This one is a good one:
An investigation was under way Monday into a deputy-involved shooting in which a Spring Valley woman was shot by a deputy who was checking her backyard for a masked man.
The reasoning behind the shooting:
Gore said the deputies thought Orey’s open gate looked suspicious, so they went into her backyard. The deputies ran into Orey, and one of them had a "spontaneous reaction."
Where I’m from, that’s called a Negligent Discharge. When it strikes another person, you or I would be held criminally liable for negligence. This man obviously violated 2 of the 4 rules and shot an innocent woman in the chest, who was unarmed, and had nothing in her hands.
Have no fear though:
Morgan said he believes the sheriff’s department is downplaying the shooting.
Of course they would, heaven forbid they admit that the anointed were criminally negligent. Surely they will not fire that officer either, instead he will receive “extra training”. Probably in some Panama City sailor want to hump hump bar.
Here’s the thing folks. Yes people are human, yes people make mistakes. But there is no calling a bullet back, there is no undoing shooting someone. So if you screw up like that, you damn well deserve to go home permanently at a minimum.
Negligent discharges can and doe happen. I am guilty of just such an offense. The thing is it requires two rules to be violated to plug a person. That is unacceptable and non-negotiable. Go work at McDonalds sir because frankly you have no business being a cop.
State Sponsored Criminal #394: Officer John Doe
Because when a woman identifies her as a home owner as you are prowling her property without informing her you are doing so, you method of informing her should be a rapid deployment of hot lead into her body.
