I'll Buy That For A Dollar

So a deputy in Bremerton, Washington claims that he was trying to reach for his taser but instead drew his pistol and shot a man who was up a tree. The excuse was that the taser was similar in shape to the deputy's pistol. Let us also forget the fact that most law enforcement officers carry their pistols and tasers in different locations. The deputy is a five year veteran of the force but for some reason, I assume the stress of dealing with an unarmed man in a tree, he was unable to tell the difference between his lethal and less than lethal weapons.

Here is the original story: Deputy Has Barney Fife Moment...

Alrighty, my hats off to the highly trained law enforcement professionals in Bremerton.
