Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.
Just the other day I was telling my daughter that EVERY time you hear about a criminal grabbing an officer's gun.......it turns out that the cop was a female.
Every time!
Wrong - it happens
"Police Officer Nick Sloan
St. Louis Police Department
End of Watch: Friday, Jan. 30, 2004
Officer Sloan was killed while conducting a narcotics operation on North Taylor. After observing a drug deal, Officer's Sloan and Keathly approached the suspect and were searching him, when the man grabbed Officer Sloan's service weapon and opened fire, striking both officers. Keathly was able to return fire, killing the suspect. Officer Sloan died at the scene, becoming the 154th member of the St. Louis police to die in the line of duty. Officer Sloan, 24, had served with the department for just over 2-years. He is survived by his 13-month old child and father Sgt. Terry Sloan, a 31-year veteran who commands the vice squad."
Just so we break your streak of "every time" here's a link to a male officer who had his gun taken and was later killed wiht his own firearm.
Maybe it's just something here in King County here's another male officer killed by his own gun.
Maybe it happens more frequently with female officers, I dont' know, but you couldn't prove it by the numbers in this neck of the woods.
