Car lands on man sleeping in bed in Ct.
Ouch.

A police chase ended early Tuesday when the suspect’s car slammed into a house, coming to rest inside a bedroom and on top of a sleeping man.
The tenant, 34-year-old Michael Sweat, was pinned under the vehicle for about an hour while firefighters worked to free him, New Haven Police Officer David Hartman said. He suffered burns, but his injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said. ***

I doubt it came to rest on a sleeping man. A recently (and violently) awakened man, perhaps, but I doubt he was asleep.

If he slept through that then I'll have what he's having!

Said logo is on many cars.

In the 1960s, the term "pig" came to be used in derogatory fashion to describe police officers.

I'm glad they clarified that point for us.

We're talking about (1) Vermont; and (2) the BFP.
