Michael Salafia, 30, of 64 Whitewood Drive, allegedly got out of his car with a chainsaw while at a red light and approached another driver, Farmington police said. As Salafia was advancing on the other driver, who was a black male, Salafia started the chainsaw and began yelling racial slurs, reports said.

Luckily, in CT your chainsaw has a 10 ml fuel limit....

Looks like the carrier did good...sounds like the other guy was just having a bad day...I don't think I would have called the cops myself...(who has not charged after a person with a chain saw, right?---only on Halloween for me w/o a chain of course)

The most stupid thing about the entire article is the way its reported. All written up nice and pretty with a picture of a police car right there with it. And the picture is captioned-- Police Car.

Do people in that part of Connecticut need to know what a Police Car looks like and see pictures of them to be reminded?

Good catch ! Many people in CT are pretty stupid (remember the stupidity of the avg person ~ I think that the shoved many of the 1/2 that are more stupid than avg here in CT). I do try to edumacate them on election day though....some get smarter and some stay stupid.

So the answer is yes, many people in CT, IMO, would need that caption.
