| Seems like he shot himself. Whole lotta stupid in that incident.

| "An earlier police statement indicated that the deputy had been driving a dark-colored Mercedes and that the police officer was traveling in a blue Subaru."

| Jesus. A whole lot of fail to go around. Deputy Dumbass shouldn't be trying to do traffic enforcement in his personal vehicle. (And besides, I'm guessing he was probably quite... animated... at the time, so was probably indistinguishable from any other road rager.) Officer Plaxico needs to not drive like an asshole, and especially either learn to keep his finger off the trigger and/or get a real holster. quote: Originally posted by sigmonkey: The guy(1) what shot hisself, is damned fortunate the other guy(2) did not shoot him(1) as well, after hearing the gunshot, thinking he(2) was being shot at.
Considering they were doing like 80 down the highway at the time, I suspect the Deputy didn't hear anything from the other vehicle over the road noise and his own aggressive hollering. |

| Sounds like alcohol was involved. Noticed that was not stated in the news article.

Possibly. But considering it was at 8:30 am, it's less likely. There are plenty of sober idiots. |

Nah, not nearly macho enough. Gotta run them down, hang his badge out the window, and make them respect his authoritah. |
