(2/13/13)
– IE Transit Talking Points Short
When
major highways get shut down by the police, there will be
inconveniences for motorists. Yesterday afternoon (2/12/2013), armed police
forces screened every motorist leaving the San Bernardino Mountains
along each of the mountain highways which led to massive traffic delays. This was
clearly to keep fugitive Christopher Dorner
from escaping the area. People headed up the mountain were turned
away. The afternoon manhunt, which was broadcasted live all over the
nation, all afternoon, led to an evening fiery cabin inferno near Barton Flats.
The
Transit Coalition wants to get Southern California moving, and
police-related road closures often appear to do the exact opposite.
However, with getting Southern California moving comes another
fundamental American principle that must be respected: Life, liberty
and the pursuit for happiness. If the police need to shut down roads
to protect lives, that’s something all motorists need to accept.
Sitting idle in traffic is an inconvenience, but when lives are at
hand, such delays become meaningless.
Will you be willing to sacrifice some convenience so that life can be protected? Let’s continue to support law
enforcement in their heroic efforts to save Southern California officers and the public from the cowardly acts of Dorner.
