“The lesson here is… don’t pull a gun on a deputy”
When deputies start dropping like flies, our sarcastic answer will be: “Well, then, don’t pull a gun on a citizen! FU!”
I had a jack booted thug break into my home at 2 in the morning several years ago. They were lucky. Me too I guess. I had a pistol on top of the gunsafe at my bedroom door. I was “this close” to pulling it when I heard them banging on the door. Met them coming down the dark hall...Tried to tell anyone who would listen that the cop was crazy.
Want to know how crazy? Maybe a year afterward he pulled over two young blacks just outside the project. He got shot. The 2 were found not guilty. Why? Cause the cop was acting all crazy and they feared for their lives. Yep, shot a cop and got away with it.
Maybe it runs in the family? His brother was a cop in a neighboring town. Pulled his ex-wife over in the parking lot of a local business. Drug her around the lot by her hair. Big fist fulls of hair all around the lot. Then he shot her in the head. Then, he shot himself. Funeral with full honors. Cops and firefighters from all over the county came. Made me sick to my stomach.
Some here have questioned my disgust with law enforcement. This is just one of many examples. Personal examples
