EOS complained earlier today that I hadn't posted any feel-good stories. So here's one, if you enjoy the mental image of a bunch of red-faced clown sheriffs

“But where’d he go?”
A drug dealer got away with 60 pounds of meth that belonged to the Riverside County Sheriff's Office this week after a sting operation went awry, officials said.
Undercover narcotics investigators were attempting to identify traffickers when they met a suspect around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
After the transaction, the suspect sped away from the officers with the meth, which has a street value of $150,000 to $210,000.
"The suspect failed to yield, and a pursuit was initiated. Due to the high speeds and suspect’s disregard for public safety, deputies lost sight of the vehicle," the sheriff's office said.
Really? They actually thought that the dealer would worry about public safety, and pull over to wait for the deputy dawgs to catch up with him? That’s hilarious.
