(2,086 posts)Re-read the posted article: a "routine business check" is NOT responding to an alarm, but don't let facts get in your way. Continue to insult us with your fabrications. We're not stupid, pipoman, but your fabrications are. Lame, agenda-driven, deceitful propaganda.
BTW, no one here has claimed the cop was wrong. We suspect it, of course. But we want facts, not your spiteful lies.
Have you ever read Bill Jordan's "No Second Place Winner"? It's a primer on surviving "gun-fights" by a 30 year Border Patrol veteran, inventor of the "Jordan" holster.
In it he describes another officer, I believe a Texas Ranger, who killed a man whilst on duty. The killer-cop's explanation for the lack of a weapon was that it had slid off the bridge where the killing took place into the Rio Grande.
Bill then slyly mentions that he took a walk along that bridge with a confiscated gun in his shirt pocket. As he leaned over the railing, the gun slipped from his pocket and plunged into the river.
The next day, as officers investigating the killing "drug" the river looking for the dead man's reported weapon, they retrieved a large number of weapons from that spot.
Clever and "humorous" anecdote explaining how a killer-cop got away with murder. This book was written prior to his retirement in 1971 and was a "must-read" for cops when it was released and is still very popular with cops and "quick-draw" experts.
The victim of this shooting reportedly, by the police spokesman, had a gun. Maybe so, or maybe the cop that killed him read Bill Jordan's book of advice on how to kill, and how to get away with it.
