Three-year-old boy has shot and killed a one-year-old boy in the US

That just proves yet again that had the one-year old had a gun he could, have shot the three year-old before things got out of hand

We need more guns, people - it says so in the constitution, the bill of rights and the NRA handbook

An investigator who reviewed details of the shooting concluded that the deputy suffered a phenomenon known as "slips and capture".

Ok, I feel sorry for the cop . . . not the guy he murdered

The deputy replies, "F*** your breath.

I just saw this - did the piwannoy-esque septuagenarian chase the 44 year old and tackle him? He didn't break a hip?

Milwaukee driver hits and kills toddler, and is then shot to death

Milwaukee police say the driver of a van who struck and killed a 2-year-old has been shot to death at the scene of the accident. A teen who was not in the vehicle was also shot and died at a hospital.
Police Captain Timothy Heier says the accident occurred at 5:10 p.m. Sunday after the child ran into the street.
Heier said in a statement that the driver, a 41-year-old man, remained at the scene. Then he and a 15-year-old boy were shot. Heier said the teen was not a passenger. Reuters has reported that the 15-year-old boy was the toddler's brother.
Heier said the 2-year-old and the driver of the van were pronounced dead at the scene. He said the teen was taken a hospital, where he died during surgery.
Archie Brown Sr., 68, of Milwaukee, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the dead driver was his son, Archie Brown Jr., who had four daughters, including a six month old. Brown told the newspaper that his son bought, remodeled and rented out houses.
Brown said the 15-year-old boy shot at the scene was an innocent bystander. He said a neighbour riding in the van with son told him the teenager came out of a house near the scene and was trying to help when the shooting took place.
Police say no suspects are in custody. No further details were immediately available.

Why are they recruiting so many stupid white psychos as cops in the U.S. Is there some affirmative action policy for all states to employ redneck nutters as policemen?

Mind you, given they elected a retarded, semi-articulate illiterate as president I suppose anything is quite likely.

I suppose there's a limited pool of people who actually want to be cops and redneck nutter psychos are in that pool.

Man kills armadillo, but shot hits in-law
15 HOURS AGO APRIL 14, 2015 11:25PM
A US man shot an armadillo, but ended up accidentally wounding his mother-in-law when the bullet ricocheted off the mammal known for its hard shell.
SHERIFF'S deputies have told WALB-TV that 54-year-old Larry McElroy fired his 9mm pistol at the armadillo in the state of Georgia.
Deputies say the bullet killed the armadillo, but bounced off the animal, hit a fence, travelled through the back door of the mother-in-law's mobile home and the recliner in which she was sitting, striking her in the back.
McElroy's 74-year-old mother-in-law, Carol Johnson, suffered injuries described as non-life-threatening.
McElroy was about 90 metres away from the home when he shot the armadillo.

The Myth of ?Good Cops? | Filming Cops

[panama hat]

It just gets better and better . . . Money really is king in the good, old USofA

I hope the rich prick goes to jail for the rest of his life . . . which shouldn't be too long . . . but then, lo and behold:

Bates could serve up to four years in prison for the manslaughter charge.

You have to love it . . . murder an unarmed man lying prone on the ground, surrounded by cops . . . and you get four years max, more likely he'll never see jailtime

Tulsa’s Killer Is Sheriff’s Sugar Daddy

The volunteer cop charged with fatally shooting an unarmed man plied the sheriff’s department with trips and gear, former officers say.
The Tulsa deputy charged with manslaughter for fatally shooting an unarmed black man was the sheriff’s sugar daddy—treating him to exotic cruises and fishing trips—former officers with the sheriff’s department told The Daily Beast.

Volunteer cop Robert Bates, 73, made national headlines after authorities released a video of the senior officer mistaking his gun for a Taser and killing Eric Harris, 44, during a bungled sting operation. “Oh, I shot him. I’m sorry,” Bates can be heard on the police cameras after yelling, “Taser!”

Hours before the Tulsa County district attorney charged Bates with second-degree manslaughter on Monday, Sheriff Stanley Glanz defended the deputy—who is his longtime friend and served as his insurance agent and onetime election campaign chair.

"He made an error," Glanz told the Tulsa World. "How many errors are made in an operating room every week?"

Glanz also showed a Tulsa World reporter cellphone photos of him fishing with Bates, a millionaire insurance executive. "Bob and I both love to fish," he said. "Is it wrong to have a friend?"

Still, former officers with the sheriff’s department told The Daily Beast that Bates was a “pay to play” policeman. The businessman donated thousands of dollars worth of vehicles and equipment to the force.

“Bob Bates came on board because he had all this money,” one former reserve deputy said, adding that the sheriff and other higher-ups would “go on these cruises in the Bahamas and in Mexico all the time.”

“[Bates] foots the bill,” the deputy added. “The sheriff just gave him free rein because he was treating him right. He bought his way into this position.”

Another former full-time deputy said Bates was “getting glad-handed” around the office because of his wealth.

“This is your typical Southern good ol’ boys system,” he said, adding that before the shooting Bates planned to take Glanz on a fishing trip to Florida.

Major Shannon T. Clark of the Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office declined to comment on the allegations.

The volunteer was such a familiar face that when the TV show Cops came to Tulsa in 2008, producers asked if Bates was undersheriff.
“I’m not going to respond to that,” he said in an email to The Daily Beast. “His personal life has nothing to do with this story.”

Bates’s attorney, Scott Wood, said the sheriff’s drug task force was outfitted with surveillance equipment paid for by the volunteer.

“The contributions that he made, especially to the drug task force, has made a giant impact and led to drug arrests,” Wood told The Daily Beast, adding he was uncertain if Bates purchased the officers’ body cameras.

Regarding the luxury-trip allegations, Wood confirmed that Bates and sheriff’s department personnel vacationed together in the Bahamas. But he couldn’t say if Bates “paid their way there.”

“You have to know Bob Bates,” Wood said. “I know that he vacations in the Bahamas, I know that other members in the Sheriff’s Office have gone with him. But it would be like if we were college friends and we all said, ‘Let’s go there.’”

The volunteer was such a familiar face that when the TV show Cops came to Tulsa in 2008, producers asked if Bates was undersheriff.

“They were like, ‘Who is this guy? Is he the undersheriff or something?’” the insider recalled. “We said, ‘No, he’s just some new reserve.’”

Oklahoma watchdogs are questioning why Bates was involved in a deadly undercover weapons bust with an ex-con.

Bates could serve up to four years in prison for the manslaughter charge. And it’s not his only legal dilemma.

He is being sued in federal court for refusing to “vacate the premises” after selling his company, Robert C. Bates L.L.C., for tens of millions of dollars in 1999.

The new owner claims that when Bates finally left, he made off with “hundreds of files,” court records show.

Roger Crow, a fellow reserve deputy since 1982, told The Daily Beast that he sees Bates at monthly meetings and at the city’s annual fair.

He said the department warns reservists about drawing the wrong weapon in training videos.

“It’s a tragedy,” he said. “We’ve all gone through the training, but when it comes to what they call ‘the slip,’ when you think you’re harnessing your weapon—it happens. Even through the academy ... you think you’re pulling your weapon but you’re pulling out the Taser, unfortunately.”
