He was also a police lieutenant. He beat the crap out of some 15-year-old kids who shot at his car with a slingshot. Because the police department covered it up for several years, the statute of limitations ran out and he is now back on the force. Yes and this goes hand-in-hand with something I said earlier. There are cops out there who shouldn’t be allowed to carry a gun. We had an incident where a cop pepper sprayed a Wendy’s employee because he thought she short changed him. If he is the same guy I ran into he’s a complete loon with no room for doubt. But even in both cases listed a gun was not used. There’s a difference between looney and bat-shit-homicidal-crazy. I’ve been very clear that I think the person carrying a gun in a school should be screened and then given the same training that an FBI agent gets just as it was done with airline pilots. That includes police officers. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-nras-response-to-sandy-hook-an-armed-policemen-in-every-single-school-in-the-us/644754.md?page=8)
