As I was driving into town in the morning, I saw a cluster of at least 10 deputy sheriff and Durango police SUVs escorting an all-black bus heading the opposite direction. The bus wasn’t like a large tour bus, but the size of the shuttles at the local ski area.
All the cop vehicles had lights flashing, a couple blaring sirens. Was this really necessary? Ten escorts? Lights and sirens? What are they doing–calling attention to some VIP going to the airport?
There was hardly any traffic or other impediments. Did they think a few stoplights would make M. VIP late for their private flight? Surely they weren’t going commercial–there are no first class sections on planes flying out of the Durango-La Plata Airport.
My tax dollars, hard at work.

Well my first guess is that it was Lauren Boebert, a not very bright, LOUD, pushy, person trying to make a big splash by saying she was going to “SHAKE THINGS UP IN CONGRESS” on her first day there. But then it could also have been Adam Frisch, sadly, running behind, trying to unseat her~!

We do elevate security to an almost ridiculous level. And it’s so obvious that “here’s somebody important, let’s make them a target.” I wonder what our early presidents would think about it.

Oh yes, but even having all that security guarantees nothing. Even Reagan would tell you that!

Overkill. Totally unnecessary. That bus would have gotten where it was going in almost the same time even without an escort. Surely one or two police vehicles would have been sufficient.

No kidding. It’s frustrating to see our hard-earned dollars wasted this way.

Sometimes I do think our emergency personnel have too little to do, given the number of vehicles that rush to the most minor of incidents.

While they are busy doing nonsense like this, they somehow don’t find a way to go where they are actually needed…

I don’t know if they choose a detail like this or they get ordered from the top.

Interesting. I wonder who it was? Maybe it was a criminal!

I gave that some thought, but this bus was limousine black. Not a prison bus! Not a marking on it to identify it, either.

Some VIP then.

I would think most celebrities like to be the center of attention. There are probably some who don’t but my guess is they’d be in the minority.

Then there are those who violently oppose being seen and pestered by media and fans. They don’t make much sense to me.
