Cause everyone charged with a felony carrying a 9 year sentence is released on their own recognizance. Some animals are more equal than others I guess.
This was a huge story in San Diego...I believe these charges are the correct one.
Okay...
He shot an 8-year-old boy and he’s only serving 9 years? What did they do, throw a sci-fi novel at him?
Poorly written Headline.
Bad headline or not, this animal belongs in a cage.
Let’s see. He’s a cop. His wife is a dispatcher. The ‘victim’ chased him and his wife with a vehicle. The ‘victim’ was drunk. The ‘victim’ tried to run him down, and that’s when the shots were fired.
Oh, wait, he’s a cop, and this is FR, home to a bizarre number of people with a Pig Complex.

BTW, I'm surprised he didn't find a dog and an old lady to wantonly kill while he was at it.
Outrageous. So his car got a dent. Obviously someone deserved to die for that. Doesnt matter if its a woman whos not in her right senses, and her kid who is not at fault at all.
Does this turd think that he can kill anyone who p*sses him off? 9 years? He should have been charged with attempted homicide, or manslaughter at the very least!
Shameful!
197. Homicide is also justifiable when committed by any person in any of the following cases:
1. When resisting any attempt to murder any person, or to commit a felony, or to do some great bodily injury upon any person; or,
2. When committed in defense of habitation, property, or person, against one who manifestly intends or endeavors, by violence or surprise, to commit a felony, or against one who manifestly intends and endeavors, in a violent, riotous or tumultuous manner, to enter the habitation of another for the purpose of offering violence to any person therein; or,
3. When committed in the lawful defense of such person, or of a wife or husband, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant of such person, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony or to do some great bodily injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished; but such person, or the person in whose behalf the defense was made, if he was the assailant or engaged in mutual combat, must really and in good faith have endeavored to decline any further struggle before the homicide was committed; or,
4. When necessarily committed in attempting, by lawful ways and means, to apprehend any person for any felony committed, or in lawfully suppressing any riot, or in lawfully keeping and preserving the peace.
Is the use of an automobile against someone else likely to cause death or bodily injury? Yes or no?
What if I were to get into my car, slam it into reverse and head for you while you were seated in your car at a high rate of speed.
What would YOU do?
So this guy felt some rage. He fired FIVE shots! Not one warning shot, before he decides he should pump some serious lead into this car. And what was the “Incident”? Was he responsible for banging into her car?
The guy was looking at me like i was a mad man. LOL. He did not even run my ID ....just looked at me, looked at the DL in my hand, and just went back to his car and drove off.
Sounds crazy, but I'd rather spend an extra half a second turning on the lights in my car and putting my hands in the steering wheel than risk some Gestapo tactic from a human being who just happens to have a badge and a gun over me.
Tell me, what would you do in the same circumstance? Discuss it with her as she rammed your car? Channel the child that you don't know is there to jump? Allow her to careen out of the parking lot perhaps nailing a family of five killing all of them and the child? I KNOW. Call the cops? oh wait....
Much more equal. The wife would have been charged as an accessory since she didn't act to stop him, if it were a "civilian"; not that she wouldn't eventually be cleared, but they would pile on all kinds of crap like that to break the family financially and emotionally to get a plea.
I say cops guilty if she didnt block his car in.
Or maybe I should say any citizen would be guilty.
Good! I hope that he is convicted and gets all 9 years.
Out of control cop ping.
The post is an oversimplification of what the woman did and her background. (even the bleeding heart St. Atty Gen.) threw the book at her.
Find and read the entire story to this.
OTOH, if he wasn’t cop and if some drunk followed him and tried to run him and his wife down, and he defended himself with a legally carried handgun, what sort of bail would you set?
“Negligent discharge of a firearm??”
Tell ya what, aim your handgun at a patrol car and squeeze one off.
They will charge you with “Negligent discharge yada yada..”
Get real. They’ll nail you with something from the patriot act and you’ll never see the sun shine again.
