Sgt. Dave Dillon says 47-year-old Penimina Sue had threatened his family Wednesday night and also threatened an officer with the piece of wood. The officer tried first to subdue the man with a Taser stun gun but it had no effect.

Dillon says the family called police because Sue was throwing items around the house and threatening to hurt people.

Moral of the story - Don’t go to a gun fight with a piece of wood. You’ll lose.

Amen to that. If you run from the cops expect a beat down, if you threaten the cops expect a lead injection.

He was either a mental case or wanted to die or both.

“When a man’s got wood, he feels powerful.”

Man, that’s the post of the day! The subliminal message in all the ED ads on tv.

One less Californian

Hey, good thinking slick.

Since California has more combat vets in Iraq and Afghanistan, maybe you'll get your wish and something will happen to them too.

You really ought to keep your stupid ass juvenile comments to yourself.

You are living proof, not all idiots are in California.

I guess you did not see the wink, jerkoff.

I was just joking around too ;)
