This week’s cop glorification filler piece

The print media is our last hope, when they leap into bed with the cops and do their bidding, we're all screwed

Fairfax officer honored for traffic safety work

Examiner Staff Writer

Joe Moore knows Fairfax County residents spend a lot of time in traffic. (Even though like 80% of the force Moore probably doesn’t live in the county….now there’s a story)

For the past nine years, the county police officer has been trying to make them safer while on the roads, and his efforts appear to be paying off.  (Because……………………………..why? )

Moore was recently named the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police's traffic safety officer of the year. (Is this why?) And, he says, the number of traffic fatalities is going down  (Prove it) while the number of citations written is going up as cops crack down on distracted-driving offenses. (No, no, no, wrong, wrong, wrong. The cops, almost 2000 of them with a $225,000,000 budget, an air force and a navy, have nothing else to do but to prey on the real citizens of Fairfax County )

As a member of the department's motorcycle squad, Moore has led educational and enforcement initiatives in what he sees as the one of the department's most important divisions. (Wrong, Moore’s job is to sit around on his government worker ass until we need him, that’s all we want him to do…… educational and enforcement initiatives are the work of elected officials not the cops)

Traffic is "the number one complaint from citizens in this area," he said. (Cops lie. Prove it)

But the overabundance of cars on the roads also means there's plenty of unsafe behaviors, and that's what Moore is trying to curb.

He has developed distracted-driving enforcement training for fellow officers, (A dangerously broad term “distracted-driving” Cops lie) worked on county and nationwide "click it or ticket" campaigns and hit the streets to cite distracted motorists. Over the past year, he has helped lead a Fairfax police initiative that issues tickets to drivers who don't "pay full time and attention" to the road, which can include behaviors like texting, talking on the phone and eating.

"It's become so commonplace that while you're behind the wheel, that you use that time to get other stuff done," said Moore, who called distracted driving an "epidemic." (Cops lie. Prove it)
