Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Idaho rancher killed by deputies over a wounded bull.

Jose Guerno in Tucson. Swat claimed he fired at them. Next day they admitted his rifle was still on "Safe".

The 72 YO Homeowner in Ft Worth the two rookie cops shot when THEY were at the wrong address. Initial claim was that he was killed in his DETACHED garage after they saw lights in it. It took a week before they admitted that he was only a couple steps outside his backdoor, which opened into his ATTACHED garage........ basically an extension of his home.

FYI.... I supported the cop in the Ferguson shooting since it was IMMEDIATELY reported that the guy's blood was found INSIDE the cruiser.

You need to quit believing everything 4ager says about other members.

"But this one sounds like a stinker."

4ager and RWE will be on your ass shortly for "guessing".

I don't jump into the cop bashing threads mainly because I'm a Kentuckian and the police here generally behave in a manner that I deem appropriate. In many ways Kentucky is a closed society and the police in Kentucky are a part of it.

But this one sounds like a stinker.

I'd say that small rural communities need to make a special effort to comprise their police force from members of the community.

Doing so would go a long way towards eliminating situations like this.

In the big cities, you've got big city stuff and the police are necessarily going to have to be hard asses to do what they're called upon to do. Occasionally, bad things are going to happen as a result of that.

But these little rural communities need to work hard and pay what it costs to have police who understand the society,..who know that society that they're working in, and to react in an appropriate manner.

Forensic tests have found the blood of Michael Brown on the gun, uniform and police cruiser belonging to Officer Darren Wilson, who fatally shot the unarmed teen two months ago in Ferguson, Missouri, The New York Times reported.

The revelation, provided by unnamed government officials familiar with a federal civil rights investigation, marked the first public account of Wilson's testimony to investigators.

That it could potentially serve as exculpatory evidence -- or at the very least, used by Wilson's supporters to back the officer's account of what transpired on Canfield Drive on August 9 -- immediately drew suspicion and anger from leading activists who portended an ominous reaction from Brown supporters.

It WAS reported immediately, but not confirmed until forensic testing was done.

I can't keep all the players straight.... are you a cop, or cop suck up?

Were the deputies involved in this incident hired away from NYPD or something? I can see a basis for some cultural differences and/or misunderstandings in that event.

I don't know. Earlier, some of the discussion seemed to indicate that the deputies were not from the area.

They probably suspected the rancher was a constitutionalist, which in the minds of the police means dangerous. That's what they teach them nowadays.

All police or just some? Where?

Where does that subject get taught? The Academy in your area, I assume? When did you see their syllabus?

And I'd say it's a relatively safe bet that they're locals.
