We're the Only Ones Dumb Enough

For an hour and a half after firing a gun inside the high school where he worked, a Bay County Sheriff's deputy played dumb. [More]
Sounds like he's been dumb for a lot longer than an hour-and-a-half, and like he's not playing.

And after culpable negligence, a careless discharge, reckless endangerment, unlawful wounding and  deliberately frickin' tampering with and removing police investigation evidence, the prosecutor hasn't decided yet if criminal charges are warranted?

Well as long as he got to go home at the end of his shift I guess all is well. You or I would be in jail, but hey, he's an only one!

+10K on what GaryM wrote. One of us peed-ons would have been in a holding cell in a New York minute. We'd have been looking at multiple felony counts. My guess is that this "only one" will get some non-paid leave and a black mark on his record that won't have any effect on his (doubtless generous) pension.

Yup. one sierra hotel troop that one. Damned glad I don't live anywhere near his jurisdiction.
