My mind is befuddled at the recent news that one of my friends may be going to prison for 10 years. I just can't believe our justice system has come to this.
Here is a summary of what happened. Two POS, one black one white, kicked in the door to a family's home and held them at gunpoint while they robbed them. While robbing them one of them spit in the face of the wife who had been fortunate enough to dial 911. When officers arrived the two POS fired on deputies and led them on a high speed chase through a small town and into the country where they eventually ran out of ammunition and crashed their stolen(?) vehicle. The two POS exited the vehicle and my friend told them to lay down and not run or he'd kick their azz. They ran and after some time they eventually subdued them and my friend - being true to his word - roughed them up a little but nothing major.
As the crazy world goes the Feds caught wind of this and my friend has been brought up on civil rights charges and his punishment for this is a $250,000 fine and up to ten years in prison. (thank goodness he didn't hit the black guy) Now, these two POS are looking at getting a big check for the violation of their "civil rights" and my friend's life is ruined all for doing his job and being human.
Now, I do agree he shouldn't have punched the POS no matter what the sorry azz said but after being shot at and having my co-workers shot at I can't say I wouldn't have done the same because I know my adrenaline would have been rushing and I would surely have been in fight mode and its hard to just turn this off. Its human nature. One judge said their mistake was they didn't kill them when they had the chance but does that not show how he used restraint? I don't know. Its just mind boggling that these POS who should have been in jail in the first place were out and able to commit more crimes and now we will be giving them a check and an apology and a good man is ruined.
