Live blogging the press conference:
Wayne Bennett, NY State Police Superintendent was asked by the press what the arresting officers said to the fugitive upon his capture. “They said, ‘Get on the ground!'” was the Superintendent’s answer.
The Fox affiliate reporter asked the Superintendent “What would you say to him if you could speak to him now?” “Nothing I can discuss with you here,” was the answer.
What great answers to those moron’s questions. Worse than a bunch of paparazzi – jeez!
CARROLL, N.Y. — Ralph “Bucky” Phillips suspected of shooting three New York state troopers — one of whom later died — was captured Friday night after more than five months on the run, New York State Police Inv. Gary Colon said.
Phillips surrendered to police around 8 p.m., walking out of a cornfield with his hands up. The end of the state’s largest manhunt came after a frantic day of searching that started with troopers firing at Phillips then squeezing him into a tighter and tighter hole just over the Pennsylvania state line.
Cheers went up at two state police barracks, one in Pennsylvania and one in New York, as news of Phillips surrender spread.
We’re glad to see this degenerate scumbag is in custody (apologies to bags with scum in them). God bless the cops — now I hope they go after the other scumbags that were helping Phillips hide.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell who is more intellectually challenged — reporters or career criminals like “Bucky.”
