She didn't even have a weapon in her hand? Wow. I hope he enjoys his new career in the fast food industry.
The deputy shot the woman. Did someone say the deputy is immune from criminal negligence charges? No. Did anyone say the woman can't sue in civil court? No. There's plenty that can be done about it.Originally Posted by Teufelhund
Unbelievable. If she had accidentally shot a cop for trespassing in her backyard, she would be in prison right now. Why the hell are cops sneaking around in people's backyards, weapons drawn? Is that seriously considered reasonable by anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together?
Cops get to trespass on your property unannounced, shoot your dogs, shoot you, and no one can do a damn thing about it. WTF is going on here? Did we wake up in a different f****** country this morning?
The drama queen stuff really gets tiresome.

Don't wanna get shot by the police?
"Stop Resisting Arrest!"
Won't be long before the public will fear the criminals less than incompetent law enforcement officers.
By the time you find out wether the responding officer is competent you may be dead.
If you're referring to me, why don't you just man up a little and say so instead of beating around the bush?Waiting,.... Waiting...... Come on you know you want to say it! Say it, you know who you are......
Stick up and say something about the bashing already!
Until then: STUPID! And dumb! I will continue to assume as I do!
If you don't like it; Bite IT!
The deputy here fucked up. Plain and simple. But your comments and the "nothing can be done about it" are typical of the bullshit we have to endure every time there's a negative story about cops. They're humans. They make mistakes.
But you're still free to ASSume all you want.

OP
I'm the original poster here! I posted this because I hoping this does not happen to another member of this forum. What the lady did was go look out in her backyard because she heard some noise and thought something suspicious was going on. If this happens to you, CALL THE COPS! The 911 operator could have told her that law enforcement was in her backyard.
I had the same thing happen to me in Florida, cops were sneaking around my camper with guns drawn. I cracked the door open and I could barely see the cop, but I saw the glint of his badge! I asked "Did you get a call?" He replied "Yes!" I asked who called and he told me about a call from a guy in Unit 6. I told him I could show him where Unit 6 was if that was ok. He said sure. Just be careful is all I'm trying to say.
Exactly. Good advice. I can tell you from experience most cops don't like these kind of calls, either. For lots of reasons.

Agreed, sneaking around on another guy's turf in the dark of night is not in any way a fun event. In most of those cases there is someone out there hiding that really is out to get you, plus there is the bounus of having to worry about your average joe coming out of his house with a shotgun to see what the hell is going on. Not to mention dogs, "I F#(#ing hate guard dogs!".
That being said, this cop screwed the pooch, obviousily, and I would sure think he will no longer be working in the law enforcement field.
I would like to add a little note, if I may. MANY departments are VERY restrictive on the equipment officers can use. Most will now allow officers to use weapon-mounted lights, which might have help avoid this kinda thing. Not tying to use that as an excuse, just something to keep in mind, the stuff we have in our gun cabinets is quite often far superior to what cops have in thier trunks and on thier belts.
Weapon mounted lights don't "avoid" this kind of thing. They cause it. By having officers point a light at something, the gun points too. Cops using weapon mounted lights to search is a failure mode.
None of the ranting and cop-bashing would have the opportunity to grow tiresome for anyone if this type of incident wasn't such a common occurrence. If this doesn't piss you off, then I really don't know where your mind is. Perhaps you should try to look at it from the perspective of the victim instead of always immediately siding with LE when this kind of thing comes up.
This kind of misconduct is routinely overlooked. What grows tiresome for me is hearing about cops abusing their power and then no one doing anything about it. It should not be up to the public to discipline LE when they screw the pooch; that's why they have supervisors. I wish I had time to follow up on all the stories like this to see if anything ever happened to the offending officers beyond a paid vacation during the investigation. I don't have that kind of time, but if I was a betting man. . .
I want to see some outrage at this kind of intolerable bullshit. I want to see the top brass at these PDs rain down apologies to the public and serious consequences on officers that can't follow FOUR F***ING FIREARM SAFETY RULES. "They're only human, he made a mistake." He f***ing SHOT some innocent woman in her own backyard! You don't get to treat it like he just dribbled jam on your nice white tablecloth, like it's no big deal. He should be made an example of.
