Be nice to see this grow even more.

We're the Only Ones Criminally Incompetent Enough

Witnesses say a sheriff's deputy in Washington State is distraught after she shot a man in a tree.

The deputy apparently meant to fire a Taser but grabbed the wrong weapon.

He and and his eldest son were handcuffed and taken outside for an hour while police searched their flat - finding only the plastic pellet-firing toy replica.

The assumption is the people are the enemy.

And I'm sure the enuretic snitch feels indignantly justified.
