Let me rephrase, I don't think the deputy went in to hurt anyone, my point was people thinking of it as murder can think that way because of the way the situation went down. The deputy put himself into a situation where he was trying to do the right thing. Unfortunately someone died. Fortunately it was not someone who was doing the right thing. The issue is, he put himself there-and if that escalated the situation to a point where someone not dying was not an option-then there are questions.
I find it very funny how upset people get-I never said the retired deputy did anything wrong, I was wondering out loud about how the situation went down. You think because I don't automatically say "this guy was a deputy so he must be right" that I'm an enemy. Far from it, most of my family are LEOS in NYC. They've had to deal with people questioning everything they've done and every time they've come out on top. I stand behind law enforcement. At the same time my cousin was beaten by cops because he said the wrong thing-and they didn't know his cousin was their captain
-there are bad apples everywhere.
Do not insult me because I would not put my family in a situation where they can get hurt-please.
if you read what I said right after that was just as telling-I said if he was just being a good witness then he deserves my thanks.
I also find it funny that my point was ignored-if he was following and getting information for LE to arrest the guy-I may have done that. If he got out of his car and attempted to arrest the guy himself-that is the situation I would not put my family into. God forbid he had a real gun-or that his GF had one and used it on the Retired LEO and his family.
