CA:Rival campers who opened fire turn out to be sheriff's deputies
Los Angeles Times ^ | 26 August, 2013 | Robert Faturechi

Posted on 08/31/2013 5:23:49 PM PDT by marktwain

An apparent booze-fueled dispute over loud music between two groups at a Chino campground over the weekend escalated to the point where men from both sides drew guns and opened fire.

No one was hurt, but the two alleged gunmen have plenty to explain.

It turns out that the rival gun-toting campers were both Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies.

What did ‘roided out schmucks ever do to deserve the comparison? :-)

If I were given time off with pay I’d go camping.

No press release was issued about the campground gunfire. The Times learned of the incident through a source.

Brass trying to figure out how to cover this sh!t up and make it go away.

Pigs involved will get a well deserved wrist slap.

Guns should only be owned by police!

A few years ago at two in the morning heard a loud vehicle drive by our house to an empty lot, didn’t hear the vehicle come back down, we live in a semi-rural area.

Took my flashlight and .45 around the house looking and listening, saw/heard nothing. Came inside sat down to a bowl of cold cereal, I was somewhat wound up.

Before hitting the sack again heard tires spinning, now it’s raining. Opened back door heard loud music and voices (drunken)

Called troopers, not wanting drunk idiots wandering around my property middle of the night, especially with my younger daughters bedroom being on that side of the house.

Trooper showed up, turns out idiots were stuck, claimed no alchohol until they’d gotten stuck, so he took them into town (one of them was going to “spend the night” in the van) ,the other two had wandered down the driveway and listened to trooper and I talking before we discovered them so close.

Next morning, when I walked up to investigate, there was a van buried in mud to the axles with a bumper stick that read

STUPID SHOULD HURT

I sure as heck thought that was funny.

I think people who were not possessors of an official badge would be in much more trouble than the deputies are in.

They'd be in jail...The kops on the other hand get a paid vacation...

these local cops must not be getting any range time....looks like they could use some!

That might have been for the best. They would have killed each other off.

Will this be swept under the rug, do you think?

Is there anyone reading this who could possibly be surprised by this?

In addition to their criminal behavior, they can't shoot.

All they need is a bag of donuts and a dead dog to complete the picture.

And that would have been bad because?

I think the entire community would be safer if it had worked out like that.

Just good natured funning. The LAtimes excerpt doesn”t mention the music in dispute but I suspect it was all staged for a youtube video with the ever popular cop tunes:

I Shot the sheriff
but I didn’t shoot the deputy down

I fought the law but the law won
