? Or the new cost of living there? Instead of trashing us while reaping rewards of the LEO disability schtick. It’s unsustainable yet we have to house you after you cash in and cash out with housing your kids and grandkids can’t afford. Unless they get in on the “public servant” gravy train there maybe? We LEOs here work hard and get modest salaries at best. You are totally tone deaf with self serving brags here. Carpetbaggers and Californicator types go home.

I provided an example of what Mississippi should provide their LEOs, vs. staying last in everything, which is what you must prefer.

@7:33 AM Your attitude is what keeps you and Mississippi last. I would like to see MS LEOs receive the same benefits as they deserve and earned them, but keep your head in the sand.

I am an LEO supporter, but 7:33 speaks the truth.

7:33, I can understand the frustration of it. However, he is just taken advantage of the system that state put in place. You should direct the anger at the people that implemented that policy. Or, you can be a LEO in that state and do the same thing he did. I agree with you on the points you made. But, I can also see his side in doing all that because that is what that state allows.

What blood type is needed? O+, O-, AB or what?

It doesn't matter because it is a blood "bank." You can deposit lira, pounds, whatever. Your blood doesn't go into the patients arm.

In the advertisement, his badge says Policia. Is that a real Ridgeland PD badge?

Hits a massive tree laying across both lanes, in broad daylight.

This whole thing seems odd. Do Ridgeland PD take their vehicles home? If not, he’s over 20 miles out of jurisdiction. Strange!

Quite possibly distracted driving.

1. He was off duty. 2. It was about 6am during a massive thunderstorm so likely low visibility. 3. Yes he was allowed to take his vehicle home.

He was off duty.

On Thursday I provided a vehicle protection zone and then pushed a stranded motorist out of a busy intersection. A deputy stopped to help protect the scene...and then a city cop stopped and further assisted us getting the car to a nearby parking lot.

People helping people. 2 white guys...2 black guys. It was AWESOME. No one shot. No one bitching. Just helping our fellow man.

That said...personally grateful to not have been attacked by any trees and aware enough to see a fellow man in need of assistance (and no trees between us).

"Comp does not provide blood."

And you know that, how. I've worked with comp for decades and am not sure whether comp is obligated, in Mississippi, to pay the bill for blood transfusions. If it's a life saving necessity, by guess is YES.

I do know for a fact that comp is obligated to pay for meds for the duration and can be lifetime depending on the outcome of an on job injury. There are exclusions but I'm not sure if blood is one of them.

The keys are: Was he on duty and is blood excluded.

He lives near Canton. He was on his way to work. Happy? He will recover but the recovery will be a long one.
