Yeah...and that's the problem. Because if Joe Average shot at a few fleeing teenagers who knocked on his door and ran, he'd probably be sitting in a cage by now. And GD would be whining that he was protecting his castle and should not be charged. And thats the problem. Those are not incompatible statements. I think more latitude should be given to those with legitimate claims of self defense. That being said, I don't see much here to make a claim for self-defense, legitimate or but. But there is no doubt that if I did the exact same thing, I'd be in jail now. Whether I should be or not is a legitimate point for debate, but the consequences of my actions in the real world are not debatable. |

New Jersey state trooper chased after three unarmed teenagers and shot at them early Sunday after they accidentally knocked on his door, officials said Wednesday.
... As they drove away, the trooper gave chase and fired at least three shots at them, with one hitting the car’s front tires. ... Barreau remains on active duty and hasn’t faced any charges. View Quote Held to a higher standard ... |

Quoted: The arrest and charge normally follows an investigation, doesn't it? Or is always like on TV, where the home owner is arrested and charged as soon as the cops show up? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: If there was ever a case study example that personifies the thin blue line, it would be this. If that same trooper responded to a similar call and the homeowner/shooter was not a cop, you know shit would be immensely different. The guy would be arrested and charged with multiple counts of attempted murder. But since it's a cop, we shouldn't rush to judgement. And people wonder why the law abiding no longer trust law enforcement. The arrest and charge normally follows an investigation, doesn't it? Or is always like on TV, where the home owner is arrested and charged as soon as the cops show up? |

How is it irrelevant? I asked where did you read investigation was over? I think that's very relevant when it comes to a one sided news article. If case is closed then its over and no charges will be filed, then I could possibly understand some view's here that come across as anti-law enforcement. On the other hand, If the case is not closed, then there is possible looming charges for the off-duty officer or the kids. Perhaps we should wait till the investigation is complete and all the facts are out there??? |
