A Texas woman is being sued for injuries suffered by Harris County Deputy Sheriff Braden Pullen when he responded to her 911 call. The woman didn’t injure the Deputy. The man who was assaulting her did.
“It’s not that we’re unsympathetic to this woman’s plight,” said Pullen’s lawyer, Arnold Doltman. “But the fact of the matter is that she lured Deputy Pullen into a situation where he got shot. If she hadn’t called my client would never have been harmed. She didn’t explicitly say that her assailant was dangerous. There was too much screaming during her 911 call to clearly determine that. So, in our view she is liable for the Deputy’s suffering.”
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia insisted that this lawsuit shouldn’t deter others from calling 911. “Citizens are entitled to help in emergencies, but we’ve got to balance this against the risk to our officers,” Garcia declared. “Ultimately, the woman’s assailant was subdued by our officers. Her picking up the tab for Pullen’s injuries seems like the least she could do.”

Totally had me going until I was done and looked at the by-line.
The subject of Semi-News/Semi-Satire’s tongue-in-cheek piece is the reason why Shakespeare wrote the line “let’s kill all the lawyers.”
She didn’t explicitly say that her assailant was dangerous. There was too much screaming during her 911 call to clearly determine that.
Almost got me...
The trouble with these darned posts is that liberals have made virtually anything (anything totally idiotic and laughable, that is) appear to be a true statement made by our gubmit.
Doggone it, John. You got me AGAIN!
