at the scene and a volunteer targeted by ROMNEY. The traffic volunteer

the f___ I was doing. We got the Olympics going on we don't need this

probe."

the left of the truck and then right in front of it -- and made a
right turn. Then, at the next intersection, where again there was no
traffic, he stopped and then went straight on through a red light. And
then, suddenly, a policeman appeared out of nowhere.
