my x-wife took a criminology class at ivytech tought by the last assistant police chief of evansville (Before the current asst chief), he told the class, that he teaches officers to pull over ANYBODY that waves at them!
Lived here all my life (55 years). No idea what the "Red Bridge" is.Glad I left Evansville. Most days.
I miss the Red Bridge and the riverfront back when it was worth going to.
So many memories in that town.

As for the OP, I wonder what the problem is with EPD. Is is a hiring issue? Training? Billy needs to make some changes. Fast...
OK, so no waving, what about blowing kisses at them?
It's the "Joan Marchand" Bridge down by the riverfront near the railroad on Ohio street. It's where Pigeon Creek empties into the Ohio.
I simply don't care who "Joan" was or what she did, even after reading the stupid placard they put up, and thus refer to it by the shockingly candy apple red paint job it has, thus: "Red Bridge"
I don't particularly care what a public servant has done, I'm very sick of public works projects being named after people.
It's along the greenway and very quiet and peaceful - or used to be. Hardly anyone except maybe a few fisherman of a weekend night. Hardly a zombie or cop or working stiff in sight. It was wonderful to just head down there and to relax some.
As for EPD, they seem to be preoccupied flash-banging the wrong houses with their no-knocks lately.
i dont remember exactly why he said that, and i dont talk to my x wife, but i think it had something to do with trying to throw them(the officer) "offguard"
He fights in the guns and hoses games and he beat a cop pretty good, after that some tickets came his way. Memories fade slow.
This time they went after a firefighter who just waved at them. Maybe officer eagle eyes thought he flipped him off? Sorry, that's not against the law, either. Of course his attitude changed a bit when they found out he was a government employee, like himself. Face it, this was just another instance of profiling and jacking up someone because they could. I guess waving is a crime in Evansville. Just like watching TV and having your front door open.

Damn. I could see you being right, but I hope you're wrong. Otherwise that cop needs a new job. Flippin' burgers, maybe?He fights in the guns and hoses games and he beat a cop pretty good, after that some tickets came his way. Memories fade slow.
