Reading up a little, this has been going on for a while and the kids have refused to yield to his repeated requests/demands to stop walking through his yard.

Some legitimate Gran Torino stuff.

Regardless of who became belligerent first, he should not have discharged his weapon. It's going to cost him.

Yep.... he's toast

If you harass my 13 yo who is walking home from school and he allegedly says he's going to shoot you, you are not within your rights to touch my kid. Sorry. You're going to jail, unless you are a cop.

At that point he was within his legal authority to detain the kid whether you like it or not. If it were Joe Schmoe then it would be an entirely different situation. We can keep playing the hypothetical game if it helps you sleep at night. What if the kid was a werewolf and the cop was a time traveler?

You got an officer on video manhandling a child, discharging his pistol, and 25 people's word against his. All I'm gonna say is good luck to the man and thank God you're not a cop.

I never said I approved of what he did, only that he was within his legal ability minus the shooting. Police don't operate by the same rules as the general public and we all know that. And I would be a horrible cop because I wouldn't put up with any crap.

My understanding was that an off duty copy has no more rights than I do in such situations. As usual, I'm open to being corrected on the matter.

LEO's have arrest powers off duty, just depends on your department's policy, the severity of the crime and our own involvement as to whether we act.

Likely not the best way to act at your sentencing hearing...

Kentucky man who scalped ex-girlfriend tells judge: 'I don't need a lecture' | Fox News

A man in Kentucky convicted of assault for scalping his ex-girlfriend and ordering his pit bull to attack her told off a judge Wednesday, saying he could take his sentence without all the extra talk.

"I'm not asking for your mercy. Just give me the 20. I don't need a lecture," 31-year-old Zachary Gross said.

The judge actually sentenced him to 21 years in the slammer, Fox 19 reported. The evidence showed that both Gross and his dog attacked his ex, Marilyn Stanley, in September 2015, prosecutors argued.

Anybody following the story of the part-time uber driver who is also an attorney in Wilmington, NC? Brief summary:

The cops pulled him over (5 of them) for allegedly picking someone up from a "drug house" and started harassing him for filming them, they call him a jerk, and they completely make up a lie that there is a new law that just passed that says you can't film the police, then they get the drug dog to sniff his car and of course the dog reacts (and an officer taunts the guy when this happens) so they search and find absolutely nothing....all of it is on video.

Here is the good part....Wilmington PD chief said they are investigating the incident and invited citizens to please record the police. I can't believe people think they can get away with this kind of stupidity, but I guess they have in the past.

The thing that blows my mind is they did this to an attorney who was recording them. What do they do to the broke guy with an IQ of 80 when nobody's watching?

Having dogs sniff the car is a huge scam.

He most likely does deserve jail. This is another example of why you don't put your hands on a stranger unless it's 100% absolutely necessary. The victim didn't deserve to die, but when you put hands on someone you never know what's coming next. If it wasn't a gun it may have been a throat punch .... even an old codger can still be an effective striker
