Yep,

Man charged in Florida movie theater shooting over texting had praiseworthy police career

WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. – A Florida sheriff says a retired Tampa police officer's praiseworthy career doesn't offset the severity of the charge that he shot and killed another man after an argument at a movie theater over texting.

"The sheriff said at a news conference that Reeves' son — who was off duty from his job as a Tampa officer — was walking into the theater when the shooting happened. Nocco said Reeves briefly struggled with an off-duty deputy but released the weapon. The gun was jammed and unable to fire again."

Tepper ordered Reeves, 71, held without bond on a charge of second-degree murder in the death of 43-year-old Chad Oulson on Monday. An argument over texting in a movie theater ended with Reeves, a retired police captain fatally shooting Oulson, authorities said.

So let me get this straight, the off duty officer who struggled with the shooter was the shooter's own son?

Reeves to other cons: “He disrespected me with the popcorn, so I had to kill him!”

Other cons: “You’ll do all right in here, bruh!”

Any odds that at least 6 of the 7 in strips to the right of the ex cop in that photo are there on drug charges?
