Exactly!

I picked up on that right away. And to further add insult to injury these two idiots (with more than 20 items) were not even ready to check out in the first place.

We see that as the article indicates the husband was still out shopping for eggs.

The article also alluded to the idea the couple was on welfare. And that explains a lot. The entitlement mentality that idiots have that allows them to cut in line, or get in an express line with 20 or more items, and even holding up the line while hubby shops for even more food is beyond belief.

Unfortunately for this poor off-duty deputy, he over reacted and is now in trouble.

I've been in a check-out line, with more than 12 items inmy wagon when the CDC [supervising person who is monitoring lines and cashiers] and herded me into a speedy check-out lane. And variably a *legitimate-under-12* customer will come along behind me, and give me a dirty look, b/c I have more than 12 items. Oi!

The mention of * welfare* was made by the detective, IIRC...he's the one projecting.

Internal investigations are often pointless.

Please tell what appears to be gross stupidity is just your attempt at sarcasm.

Poor off duty deputy? This guy pulled a gun in public, in a store full of people...For what?

For a minor squabble at the checkout, the husband sees his pregnant wife is upset, sees a person who turns out to be a deputy whom he alleged "was in her face, yelling at her, in an aggressive manner, he steps toward him and the husband pushes back to keep him away"

The term, "Overreacting" would be the glaring understatement of the month.
