I just love a happy ending. ***sniff***

[Pearls Before Swine]

Good result, but no mention of a grand jury.

Yeah, it’s ARK instead of a wimpier state, but it bothers me that in many jurisdictions, a citizen would have to climb a wall of doubt to prove it was justified self defense.

**Ding Ding Ding** Feel-good post of the week.

[Steely Tom]

Well, I certainly hope that trooper had his gun in a gun safe and a trigger lock in place before he used it to defend his family and property.

I'm sure if it had been John Q. Citizen that shot the burglar, there would be a lengthy investigation into the appropriateness of his use of deadly force. Any word when the burglar's family will sue?

[txroadkill]

bummer. I was a K-9 officer and had a retired dog named Helix as a family pet. I was on duty one night while my family was at my in-laws when two kids in the neighborhood decided it was a good time to break into my house. Guess what Helix was still really good at? My dispacher called me to tell me the police in my city needed me to come home and get Helix to let the two bleeding kids out of my hall closet.

where a burglar has been shot dead

A non-controversial police shooting. Though if the criminal entered an occupied dwelling wouldn't this be robbery rather than burglary?

[arrogantsob]

Maelstrom Circle? What an unfortunate name.

[Yo-Yo]

That’s what you get when you bring a foot to a gun fight.

[DTogo]

1300 Maelstorm Circle

The criminal obviously missed the warning embedded in the address.

[muawiyah]

Looks like Tony Soprano’s house ~ guy really, really, really should have checked the front!

Thanks to the burglar for his community service.

He has provided a much needed counterpoint to those who believe that burglary is a low risk profession.

Quote from one of the comments at the website.

“Go back to the Sheriff Tommy Robinson days...”SHOOT ‘EM FIRST, REHABILITATE THEM LATER”...To hell with their CIVIL RIGHTS. They shouldn’t have any rights when commiting crime!!!!”

[Jack Hydrazine]

Give that trooper an FR medal for taking out the trash properly. No range time needed for him! Pass go, collect 200 kudos from his fellow LEOs.

[Buckeye McFrog]

We just had a doofus in this area arrested for breaking in and stealing copper pipe from a house that belonged to a cop.

[balticseaviking]

I see that some of the FR’s are anti LEO, I have a story I was a LEO(federal) for30 years of course now retired and glad of it. In todays world, I would be in a gunfight once a week with the lack of respect out there. So those of you that think LEOs get off, go and apply and deal with the punks every day, put on your vest and hope you come home in one piece or at all. When I was getting close to retirement, my partner and I had to go and serve a warrant on a scum bag that was passing phony checks, we arrived at his travel trailer and he opened fire with a .30/.30, poor shot. Ran into the bush, then blind sided us, luckily he was up on a hill and the elevation made his trajcetory a bit off, he then ran into the bush again. I, how I did it, must of been the adrenalin pump jumped behind a rock, saw the SOB and fired, blew his knee clean off Remington.750 crappy rifle, if I had had my 30-06 he would have got one in the head or at least center body mass. Any how, guess what I had to go before a shooting review board that consisted of two just out of college males and some female dofus. They wanted to skin me and grand jury me and all kinds of B.S. The female started by saying “you know that the man you will never be able to walk correctly again?”, “I am sorry about that”, I replied. The three of them smiled thinking that I was truly sorry that the bastard that had tried to kill my partner and I was missing a kneecap. “I was aiming for his center body mass and if I had had my personal rifle he would be dead and we wouldn't be having this conversation.” It was found to be a good shoot. I believe the chief had something to do with that ruling as he was connected. Anyhow the point is that LEOs have a tough enough time of it even back then so give them some slack they have a tough enough job without couch potato quaterbacking.

If it was one of obuma’s “peeples,” he can now vote twice.

[Molon Labbie]

A hundred unsolved crimes cleared, a hundred future crimes averted, and hopefully his family line ends with him.
