We're the Only Ones Filching and Firing Enough

A policeman who said he was shot by an unknown assailant actually shot himself with a gun he stole from the police department's property room, Dayton police Chief Julian Davis said Wednesday.

So the Fink is now on paid sick leave. And Awwwww..."he didn't reach out to anybody to tell us what was going on."

How very "Oprah" of you, Chief. Do you invest yourself emotionally with all common thieves, or just the lying, authority-abusing ones who need a throwaway piece for use on citizens?

But there I go being cynical. I'm sure the same treatment and concern would be extended to the rest of us non-"Only Ones" as well.

What? We'd be cuffed to the bed railing in the jail infirmary? No way...

David, I figure this knucklehead to be an "Only One" twice, as he stole the gun, then pulled a Lee paige (but I see you reflected that in your headline.)

Typical crap. Some gun owners fault for shooting a cop... until the surprising plot twist! Sounds like one of those lame Lifetime Network movies. Not that I ever got stuck watching one of those when Patton was on AMC.

Why isn't this criminal in the jail ward at the hospital under restraint?

Somebody be sure and tell about how many good cops there are, I like fairy tales.

Sounds to me like what comes around went around, real fast this time....
