Oh, this should be good. On hat planet do the rules and regulations allow an officer to pull their gun for starting a fight? The real crime here is that no cops are going to stand up and root this kind of malfeasance out of the police force and for that, they are just as complacent and deserve whatever street justice should come their way when the s**t hits the fan.

They are not increasing in regularity... This is the way things have always been. Difference? Now with the Internet, you actually hear about these stories. I'm not saying that it's right or acceptable, but the notion that this kind of thing is on the rise is an illusion - it was just much easier to keep this s**t under wraps before the Internet.

2 things:
Cop needs to be fired and disciplined accordingly as if he was a regular person.
Lady needs to learn how to count and/or stay the fcuk out of the express lane.

Where I live, we are taught from the age of about ten years old on up that cops only pull their firearm if they intend to use it, and if they intend to use it then they will shoot to kill.

You don't kill someone for shoving you.

Even at Walmart.

I don't know what has happened to police officers over the past 15 years but I know that the current behavior of police officers is completely unacceptable. Whether it's them bullying peaceful protesters, raping 9-1-1 dialers or arresting young girls for abusing 9-1-1 while their father lies dying something wrong is happening and it needs to be stopped. Police need to be taught that their first duty is to public safety, not personal issues, not financial gains and certainly now power grabbing.

It's so hard to read these stories twice a week and it doesn't seem like they are going away, they are just increasing in regularity.

@neotechni

So if you saw some guy up in your woman's face screaming at her you wouldn't do s**t?

At least you admit you're a pathetic little coward.

Whoever submitted this, f**ked up the title. You left out the part where he was off duty.

This idiot should be treated the same as any regular citizen who pulls a gun on someone for no reason. Which is getting a one way ticket to jail. They can take their internal investigation and shove it up their asses. Any normal person would be in jail right now, for doing this same thing. Since he was off duty, and didn't show his badge; He was no different than anyone else.

f**k this guy, and f**k the Sheriff's department for not arresting him.

As this is a Walmart it is highly likely the incident was caught in security footage (I've seen less surveillance in most banks than what is usually sitting up front near the registers). If they "loose" the footage or delay its release for more than a couple weeks I think it is safe to say that the officer was the assaulting party. Unfortunately the corruption is so bad in our "justice" system I doubt even if the officer is proven to be at fault I doubt he'll see any real punishment. That officer in New York only had a few days paid vacation taken away for macing a half dozen women in the face because the "invisible crawling guys trying to trip an officer" defense flew with the IAB. An off duty officer that was caught on surveillance beating the crap out of a 110 lb female bartender for not getting him more booze didn't spend a second in a cell, and was even escorted through the back door of the courtroom by a phalanx of on the clock officers every time he had a court appearance.

"his actions are consistent with rules and regulations"....???

He's allowed to wave a gun around with a pregnant woman standing there...and the husband gets charged?

I friggin' hate cops

That argument would only hold water if the "off duty" officer was treated like any other person throughout the incident. As the officer was not arrested for pulling a gun in a Walmart, along with the husband who was arrested for shoving, the off duty officer is apparently receiving very preferential treatment.

And you left out the part where the worthless pig was acting threatening toward both of them first.

"There was a guy in her face, yelling at her," said Jason Thurmond. "In an aggressive manner he steps toward me, and I just push him back to keep him away from my wife and myself, and before I knew it I just froze because he pulled out a gun."


So you wouldn't do the same thing if some random stranger was in your wife's or girlfriend's face?

It's not assault when you're threatened. And he didn't assault a cop. He defended his family against a random assh**e in a store. The guy never presented himself as a cop. And even if he did; He had no legal reason to act like a child.

No. it's defense on the husband's part, you moron.

So if he's a layperson, he's a thug. If he's a stormtrooper he can do no wrong? Did I get your thoughts right on the matter, you little Eichmann?

Yes...we do hate cops because the little s**t bags are acting like big s**t bags.

Everyday we hear of one or more of these **** abusing their position. Many times they lie about it...then when there is evidence to prove it...they change their story and make up some retarded story to justify themselves. In the end...they still get away with it.

So yeah...the hatred of them is growing.

"Unfortunately, it works because the internet loves to hate bad cops."

Shouldn't everyone hate bad cops?

Pushing him is assault....LOL! I'm sure he was at such a disadvantage and writhing in pain after that horrendous attack. The only thing that was hurt was this deputy's ego.

What a coward...pulling his his gun out.

I don't think it would have started if the husband was there to begin with. Some of these douchebags like to target the weak and innocent, like a f**king pregnant woman shopping.

a career in law enforcement tends to appeal to certain types of people. and not always the ones we wish it did.

So if some guy gets in your wife's face you're just going to sit there and take it? Since when is pushing someone away from YOUR PREGNANT WIFE assault. You've got to be retarded!
Pushing someone = assault
Pulling a gun in a wallmart = just fine!
