Justice, farmer style: Man crushes police cars

Last updated 10:42 03/08/2012




CRUSHED: The Orleans County Sheriff's Department has lost five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles after a farmer allegedly crushed them with a tractor.



Authorities say a US farmer, angry over a recent arrest, used a large tractor like a monster truck, destroying seven police cruisers parked outside a sheriff's office.
Police say 34-year-old Roger Pion, of Vermont, was taken into custody shortly after the episode . It happened outside the Orleans County Sheriff's Department in Newport. No one was injured.
Police say Pion was angry about his arrest last month on charges of resisting arrest and marijuana possession.
A phone number for Pion can't be located and police don't know if he has an attorney.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Phil Brooks tells The Burlington Free Press that Pion crushed more than half the department's fleet: Five marked cruisers and two unmarked vehicles, including a van.
One witness estimates the tractor's rear tyres were 15 feet (4.5m) high.
See a video of the aftermath below (warning, explict language).

I hope the people in this town dont' buy new vehicles for these cops. They should give them some bicycles to ride and tell them to kiss a farmers ass when they have th opportunity! Ha! ha!

They will get new shiny APC's just off the line. Grenade launchers along with 50's included.

They would have got new ones anyway

At least he had the satisfaction of crushing them and more importantly he did something that is rarely done.

Strike fear into the Bacon Brigade.

Wanna bet a few of them look over there shoulders nowdays

Wanna bet a few of them will think twice about busting a simple joe on weed possesion

It wont last long ......... but at least it gave them pause.

Hat tip to my man.

around here the feds give the little town close to me new cars every couple of years . we only have three full time cops . most of the time it maybe days before you see a cop . we have more volunteered cops then real ones

[Kliopeion]

sounds an awful lot like poetic justice to me.

for the farmer - i doubt his insurance will cover the damage to the cop cars.

Now that I think about it, this man should be praised as a hero by the police and the government. He was merely taking his lead from Obama's "cash for clunkers" program, in which perfectly good vehicles were destroyed to increase demand for new cars, thereby stimulating the economy. This was no act of rebellion, it was a carefully thought out exercise in Keynesian economics.
