With my wife and I having a combined total of 59 years as a LEO, we've seen a lot and it's only been the tip of the iceberg.

If it was intentional with the person running over the ducks, Karma can be a really bad thing, and someday something will happen to them. If it was unintentional and they didn't see them, God help the rest of us.

I have to admit...had I witnessed someone intentionally running over animals (not saying this incident was intentional), I would really have to struggle to do the right thing. I commend the OP for simply venting, and not taking action that they most likely would regret.

You shouldn't be allowed on the road behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

Lucky you did not witness them running over someone's dog...

In either case, you don't belong behind the wheel of a motor vehicle.

It's time we started taking names and numbers.

Yeah, I'm mad as hell. It's one thing when you leave your left turn golf cart tail light on for two miles and every car that passes you has to slow down because they have no idea what you're doing. It's another when you wipe out a family of innocent ducks trying to cross the road.

Damn, it's not like they were trying to cross I-75 with cars going 75 mph. It's a freakin' 30mph zone.

Slow down...watch what your doing. Give a damn about someone other than yourself.

Thank you for letting me vent. I'm done for now (maybe)....
