I read the reports released on this. It seemed like a good shoot in a crappy situation - nuff of that on this topic though.Chris wrote:that's what i'd like to know. in 2003, officer scott glasgow was charged with homicide. in the grand jury indictment, they failed to qualify the elements of the offense, only citing department policy violations. scott's career as a patrol officer has been screwed over by the liberals there. they were holding candle light vigils for a known car thief and doper who was in a stolen car. they were crying that the police weren't protecting them. i guess shooting a known doper and car theif who tried to drive off with a police officer in his window isn't protection? he was working the rat hole area without backup when the shooting went down.dws1117 wrote:I am gonna show my ignorance, but how is violating a company policy, even if the company is a police agancy, a criminal offense?only austin police officers are charged criminally for policy violations.
granted scott's tactics weren't the wisest of moves, but nothing he did was criminally wrong. if you want details, PM me.
That does suck....
