The officer identified himself again and then fired a warning shot into the bushes,..........................I call BS. LEO's don't fire warning shots.

If that is how you define someone who refuses to have his opinions
provided by some self-appointed smart fellow then yep, thats me.

We all decry the media bias.. yet what is the talk radio spin but bias spun in the opposite direction?

Spin is spin. Left or right.

Someday when you mature a bit you may recognize this.

What are you blathering about here? It's a SPORTS TALK radio show. A very entertaining one too I might add.

Spin is spin. Left or right.

And stupidity is stupidity.

Someday when you mature a bit you may recognize this.

You could always just say what you did in the FReepmail, but NO that would make you look REALLY dumb in pursuing this.....you know the part where you said that you just "didn't like the medium"......

Translation: I've been owned on this thread and I've completely exposed myself

It just goes to show, Virginia may be for lovers, but Ohio is for retards.

Translation: I can't win an argument so I'll just insult instead. Oh wait, that's what I've done since my FIRST post on this thread. Ok so it didn't work, so I'll just run away.

I think he fired three warning shots into Foley.

Actually, I agree with you. He may have gotten shook up and accidentally discharged his gun. I don't have any inside info on this or anything, but an off-duty officer shot the guy three times in front of his house, after discharging a round into the bushes. There's something about the "warning shot" statement that raises my BS detector. It could be bad reporting, or it could be that the cop doesn't have his story down straight.

Not only that I just can't imagine an off duty cop even getting involved. However, with tin foil adjusted properly, I could see someone being taken down for hire.We are talking big league major bucks, betting, so on and so forth.

Agreed. When your best defense is fear or unprofessionalism, you're in trouble.

My emergency service background is firefighting, but it seems to me that it would make more sense to call in and report an erratic driver, then tail him until an on duty officer arrived. If a guy is off duty and out of uniform, trying to pull someone over is very risky. There's a very good chance you would be mistaken for a bad guy trying a hijacking.

Like I said, I don't have any inside information, and I'm not taking sides yet, but this cop better have something to back up his side of the story, or he could end up getting charged for assault with a deadly weapon.

You didn't. The first sentence was just to let the both of you in my reply know there were some details available. I should've addressed the second sentence to the other person. I apologize for my awkward dovetailing.

You only have the cops word for that intention to run him down. Notice, of course, he wasn't run down.

Wonder why he stopped shooting?
