Don’t you know firearms discharges are just like club pool? The billiard association rules for 8-Ball might not require calls for shots, but everywhere I’ve played, except in tournaments, every shot had to be called, and that included everything the cue ball was going to do (double kiss, cross bank, etc.). Anything else and your target ball going into the pocket is, as the terminology goes, accidental. So, the cop in question here didn’t mention that the bullet would richochet off his thumb’s 3rd digit, the southeast wall, and going through the other guy’s tummy. Now if he’d’ve called all that, then you’d have a great case for premediated murder. But he didn’t, so it’s just plain old accidental. ---

What the utter fuck. Did it never occur to this chucklefuck that _no one_ carries a raw chicken around, particularly on an hours long flight, and that this will instantly make security suspicious? ---

Safety first. 😉 ---

An off-duty sheriffs deputy was attacked by three people who knocked him to the ground. He displayed his service revolver, to which one of the attackers drew his own weapon and began firing. A gun battle ensued, drawing the attention of the local police, who saw the deputy in a firing stance and ordered him to drop his weapon. The deputy declined their invitation, so three police officers opened fire, hitting the deputy multiple times. All agreed that violence could have been avoided if there had been more guns. (I made that part up). > **[Off-duty Vermont sheriff's deputy shot multiple times by police after...](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/-duty-vermont-sheriffs-deputy-shot-multiple-police-gunfight-new-york-rcna58130)** > > The deputy and a man from Utica, New York, had exchanged gunfire around 3 a.m. Sunday when Saratoga Springs Police ran onto the scene, ordered the deputy to drop his weapon, and shot him several times. ---
