Off duty cop tries to pull over another off duty cop and neither one identifies themselves as such.

The details are a bit unfolding but one of the cops perceived a threat from the other so he pulls his firearm and in the process, he shot himself.

Off duty v. off duty shooting

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."

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.

You gotta laugh at this shit....

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.

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.

Some learnin' need to be done in that locality.
Nuff said!!

Me thinks the cop who was doing the chasing would have been better off had he just gotten a plate number and followed up later.

Wow. Lot of dumb going on here.

It's very lucky they will be able to flush both of these fools out of my profession without and injuries to the public

Nah, not nearly macho enough.

Gotta run them down, hang his badge out the window, and make them respect his authoritah.

Is this the modern version of keystone cops?

Hire bad officers get bad results, both on the job and OFF the job.

I got nothing.

Queue the Benny Hill theme music, Yakety Sax.

But he disrespected me ese.....
