I think it is important. Not that the cop needed to knowshe was already popped for DWI... but it does advise the reader that this could be a contributing reason why she was being approached that evening. She had to have done something to get this cops attention.LEO 229 wrote:Nelson_Muntz wrote:Do two guns make up an arsenal?That's a whole lotta maybes.
Just about as much as two "maybes" equals a "whole lotta" :lol:
Sorry sir, I'm back. Busy afternoon brewing one, bottling one, and tasting one.
Um, did I actually ever ask that question it looks like you are attributing to me? I don't seem to recall. Anyway, I stand by what I said in my original post. From the basic information given, in her shoes I would have been leery and suspect of an unknown, angry individual who seemed to wish to confront me. I don't think it would be to invite me for coffee and pie.
The details at the end of the article are irrelevant to the incident because there is very little chance that the off duty leo had prior knowledge of this particular person's history for it to be a factor in this particular shooting. After the fact is another story, when you are framing someone's character for a jury of their peers, or by a media trial. I don't dispute the history, only that it would not have been relevant to the action of following someone, confronting them and shooting (at) them for a road rage incident.
Would it also have been relevant to indicate in the article that the off duty leo had a history of abusing his spouse? (Hypothetically only)
Some people just have a bad attitude and do not see the good in others.marine dad wrote:Were you turned down for a police job or something?

They are the shining example of authoritarian figures we should all strive to be like. Hell, we should GLADLY lay down any and all rights we may have so they are able to "make it home safely"
i'M SURPRISED THIS THREAD HASN'T ALREADY BEEN SHUT DOWN, as my experience discussing such matters has shown me that those who would adamantly defend the 2nd ammendment have no problem pissing all the 1st if it doesn't fit the pc image they want.
We can all learn from this.... Keep on driving!!Do not confront a bad driver!Fair enough.
It takes time for the lab to run the test.Very interesting... is it significant that no charges have been filed? it is known that they did a blood draw on the woman at least, wouldn't they have at least charged that if positive? or do they wait and make all charges at once?
I find it interesting that someone who is driving on a suspended license (and maybe DUI) would be calling 911. sounds to me like she had some fear of personal safety.
can't wait to see how it turns out.
OK ....."He paints all LEOs with broad "bad apple" brush strokes. :lol:"
you sir, are a damn liar. please provide ANY evidence that i have EVER done the above, or admit you are a police apologists moron

"Were you turned down for a police job or something? You sure do have a love affair with cops."
are u an idiot or what? there was not one word in my post that was negative about cops
"The word of importance in this post is "another". Maye ( corrected your incorrect spelling, MAYBE ) a local community college comprehension class is in order. "Another" leo would insinuate two or more leo's should be caught and beaten with a baseball bat."
FINALLY, nitrovic, we agree on something. if you think the statement "another leo" implies in any way that i meant this should be done to ALL leo's, then you DO, in fact, need a local community college course in comprehension. glad we finally agreed on something. keep up the good work!
I did not read this whole thread and so I do not know if anyone mentioned it, but imagine as a CCW holder, you see a guy shooting at a women and her 8 yr. old son in a parking lot...
What would be the first thing you do?
I can only speak for myself, but suffice it to say, there would be one less LEO around.
Imagine your horror thinking you've saved someone's life from a BG, and lo and behold, you've just killed a cop.
How the hell are we supposed to know it's an off duty cop doing this???
Scary chit.
