Well, hey...it’s Sparta!
NJ Where gun control is for the peasants not the JBTs, and Fat Boy Christie likes it that way.
Yet another demonstration of why only professional law-enforcement personnel should be allowed to own firearms.
this cop is not going to be a cop much longer...shooting at a target that is not a threat to you is a big no.. no... he is lucky he did not hit anyone if they were driving away.....of course we only have the kids word that going to the door was a mistake in dropping someone off.
It hit both of them? Now, that's impressive.
Random people knocking on your door late at night/early morning, in a small town..
Yeah, my first reaction would be that the teens were up to no good. I’d have my pistol ready...
A modest proposal:
There should be an open season on teen hunting, say during the summer school break.
Set aside “protected wilderness” areas and if they wander off they’re fair game.
This will be a good socialization lesson- for the survivors, anyway.
Of course my lawn is always forbidden territory!
Two AM is never a good time to go around ‘knocking on doors’. That said, the officer may have overreacted. There is not enough information to determine that. I’m sure it sent a chill up their teenage spines seeing that red laser dot sniffing them out. Yikes! Scooby Do! If this was innocent, my guess is the kids were half drunk or high and sort of giddy from their Afterparty.
(*sigh*) How many idiots are in law enforcement these days?
White kids, no media hype.
I put up with some aggravating mischief, kids ringing my doorbell and running away. It never crossed my mind to shoot at them.
Out of control LEO.
Sparta NJ?
Not exactly surprised.
yep.
One of the teens, 18-year-old Jesse Barkhorn, said he and his friends were dropping people off after a party Sunday. They mistakenly knocked on the trooper’s door, having mistaken it for a friend’s house, around 2 a.m.,
...
Did this friend live alone, or were they going to wake up everybody in the house at 2am? Most teens these days would use the phone.
Police dogs and helicopters for knocking at the wrong door.
*SMH*
