I am glad for Mr. Turley. The officer should have been more judicious in identifying his target. I thoroughly appreciate the situation the officer was in, but he should have reasonably expected the homeowner to have been protecting his property. IMHO the officer was in a practical, no-win scenario and could have eased the situation by announcing himself prior to using his service weapon.
I don’t know about that area, but law enforcement here (Adams County, Colorado) has been known to call people to let them know that there’s police activity in their areas.
I’d be surprised if the enemedia doesn’t open the story with, “Bloodthirsty Gun Owner Attempts to Murder Police Officer While Searching For Suspect.”
But, the day is young....
Lucky cop. Very lucky.
I don’t know about that. This happened in Owensboro Kentucky which is a very very conservative area full of people with common sense.
An officer who doesn’t identify himself and shoots willy nilly needs to be fired and brought up on charges.
