An old school acquaintence of mine is on the local force. He has the nickname "Crazy Cop" because of his tendency to esalate every encounter. He recently put himself in the hospital doing a kick-in at a residence on a "disturbance" call. You guessed it-wrong house. There was an elderly woman inside who could not hear the cop pounding on the door, so he drew his weapon and performed an unsupported dynamic entry. Had he not shattered his leg in the attempt it could have gone very badly for an innocent woman. In the end there was no disturbance to be found, and the whole incident was written off as kids playing. I'm still trying to figure out what sort of "probably cause" the injured officer was operating under.
That was a heck of a kick to shatter his own leg. He needs lay off the steroids...
There are times when I think that cops watch too much TV and try to make their job just like it is on the boob-tube (or was, before I stopped watching...).
