Ahhh… Pride month in North Idaho. Inclusiveness abounds. I mean, just ask the guy that posted the signs around Coeur D Alene City Park telling people to beware of the pedophiles at Pride in the Park. You can take the Nazis out of Coeur D Alene, but you can’t take the Coeur D Alene out of the Nazi. Or something like that.

But there’s none of that bigoted baloney down at the Post Falls Police Department. They are celebrating Pride Month in full force. And one of their officers is taking it from behind with the brute force of a truck driver. Check out this recent CDA Press headline:

“POST FALLS OFFICER REAR ENDED IN PATROL CAR”

Wowzer! In his patrol car. Holy Cow. I knew North Idaho Law Enforcement had turned the corner and was now rainbow friendly, but rear-ended in the patrol car? That’s taking it to a whole new level.

According to the press, “Post Falls Police Officer Ryan Dalke received an unexpected jolt on Monday during an unlikely time.” I’d say so!

So who is this culprit that gave Ryan an unlikely jolt? None other than a big burly truck driver. Now that’s doing it Idaho style.

It’s OK boys. Don’t be ashamed. Brokeback Mountain has already let the world know that manly man on manly man rear ending is perfectly acceptable. You don’t have to stay in the closet of your single wide any longer.

“lights and sirens were activated”

The Press also reported that Dalke’s “lights and sirens were activated”. I bet they were! You go Officer Dalke!

Here’s a video of a couple of Dalke’s partners cleaning up the mess after the incident.

“WORTH SNIFFING ABOUT”

In other Pride Month news. Bailey and his partner Jim Dooley, have a new butt sniffing contraption. You remember Bailey, he’s the one that dressed up for Pride Month a few years back – A real pioneer in North Idaho Law Enforcement’s acceptance of The Gays.

Now Bailey is taking his Pride to a whole new level. Jim and an Eagle Scout (You remember how much Wolfinger loves the gay scouts) put together a contraption with different smells from men’s butts. All the guys down at the station, along with a few inmates, chipped in samples to make it happen. The goal? To help Bailey distinguish the smell of a good guy from a bad guy. If it’s a good guy (you know, the cops), don’t bite. If it’s a bad guy (you know, citizens) maul their arm off. Here’s a photo of the contraption from the CDA Press:

The second contraption, you know the one with the oddly shaped white pipes? We’re not sure what that one’s for. Apparently Deputies were told to just bring it directly to Wolfinger’s office and then he shut the door and pulled the blinds.

All in all, a year of progress in Idaho Law Enforcement. They are out and they are proud. From the guy ticketing your car for staying a minute too late, to the guy beating the shit out of you for smoking marijuana – you can rest assured that they are gay friendly. If you are a woman holding the hand of another woman, they will no longer taze you – at least for being a lesbian.
