Please quit shooting us.
Ice Tea
I used to hate Ice Tea, and I really do hate all that music, but you know what..?
NOW I UNDERSTAND.
Now prosecute.
He may end up owning that town.
That was the second person the officer shot in his two years on the force.
He was fired after he fired?
And he was promptly rehired by DHS.
Progressive Liberal mentality has ruined our Country.. Our excitable dogs and elderly relatives with dementia are no longer safe around fearful, trigger happy police officers.
In all honesty, 93 years old or not, whatever this cop’s record, the lady did fire first (if the reports are to be believed). If a person shoots at you, you have the right to defend yourself.
Her nephew - who called the police - said she was enraged because she failed the driving test at the DMV. When she got home, she took out her gun and began threating to kill him (the nephew) and he called the police.
He says she fired two shots at the cops before they fired at her.
So let’s get a grip and wait for the investigation to be over. A 93 year old can kill you as much as anybody else can. We had an incident here where a crazy old lady in her 90s blew away the grand-nephew who was caring for her, a wonderful man who had a great family and worked for the local college. She was just nuts and got annoyed about something. He called the police but it was too late and he was dead when they got there.
Just because she was old didn’t mean she couldn’t have killed the nephew, the cops or anybody she fired on.
I saw one report where she got off a couple of shots first. It will be interesting to see which story proves out.
She was carrying the gun and had threatened to shoot her son unless he returned her car keys. When the officer told her to drop the gun she fired twice into the ground before the officer fired at her. He could have used a taser instead.
I think it should be made clear to a LEO when hired, that his job was to protect ALL citizens, black, white, yellow and green. The young and the old and even the crazy’s and the criminals. And to do this without killing them.
If a cop killed a person, even in self defense, he or she wound be fired. It ‘s the cops job to be able to handle and defuse a situation, not to escalate it. If a cop can’t handle this, then we need to replace him or her with one who can.
So if your life in danger (the cop’s), go ahead and kill the perp. Knowing that you will lose your job... (still better than getting killed)
They need to have some skin in the game...
This was a crazy lady who had a death wish that day.
Some of the comments on here are absolutely ignorant. o one has to meet deadly force with less lethal...period...none of you would...neither should police officers...
I am rabidly anti-thugcop. But according to the article, she shot first. If so, this was a good shoot by an officer and an idiotic move by the town.
The perp's own nephew says she fired at the officer.
I read a summary of this yesterday.
The son says the old woman fired two shots at the cops before they shot back.
Is that true?
The cop should have done a tuck and roll, then shot the pistol out of her hand from the prone position.
Did they stop teaching that in mall ninja school?
I hope he sues their asses off and owns that crappy little town full of Third World PsOS.
