Complaining about a soldier's funeral procession?

Sounds like she had a formal complaint to me, esp. to the dicks that yelled at her for apparently no reason instead of calmy asking to stop I mean wtf grow up. The sheiriffs response doesn't make sense to what she even typed out. I wondering if he even read it. His whole reply was "how good he was", but her complaint had nothing to do with her "being inconvienced", but that some in the procession were causing danger on the road.

It doesn't matter if they were not in her lane. If a funeral procession rolls by no matter what lane you are in, you are suppose to pull over and wait til they pass no matter if it is a soldier or not. I agree about the motorcycles, they should have never gotten involved.

The escorts are basically traffic cops while en route. They have the right to stop, block and direct traffic.

Bitch should have heeded their requests.

Did you read your florida law?

There is a whole list of rules that goes along with it escorts. They train you and shit if you read the article you posted and you have to have an equipped vehicle for it. I willing to bet the motorcycle duo weren't trained or had properly equipped vehicles to act as "escorts." So them interfering with traffic was still as unneeded as me trying to pull someone over for speeding on my way home from work.
