There were two big developments Monday in the case of a motorist who was shot and killed along Greenwell Springs Road Friday after a fight with a police officer. Investigators say an autopsy shows the deadly bullet was fired by a bystander, not the officer. Police also announced that no charges would be filed in the case, either against the police officer involved or the bystander who fired the fatal shot into the head of George Temple.
East Baton Rouge Sheriff's spokesman Greg Phares says Officer Brian Harrision was escorting a funeral procession Friday when he pulled Temple over and wrote him a ticket for breaking into the procession. According to Phares, that's when Temple attacked Harrison. Police say Perry Stevens was walking outside of the Auto Zone on Greenwell Springs Road when he heard Harrison yelling for help. Harrison was reportedly on his back with Temple on top of him. That's when Stevens went to his car and grabbed his .45 caliber pistol.
According to Col. Greg Phares, "[Mr. Stevens] orders Mr. Temple to stop and get off the officer. The verbal commands are ignored and Mr. Stevens fires four shots, all of which struck Mr. Temple."
Perry Stevens fired four shots into Temple's torso. Officer Harrison had already fired one shot into Temple's abdomen. With Temple still struggling with the officer, Perry continued to advance toward the scuffle.
"He again orders Mr. Temple to stop what he was doing and get off the officer. Those commands are ignored and he fires a fifth shot and that hits his head. The incident is over with, and as you know, Mr. Temple is dead

“Meanwhile in Torrance the police can shoot a hundred rounds at two little old ladies in a pickup truck and only manage to get half of them on the truck and only two into one of the ladies.
In their defense, she was a small lady...”
Damned with faint praise - and How!
;-)
Hard of dying too. After the bullet behind the ear, he glared at the shooter with rage and TWICE attempted to get up to pummel him.
Ping to # 39—sounds like a tag line.
Now, it took 5 shots from a 45 caliber pistol to down him. What kind of drugs was he on?
Comment of the day.
Crew served?

“Hard of dying too. After the bullet behind the ear, he glared at the shooter with rage and TWICE attempted to get up to pummel him.”
D@mn, what kind of drugs was he on?
Colt 45 malt liquor?
I said that because I am glad the officer didn’t consider the guy saving his life to also be a threat to him, because he had a gun and had been firing it in his general direction.
Like many, many cops today would. These people are chasing dogs down that are running away from them inside houses, and shooting them to death. These are cops who run through someone’s yard, that has a dog out in the yard, and shoot the dog going through the yard. These are the cops who in NYC shot nine bystanders mutiple times, just standing in the same area a guy they actually wanted, was.
They generally shoot first and apologize to the living later. “OFFICER SAFETY” is generally now the 1st and highest priority and everything else be damned.
You come to the aid of a cop in danger and they you may very well be mistaken by the cop as a threat and shot by the cop.
Always carry your rifle/shotgun on a sling, and you’ll never leave it behind. Ammo, is a whole ‘nother matter...
Works every time.
Excellent point, which brings up the Mozambique Drill ditty:
Two to the chest
One to the head
Makes sure
They’re really dead!
Perfect.
Your words were nearly prophetic! lol
