They got a bomb threat on Friday. This happened on Monday. How do you have the gall to claim anyone else of being intentionally obtuse? There was no threat.

Like I said, there's a million things here to criticize.

This supposed accident had nothing to do with the bomb threat. It's being used to cover up the death of a woman.

Okay, now this is an entirely different thing than the other stuff you've been saying. If you want to discuss that as a possibility then that's fine.

And yes when you keep saying they were responding to a threat you are justifying it.

No lol. An officer responding to a threat doesn't magically give them the right to run down bystanders.

Upon learning of the threat, police confirmed with Greene’s staff that she was not at the residence and assigned an officer to monitor the mailbox until the Rome/Floyd County Bomb Squad arrived, police said.

The bomb squad was notified shortly after 11 a.m. Monday and dispatched a team to respond to the bomb squad headquarters.

On the way to the headquarters in their personal vehicle, a Rome Police sergeant and bomb squad member collided with another vehicle driven by 66-year-old Tammie Pickelsimer.
