Holy WTF?!? Florida caretaker shot by officer

[Fmedges]

Not referencing any of the other shootings at all, but if this officer gets off than the good ol' boy network is alive and well.

I can only assume he had his finger on the trigger and was over-amped.

Some people are too jumpy to safety carry firearms. This officer appears to be one. So jumpy he let THREE fly...

Sounds like a ND pure and simple. Very glad the dude didn't die.

I read there is a settlement already in the works.

I was wondering how long it would take for a post about this. Florida is a dangerous place.

Florida is a shithole. As Daniel Tosh put it: "The only reason you should ever go to Florida is to identify your daughter's dead body".

Back to the topic, clearly and indisputably a bad shoot. You can guarantee there is an opening on the department and their pocketbook will be significantly lighter when this is all said and done. As to what caused the officer to shoot, well, we can speculate that until we're blue in the face. Ultimately could come down to lack of training, adrenaline, or a combination of the two.

No one knows, not even the officer.

Is that website bringing anyone else's computer to a screeching halt? I can hardly read the article, let alone watch the video.

foxnews picked it up http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/07/21...in-street.html

Thank you.

Still waiting for more info to come out of this that might help to explain it. I keep thinking there's gotta be more to the story.

That's usually true. But not always. Sometimes things simply are as they seem, as unexplainable as they are.
