An investigation continued this weekend into the shooting of a farmer by a Fresno County sheriff's deputy who apparently went to the wrong address to check on a 911 call..."The sheriff has not released the deputy's name." Oh well, we know who the Srabians are, that ought to be enough.
The deputy told investigators a man wearing a ski mask and armed with a gun came out of the house and pointed a gun at him...the sheriff has not released the deputy's name.
Srabian's sister...said her brother was wearing a beanie, which he likes to pull down low to cover his ears to protect him from the cold. She said believes her brother, who had been in the dining room, heard a dog barking, noticed a car outside and armed himself when he went outside.
And let's be fair. 7297 E. Walter Ave. does sound awful similar to 7274--and even if they are on opposite sides of the road, they share 2 digits. Besides, who among us hasn't confused a beanie with a ski mask?
Let this be a lesson to you if you live in the country where help isn't instantly available--guns only make the problem worse. If you must investigate strange unexpected visitors, always do so unarmed. Unless you're a trained "Only One."

You just know that the deputy will not face any consequences at all. Unlike the full weight of the cops and courts falling upon any other citizen that did the same thing.
I don't believe the deputy set out to murder this man. But should he not be held to the same standards as we untrained, non-special citizens would be? After all, it should certainly be easier for him to maintain that standard. Yet we time and again where law enforcement personnel cannot meet the standard all the rest of us do without the training and the ego.
Strange that.
