Ok this story is really disturbing as well as upsetting. I can not believe that an officer of the law would or even could do something like this.

Though I am glad that something is being done about it rather than the police department just sweeping it all under the rug and keeping it out of the public eye.

I just read this and I am sure that you too will be upset about it as well. An officer who had already served 8 years on the police force faked a police shooting.

It did not mention WHY he did something like this, however I am glad that the truth is comming out, and that he is no longer a part of the police force.

Staged Shooting

We were and are always told to go to the police for help, then along comes someone such as this officer and it tends to reflect horribly on all officers, and that is not a good thing.

That's crazy goes to show you, you can't trust anyone now days. There are a lot of crooked cops out there, and its scary to know the kind of people they really are.

You got to think what the world would be like without the good ones though. This world would be a very bad place. Even though there are bad ones out there, theres also good ones.

Once when I was younger I was staying the night with a friend and we walked out on her front proch and as soon as we did we heard gun shots. Well it kind of scared us because we didn't know if they were shooting at us or not. So we called the cops and told them what happened and that there were 2 girls and a baby here. They said they were coming but never did. So its scary to think if they would have really been shooting at us that night and they killed us some cop could have maybe stopped it but never came.

An officer faking a shooting is disturbing to say the least.

As for a city police to come where there's a shooting, they usually call a sheriff out, unless it's somewhere downtown or within the city area.
The sheriff may have been called to that shooting by the police department.

Our neighbor was shooting a gun off for quite a while and then got a new shotgun. They live in a small wooded area beside our place.
We called our area sheriff out, he investigated and came back to tell us the man got a new shotgun and was just trying it out.
That surprised us to know it's ok to shoot a gun out here where houses are anywhere from 100 feet to 300 feet apart and it's ok with the sheriff department.

I just wonder why this guy faked a shooting. What was he hoping to gain from it? It's pretty strange for sure.

As for people shooting guns in close proximity to houses, it happens near my house as well. We have a neighbor who is an idiot to say the least who will stand on his front porch and shoot across the hill. It makes me crazy because I have three kids. People shouldn't be allowed to do that but they do.

I agree there should be some kind of law stating you cant shoot a gun a certian amount of feet from someones house. I know that I would be extremely scared if i had kids and not that far from us a man what shooting off his gun.

Accidents do happen, and i would not know what to do with myseld if someone shot my daughter or son. I would be scared to let them be outside playing while he was shooting.
