Don't point at the LA Sheriff's Dept.
http://wehonews.com/z/wehonews/archi...articleID=5406
“The deputy fired eight rounds and missed him,” said Lt. Ault. “Ultimately, deputies determined that the man the deputy fired upon was the store’s clerk who was pointing to them trying to get their attention.” -I think I'll stick to waving! Last edited by LaredoTornado; 10-03-2010 at 2:11 PM.. |

It is damn sad when merchants have to worry more about getting wacked by the police, then they do about getting wacked by criminals.

That's a couple of blocks from my house.
Eight shots??? I'm glad as heck the dep missed, but what the hell does that say about an LEO's composure and proficiency with a firearm. Spray and pray the new tactic at the LASO? Maybe they need to stop hiring shoe clerks. Was he or she running in the opposite direction and firing blindly to the rear? In any case, the LASO just dodged one hell of a wrongful death lawsuit. |

In all fairness to the Deputy, he was probably scared and not ready for a potential conflict. He knew he was going in hot and didn't know anything else about the situation before going in. I'm not sure if it was lack of training or just a lack of knowledge. I do have to wonder where his partner was though. They normally both open fire to a potential threat.

The sad thing is I might have defended the officer had he/she hit the clerk. The fact that the officer can't judge a situation and can't hit what they are aiming at and that it takes 8 rounds to realize you are shooting at someone without a gun is sufficient evidence to get them off the street. And can I get a holy crap! What a charlie foxtrot!

Maybe the clerk looked like this guy:
I'm sure the quick thinking of the deputy saved his life, and the shots fired didn't miss, but were simply deflected by The Force. Good thing too, this guy can shoot ****ing lightning from his fingertips!

I have all the respect for LA County Sheriffs, but I'm not sure what's scarier... The fact that the deputy was so quick to open fire, or the fact that he missed all 8 shots at a supposed threat?

Wow! Just, Wow! I'll bet that clerk will think twice next time he's tempted to bother the police for something as trivial as armed robbery.
Sometimes life throws so much asurdity at me that I'm tempted to believe The Illuminatus! Trilogy is history.

+1,000,000 I hope Deputy Fife finds himself unemployed very soon and that the LA County Sheriff's Dept takes a good hard look at itself and its apparent incompetence!! Sheesh!!!!!!!!!! |

I'm wondering what made the LEO stop at eight. Thought he/she had neutralized the perp? Realized the mistake?
There had to be more rounds in the magazine. Maybe it was just a case of "Well, that oughta do it!" |

Hope nobody labels this an "LEO bashing". If I understand correctly, the first 10 rounds are supposed to miss, hence it is safe for the rest of us to have only low-cap magazines. On the other hand, if he had fired 11+ rounds and missed, then it would be justified to question his competence .

Maybe he had a 1911?

Those cops are lucky...
Luck that they didn't murder an innocent citizen. And lucky that they didn't do this to an armed citizen who could shoot back.

As for being fired, I have no idea what their union contract says, but I know in San Francisco it is insanely difficult to fire bad officers: Quote:
So in SF, they simply can't fire officers who have moral problems, and they can't use them, so all they do is sit at a desk collecting big salaries while waiting for their huge pensions to arrive. Edited: The officer in question, Lionel Sevilla, made $111,551 last year, and now he'll spend the rest of his career pulling in > $100k, plus about $25k worth of benefits, to sit at a desk and twiddle his thumbs, until he retires and starts getting his pension, which will probably also be about $100k per year. Taxpayers will end up paying about $2mil for this guy's honest and courageous desk service. In the five years while his case was being investigated, he "earned" about $500k from the taxpayers. At some point, SF may start asking itself, which is worse, being robbed by the police union, or dealing with actual robbers on the street.
