Some people should not be on Facebook.

CA cop wants to shoot open carriers

That headline is somewhat misleading. The detective wants to "prone them out" face down on the ground and only kill them if they so much as even move after that.

So sue me!

Sounded to me like he wants them to move so he would have an excuse to me.... thus the headline. As I say, not that he would likely do this, but in forums like Facebook, people let their guard down and shows how they really feel.

[quote="marksiwel"]I think the COP was having a bad case of this

Eewww!!!

I took the verbal diarrhea as how he really felt and the apology as a politically correct way of trying to minimize the punishment.

Wow.... would you want to meet this guy in a dark alley?

Yeah, read this on Drudge yesterday.

So much for his oath to protect and serve... us and the Constitution...

Of course the Supreme Court has ruled that police are not required to protect the public anyway!

What makes you think they are even capable of protecting you?

This idiot should be fired.

Forget "two week vacation" this hatemonger needs a permanent vacation.

It's the same if a cop "joked" about "stringing up" black civil rights marchers. Same type of hatred. The sorry excuse for a man dishonors the badge.

Don't make apologies/excuses for this cop. I don't care when/where/why he wrote what he wrote. Because what he wrote shows clear antagonism toward 2A defenders and at best an air of superiority (at worst a God complex).

Just take the last post in Andy's link above, the one after the more threatening post about "pulling the AR out and proning them"

... go attend one of their meetings and laugh at them cuz they can only dream to have a ccw

This guy relishes the fact that only cops like him are allowed to carry guns and obviously feels superior because of it.

This idiot should be fired.

And I am a huge supporter of LEOs. Everytime the Austin Statesman railroads an APD cop for what they call a quesitonable shooting (basically if an APD cop ever fires his weapon in line of duty it is automatically quesitonable to the small minds at the Statesman) I write a letter to the editor defending APD.

But this guy is that bad apple that Old Gringo mentions above. He doesn't deserve the privilege and honor of being a police officer.
