You would have been treated like trash and handled accordingly.:eek:
Out here in the 'wild west' innocent people get shot by the cops and there is no justice done.
Yes, they have a hard job and can't predict the future or read minds, but, there have been cases where the PO's will run into a yard chasing after a suspect and a homeowner, who comes out to investigate noise about the house, is mistaken for a 'perp' and gets blown out of their shoes.
The PO's and PD won't be investigated by an outside entity. The internal affairs section comes out and rules in their own favor!
Oops! The officer feared for his life and shot the wrong guy because it was dark and the person had what the PO thought was a gun.
I think I'd still be cleaning out my drawers today.:eek:
Wow....
