In a sane society, he would have been given a medal. He should own the police department.

What?.....he tried to scare off a thief, and now he's lost his health, his home and all his possessions....plus a kidney.....and spent months in jail.

Surely there's more to this story.

Obviously a whole lot of details missing on this.

Given, that “warning shots” are ALWAYS a BAD IDEA ...anyone know how firing 4 shots into the ground resulted in apparently multiple (104 years!!!???) felony charges??? Also, what were the circumstances that led to this gentleman being shot by a police officer? (I’m thinking that maybe the felony charges were made in order to protect the city/county because their officer may have used excessive force. Of course, the shooting may have been entirely justified since there is a lack of sufficient info in the article.)

More details are essential before any opinion can be reached. However, given that the Boyz-N-Blue shot first, it may well be that they are responsible for the actions consequential to their shooting.
