My mother had a field day, and we ended up being part of the action with the DPS that got the trooper terminated. Apparently he had been assigned to the bridge because he had a history of inappropriate responses, and his regional supervisor agreed that the bruises on my arms from his hands and face from being slammed into the hood of his car were highly unprofessional.
