Bill from NYC Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Maybe if he would have been punished for his past indescretions, he wouldn't have been shot. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 San Diego police are pretty quick with the fire arms. They shot and killed another guy this morning. When in San Diego, comply with the officer's wishes because they shoot first and ask questions later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The only tragedy in this situation is that Foley still draws breath. The off-duty cop had a chance to enforce Darwin's Law but must have been a bad shot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks who simply say "all right", shrug the shoulders, and save the vitriol for later seldom need to worry about getting plugged. Pretty simple. I'd say...

SD Jarhead Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 First off, the reason the homicide division is investigating it is because the case involves an officer related shooting. It's standard practice here. Also, what was left out of the ESPN article is that Foley pulled over prior to getting to his neighborhood and after the cop ID'ed himself, he started moving toward him. The cop pulled out his gun and Foley stated something like 'Ah, that aint no gun...it's a BB gun' and proceeded back to his car and drove off. Also, one should note that his female aquaintance was arrested for possession of drugs. If, as suspected, he was under the influence, and his actions were as the officer described, the cop is perfectly justified in doing what he did. I find it interesting that AJ Smith is not going to pay him his salary because of the information the police gave him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Apparently the Chargers aren't taking Foley's side because they put him on the non-football injury list, meaning he don't get paid this year. :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
