Connecticut Cop Shot During Porn Bust Outside Harry Potter Showing [More]
More detail here:
Two police officers who arrived at the scene of an arrest in the parking lot of the AMC Loews Theatre Saturday morning were wounded after fellow Plainville officers shot at their police car, a state police investigation found.
The suspect, Erik Gothberg, 45, of Southington, had left the theater and was approaching his car when police tried to arrest him, the police report states. Gothberg reached for his waistband, and Sgt. Timothy Mullaney and Cpl. Jon Eno opened fire, the report states.
Yeah, they couldn't possibly have taken him in less public-endangering circumstances or had any indication he was violent--and lo and behold, he didn't have a weapon. Yeah, he "went for his waistband." Maybe he was scratching. Or maybe trigger-happy Frick and Frack--a corporal and a sergeant, so it's not like we're dealing with rookies here--are shoot-first idiots who will do anything to make sure it's they who go home at the end of their shift--even if their "brother" officers don't.

Cops lie.
Now come on! You don't know what kind of day those cops had! You have no idea of the pressure...more to the story that you don't know about...volunteer to lay their lives on the line for YOU...you weren't there...thin blue line...and KRYPTONITE...and...and...!
"Gothberg reached for his waistband . . . "
Too bad we don't have a right to keep and bear waistbands, but I guess that wouldn't do us much good either. I suppose we could wear coveralls, but then they'd just shoot us for reaching for our zippers.
