Yet another knuckle draggin badgemonkey too stupid to
remember to keep his booger hook of the bang switch and
a coward to boot. So easily scared he shoots someone just
from being startled. A fine example of LEO’dom, a credit
to his “AHEM” profession....professional incompetents.
There has been too many aggressive deputies or police officers shooting up unarmed citizens!
They need to be sent to a re-education camp to learn how to use firearm safety! It is that obvious!
So what would have happened if she went ou into her own backyard with a pistol because she heard a noise, bumped into a cop, and shot him?
Do you think it would end with her saying “I’m sorry, you startled me”?
Even if the cop lived? What do you think would happen to her?
We need equal legal liabilities and results for cops and civilians in firearms cases, when the shooting was out of self-defense.
EQUAL.
There is ZERO reason not to have this equality, except the claim that an officer’s life is worth more than a civilian’s life. If it is - or if the law says it is - then let it be said OUT LOUD, for the public to hear.
I lamented the change from blue uniformed “protect and serve” police officers of my childhood to the blacked-out SWAT team dominination model that we have today. However, it’s not thier fault, but because of the amount of violent criminals who are let out of jail on short sentences or probabtion. When the COPs go downtown, they are in a war zone, and they have learned to respond accordingly. Unfortunately, these agressive tactics, training, and use of force policies do not translate so well when normal citizens are encountered.
The woman was very, very stupid for going outside at 10:30 at night after hearing noises. I am sorry she got shot, but she brought this upon herself.
The deputy was looking for a person wearing a ski mask at night and suddenly comes face to face with a stranger. His reaction is not surprising considering the circumstances.
Sounds to me that the San Diego Sheriff’s Department is already circling the wagons to protect this stupid Deputy Luke Berhalter. The problem for the SDSD is Jennifer Orey lived to tell her story and she’s going to have one nice lawsuit.
Criminal charges ought to be filed on this moron, Berhalter, but odds are the State’s Attorney won’t file. It will be most interesting how the Shooting Review Board will try to spin this to exonerate Berhalter. In the end, Ms. Orey is going to get a very handsome settlement from this shooting.
Maybe the time has come to defund police departments and the DA’s office. Let citizens handle the crime by themselves and no worries about being prosecuted when they do so. Could we do any worse than wounding 9 people before we get the bad guy?
Are they claiming she has super fast reactions?
The bullet went through her chest and her left nipple, into her shoulder and out her pinkie.
Ouch! Yhat arm is going to be seriously messed up.
LEO must have thought it was a dog. Those are free game.
No, the officer discharged his firearm.
Startled? Sounds like this hothouse flower is in the wrong line of work.
Better put some ice on that bump.
Wow... is her dog still alive?
It's a day or two later, this numbnut still drawing a paycheck?
Spontaneous Reaction > Training and Experience.
You know, the training and experience that make their testimony trump yours in court.
The LOSER cop HAD HIS FINGER ON THE TRIGGER! It would have probably been fine to have the gun in his hand, pointed down. But NOT to put his finger on the trigger until he was READY to shoot! Poor training! SUE HIM AND THE CITY!
N.W.A. had it right.
God bless her. God please help us all. What have we done to ourselves?
Sue him and his training officer.
