A) I'm from Crawfordsville. B) Did not know this guy. C) Past behavior is often a good indicator of present/future action/s. D) The hospital in Crawfordsville is less than ideal. He'd probably receive a diagnosis of a UTI and sent home anyhow. E) There is no ISP post in Crawfordsville (There is, apparently, a State Excise Police District office near the INDOT facilities, however)
This whole situation seems to suck. And I'm quite glad that I'm not any part of it.
Also) Just how is one officer, who is using his commission as cover/concealment supposed to somehow also stop traffic? Seriously. Think about it for a bit. How can that be achieved?
In theory, another officer who is aware of the location, would call out for other cars to block intersections.... but in midst of an active engagement, doubtful. Most officers nearby aren't worried about blocking traffic compared to reaching the scene to provide backup. And of course, it also depends on available manpower; which during the holidays, is quite likely to be at bare minimum (sometimes less).
