Too much unanswered yet to voice an opinion either way. I think the lawyer is smart for waiting as well.

[traviskicks]

yea, it’ll be interesting to see what develops.

deputies knocked at the Baileys' door at 2706 Munford Ave. in east Stockton, following up on a code enforcement case.

Code enforcement?

[GSWarrior]

Who don’t police carry the same stuff postal carriers use to ward off dogs? Doggie mace or something?

[Politicalmom]

Because then they wouldn’t get their kicks watching the sobbing children.

People like that used to be called “Criminally Insane” and were usually blocked from civil service jobs, until that term became un-PC.

True, but I think we know enough to express an opinion about "code enforcement" in Stockton.

Sheriff's Office spokesman Deputy Les Garcia said about 11 a.m., deputies knocked at the Baileys' door at 2706 Munford Ave. in east Stockton, following up on a code enforcement case.

Deputies heard what sounded like someone inside running to the back of the house, and one deputy went around to the back, Garcia said

"Why would you take a shot at a dog when a 5-year-old girl is in close proximity?" he asked.

Because nothing, NOTHING takes precedent over officer safety. Nothing. Some people are more equal than others.

This dumbass is lucky the screaming child didn’t get him 50 pounds of pissed-off Rotty trying to crawl down his throat. And why did a code violation get this guy into his Starsky and Hutch mode when he thought he heard running? Did he think that he needed to go in hot pursuit of a dangerous code violator?

Sounds like another trigger happy cop.

I do hope the investigation is thorough.

Ordinarily I would give the officers the benefit of the doubt but for several years now law enforcement agencies have been encouraging their best officers to retire early (via harassment and other distasteful methods) and replacing them with blithering idiots. If an officer is capable of using common sense and is color blind said officer is not welcome on most forces. Just recently I had an officer that is a mexican woman accuse my wife (a blond haired blue eyed babe) of calling a young teen age illegal all sorts of racists names after the girl slammed her truck into our parked van that my wife happened to be sitting it. Because my wife is Caucasian the female "pig" automatically assumed that the evil white woman was a racist negating the fact that two of her brothers are married to Mexican women, my sister is married to a Mexican man and both of us grew up in southern Arizona. My wife has no gile in her. If anyone knows scripture you know proverbs 31:10 - 31. That entire section describes my wife. I am now pursuing reverse racial discrimination charges against the officer. My family has a long history of law enforcement from Washington DC to crossing guards and we truly do appreciate most of the men and women of law enforcement but lately... the globalists and moonbats have hijacked the criminal justice system.

JMHO

You have a split-second decision to make

No, you idiot. You make sure you know the target before pulling the trigger or it might be a little 5 year old girl... oh, never mind.

"Code enforcement?"

Possibly something about the trailer in the back.

[keat]

Just for perspective, my office is not too far from that neighborhood and, believe me, it’s no tree-lined paradise (Picture Cousin Eddie’s place from “Vacation”). And I guarantee the parents are no June and Ward Cleaver.

Having said that - this cop has no business being a cop. He should be fired at the very least.

Kari Bailey and Rutledge said deputies also asked about a trailer out back they said is being used in drug sales. Eddie Bailey said there's a trailer next door, not on the property he rents. That has the family wondering if deputies came to the wrong house.

You better mow your greyass beeotch...

What state are we talking about here?

Did anyone read the comments following the article in the source? It looks to me like these people could sure use some spelling lessons! I also found a lot of their replies to be downright nasty to the mother and child.

What state are we talking about here?

It's California - Stockton, specifically, which is kind of an armpit in some places.

You can chalk the spelling up to the great educational system.
