[Clinging Bitterly]

It was reported in the regional media on Friday (before this incident) that she had obtained a restraining order against him.

Of course she had obtained the order against him in February, according to this report. At that point, he was supposed to be gunless. I wonder who didn't see to it he had turned them all in?

Since we have this law requiring the preemptive disarmament of unconvicted subjects of restraining orders, and as long as we have such laws, they must apply to everybody. It's been said somewhere that police officers, as a group, are three times as likely to commit a felony sometime in their life as the general population, and that they are much more likely to be involved in domestic violence, so if it ought apply to anybody...

Maybe courts ought to direct a search of cops' person and property at the moment a restraining order is served, since it's well known that virtually 100% of them have gunz. This is not the first time this has happened, and after Friday's report, I must say what happened Saturday does not surprise me.

I went looking for more info on this guy other than he had succeeded Moose, but I got darned little -- no picture, no age, no real way to figure if maybe there was some job-related stress here; trying to fill big shoes, that sort of thing.
