Funny how your story is different from Recalls. Was he working security? As a security officer is he just suppose to wave at people leaving without paying their bill? If a officer steps in front of your car are you suppose to a) go faster, b) slow down or c) stop?

A few of the officers in Durham aside, I would put my trust in them over someone trying to skip out on a bill.

This particular cop was OFF DUTY. He was working security at an I-Hop just off I-395 on the late shift.

I know the parking lot very well. The cop had to go out of his way to get himself "in the way", and the driver has to maneuver a bit to "get out".

I fail to see the justification for a security guard shooting a passenger.

We had another shooting a few years back where a Prince George's County cop followed the wrong SUV from University of Maryland over here into Virginia. One thing led to another and the cop shot and killed the student driving the SUV.

The "forces of law and order" connived to hold the PG cop blameless although he was from out of state and had no business over here in Fairfax County shooting anybody.

The Commonwealth's Attorney who let that schmuck off also decided that Amir Ali Kanzi, the fellow who shot up a bunch of people at the CIA in 1992 was just a criminal. Actually, he was in the vanguard of what turned out to be the AlQaida operation that crashed a plane into the Pentagon.

They could do better, particularly in supervising cops as they cross statelines tailing people or in prosecuting Islamofascist terrorists. When it comes to shooting unarmed people in parking lots, ...... well, that's a whole 'nuther matter. We haven't eaten at I-Hop since that time, and you shouldn't either. The numbnuts they hire to guard their buildings will shoot you where you sit.

This is getting off topic, but if you are interested, here is the story:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/13/AR2006061301550.html

The evidence was compelling and overwhelming that the officer tried to get out of the wasy, the driver changed directions and increased speed, and hte officer shot when he got backed up against a car with the driver hurtling toward him.

THe only relevance that incident has to the Duke rape hoax is that on one side you have consistent facts, and overwhelming physical and eyewitness evidence, and on the other you have shifting stories changing as new evidence emerges, and not a scrap of credible evidence to back up the allegations.
