Officers with the Green Bay Police Department responded to a disturbance at a food truck at about 2:15 a.m. local time Saturday and were attempting to take some people into custody when a car drove toward bystanders and officers, prompting an officer to fire their gun.
The suspect then fled, which led to a short police chase that ended when officers did a PIT maneuver, a tactical move used by police to stop drivers.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
