Yeah. WHO'D think a retired COP would shoot a guy in cold blood over Texting !!! crazy
I'm all for Background checks ,... but this shows even they aren't anywhere near perfect !!
And they'll never be any check for mental disease or over-aggression !

We are on a different case now, but I don't believe he shot the man because he was texting but from the confrontation that followed the texting. The confrontation could have been over anything but this time it was disagreeing over texting.

So many issues arise that end in violence but not until they have escalated past the original face off.

Yelling screaming, insulting ones person, mother or sister is not enough of a reason to pull ones gun from its holster. It has to be reasonable expectation of bodily harm or death. It's not enough just to want to end the confrontation and go home . Throwing popcorn is not enough. It has to be accompanied with direct violence.

Dave your right, BUT it shows ANY ONE can lose control and if there's a gun available... well tragedy occurs. HAD the gun NOT been there- there would have only been verbage or a few punches !! This was supposedly a "trained professional" - cops are TRAINED to control their emotions - that's why they appear so "stiff- robotic" when you talk to them... Now a daughter is fatherless !! and a supposedly "good guy" faces jail time !! Just so someone can carry a F-ing gun any F-ing where they want !!! ?? SO ILLOGICAL !! and I'm not Mr Spock !!

Were going back to Dodge f-ing City !! eek

You know, I lived in Dodge City for 32 years. A good town if you can put up with the smell.

Lots of good people there. Lots of folks really trying to make a difference. Good school system. I am proud that I was a part of it.

No Worries...

...but I think most of us have moved beyond the time
in our history when is was acceptable to engage in
shoot-outs to settle disagreements and disputes.

In case you hadn't heard...
...we call it, "Having Recourse To the LAW".

The expression "get the hell outa Dodge" has been used for years. As well as using it as a symbol for shoot Em ups. Back in the 1870's a major New York paper called Dodge City, ks the wickedest city in the nation and for good cause. But I believe Deadwood had it beat for general lawlessness.

Actually ther were few shootings in Dodge back then. Wyatt Earp was only evolved in one and that one is disputed as he and another deputy shot at the same time .

When I left Dodge there were four murders within the first three months of that year. It's still rather rough. Gangs, you know
