Leave the celebratory gunfire to the Islamic nations.

Americans should be smarter than that.

After I read his name, I couldn't help thinking of this:

Damn stupid. Fortunately, it looks like his law enforcement career is cooked.

The Police were just doing their jobs, following standard procedure. There is no record of any policeman violating a citizen. /s

He has been relieved of duty with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

Good work if you can get it.

I heard this story this morning on the local news...

This guy is an idiot through and through...

And after all the PSA's we heard ad-nauseum before New Years about celebatory gunfire...I can't imagine this numbnut not getting lectured at his roll-calls before each shift since Christmas...

Max fine and punishment for him if I had anything to say about it...

New Years my wife and I have a nice relatively quiet evening, listening to all the fireworks outside, both on and ove the city limits of Houston (we live right on the border between county and city, on the city side)...

And through the rapid explosions and other aerial ohhhs and ahhhhsss....I heard what I can say from experience was gunfire...In our nieghborhood, not blocks and sometimes houses away...Our nieghborhood has turned into a high-precentage of rental properties over the last 20 years...

So I attribute the lack of knowledge and shear disobiediance of the law to the transient nature of those who choose to rent and stay only for a relatively short time in our neighborhood...

So sure we have made a few phone calls when we see someone breaking the law etc etc...But the enforcement is so overwhelmed, that unless the incident results in a fire, or someone getting injured or killed...It becomes a "yeah, let me get you name and number..." call...

Ricardo Piñeda, 27,

The name says it all. Firing guns at the sky is a traditional way of celebrating New Year's Eve and some other holidays in Latin American culture.

It use to be that at least one or two people were hit by falling bullets in greater Miami during those celebrations. I haven't been down there for many years, but at one time the Miami TV stations advised people who were outdoors in Miami to take shelter under bridges or in multi-story buildings with for a few minutes before and after midnight on NY's eve.

Wasn;t there a guy that actually managed to shoot himself a couple of years back using this technique?

Deputies later found a .40-caliber pistol and an AR-15 rifle in his car

His duty weapons?

Deputies also found several shell casings at the scene.

He is so busted.

Assuming they match his weapons of course.
