A North Carolina sheriff's official has apologized for plunging a funeral into chaos when undercover agents tried to arrest the dead man's son—and used a Taser on him in the process....Because being an "Only One" is such a grave responsibility...
Relatives said two deputies dressed in coats and ties grabbed Russ and kneed him in his back before Tasering him. One deputy's gun fell out of its holster.

OK, I'll try and post this once more. And if this one goes poof I'm done wasting my time.
ReplyDeleteFollowing his father's death Nov. 11, Russ agreed to surrender after the funeral.
Surrender I believe means, turn one's self in. That doesn't mean be arrested during the funeral. Most people would flip out if they were arrested after agreeing to turn themselves in. If arrested as their hand is on the rail of their father's casket as its being loaded to be taking to the grave site.
Another case of, parasites gone wild.
The incident (fiasco) proves that zombies can, and do , attack anywhere. What else but a rotting,stinking corpse would attack a man attempting to bury his father? A government paid only one at that. Prior to the commitment of this atrocity, was there no conversation between these two zombies as to if it might be inappropriate? Maybe they should have cuffed the dead father too, you can never be sure. And tase him.
ReplyDeleteMystery solved. I posted to this story on the story above this one, the first time I posted. I use a Mac and different formats from time to time seem to make my post go off into cyberland never to be seen again.
ReplyDeleteFolks, things are, to paraphrase young Alice "...getting stupider and stupider..."
ReplyDeleteI believe things will get much worse before they get better.
"had failed to surrender after being charged with threatening his ex-wife who lives in another state."
ReplyDeleteSo, on the word of one person, one distant person in no immediate danger... a man is SWATted.
Noted and logged.
The time of LEOs is so much more valuable than ours. They can't hang around for the end of weddings, funerals, birthday parties, showers (the kind with soap and water)...
I'm really starting to think the only good only ones ARE the ones just hanging around.
ReplyDeleteWhile there may be no justice in this world, I have to hope that they find a very angry Judge in the next.
word verification: pooffsa had to lol
That casket should have had a few bodies under it to cushion it.
ReplyDeletedid anyone notice the fear of the widow and daughter exhibited my the cops? And the intimated fear of the funeral crowd? It seems the cops are starting to understand, just how far over the line they are and projecting their expectations of retribution on everyone.
ReplyDeleteA few more pushes like this and fear may just turn to injury or worse. Let's hope the right parties are justly injured, or worse.
What I found most infuriating is after all the condescending "so sorry"s they still charged the poor guy with everything except shooting JFK. Guess they weren't THAT sorry (sarc off).
