We're the Only Ones Not in Trouble Enough

What a raging oinker bully.  Pointing a gun at bound people on the ground is inexcusable. It would have been morally, if not "legally" justifiable to stop him.  [More]

So it figures this is the official reaction:
“He’s not in trouble, but to keep things aboveboard, we put him on administrative leave until an internal investigation is fully complete,” the chief said. “I’m not saying he did anything wrong, but we’re trying to show we’re not trying to sweep this under the rug or cover it up.”

I also have a problem with the "officer in distress" citizen caller.  That's kind of like an internee telling the Arbeitseinsatzführer someone on the work detail is slacking.

I'd say the citizen calling "officer in distress" is very much like a rape victim yelling "FIRE!" at the top of her lungs.

You want a fast response, use the magic words. After the help gets there, explaining what you actually meant is rather easy.

They misunderstood the caller. She said the officer was distressed and wanted them to dispatch a psychiatrist pronto.

Mikee: If you phone in a 'shots fired', or 'officer in distress', you're asking the goons to come in hot, shoot first, and ask questions later. Don't do it unless you're trying to get somebody killed.
