Nah, he’d probably enjoy that too much.

Someone’s been porking someone’s wife, I’ll bet.

Let a “civilian” do that and see if he’s allowed to walk away unscathed.
Yeah, right...

The story is a bit light on details, that’s for sure.....
And in a situation like this, I’m sure that they’ll never reveal what the whole deal was about.....

An Ozaukee County deputy has resigned after being charged with POINTING his LOADED handgun at a fellow deputy. bran·dish
1. To wave or flourish menacingly.
2. To display ostentatiously.
Call me ignorant. Pointing a loaded gun at someone is only 'brandishing'?

No, it is assault, loaded or unloaded.

Hmmm...Who knows what is going on? It was in a parking lot after dark. Lots of guns get pointed at people in that situation because it is a very uncertain, dangerous one. Without details, we cannot know who made what mistakes.
To: marktwain
Honest...I poked around to try to find a bit more detail.
This was the only report I could find...

Sounds like ‘command presence’ met ‘command presence’.
Glad there wasn’t a dog around.

I appreciate you posting the report. I was not criticizing you, I was pointing out that there is much we do not know here.
To: marktwain
I know you weren’t....
And you’re right....it seems that there is much that has been....shall we say....held back?

I remember back in the ‘70’s a Lake Delton, Wisconsin officer was wounded in the leg during a quick draw contest between two deputies screwing around.

I remember a couple of weeks ago, when an off-duty officer was working security at a local major gun show (where loaded weapons by the public are strictly verboten).
He was reclining in a chair when his rig got “tangled in the chair” and his weapon discharged with fragments striking both himself and a retired LEO.
“Just an unfortunate accident”
Case dismissed. Well, covered up.....
