In 2003, he followed a robber out of his store, grabbed a pellet rifle from him and started hitting him with it. He also pulled a pistol and fired five shots at the robber's fleeing car in an attempt to disable it.

His 24-year-old son, Joshua Borklund, now is following in his father's footsteps. Just two weeks ago, the younger Borklund, who works for the new owner, got into a shootout with a robber in the parking lot. Like father, like son.

What a fucking dillweed: (from the article)

"Hoover's assistant police chief, A.C. Roper, recommends people comply with robbers' demands if they relate to stealing money or property. "Your life is more valuable than the money," he said."

What does he want?? Wait until the robber BEGINS shooting you or beating you to death to fight back?

Fucking "Chief" level cops....are they ALL assholes?

He wants job security so he wants the citizenry to take it up the rear.

I wouldn't cooperate with a criminal because they are going to hurt/kill you because you are a witness. You might as well fight back and take 'em down with you!
