Only cops should have guns, right?

Too bad the sheriff didn't shoot himself in the leg like the other guy did.

How angry do you have to be to shoot a judge in broad daylight?

 

[Acer-m14]

how Corrupt must a judge be for a sheriff to shoot him ..

 

[Beerman]

Great. Now we’re NEVER gonna be allowed to carry in courthouses.

The way its going for cops lately, probably not a bad idea to lock down their weapons from them so they`ll stop hurting themselves and others.

Hope they're gonna revoke his carry permit

 

[GOPerfect]

You guys, I think.... are judging this man too quickly. May turn out, once all information is released, you will fully support his reasons for using said firearm....

Hope they're gonna revoke his carry permit

Not needed in Kentucky. May get a medal for his actions. May...

I am curious, not saying anything specific...

If any of you found out that an elected Judge was having say, "relations" with your underage daughter; what would you do?

Again, just a hypothetical question.

Whatever I might hypothetically do, it certainly wouldn't be at the courthouse in the middle of the day!

I guess i somehow missed the part in the story of "why" he killed the guy. Is that really why he shot him?

Best friend raped your daughter mad.

 

[Depick]

Must’ve been one hell of an argument to shoot someone several times. There has to be much more to this story.

 

[tirwin1]

Best friend raped your daughter mad.

But unlike the average person he could actually arrest the prick. The rest of us would have to resort to personal justice.

 

[Willyone]

Was the Judge a Dem or Repub??

 

[Koz]

This story beckons for much more detail. Way too many possible scenarios to speculate. It had to be something big to warrant an execution by LE. I'm waiting for the follow up story, but my mind is coming up with some doozie ideas of what could have transpired.

Is this actually what happened? Media is their usual helpful self.

Should know more in the next day or two.

Thanks G
If you hear any more, can you toss it in the thread here please?

This is what the residents are all saying. This county Sheriff's department has been in the news a few times in the past for sex crimes and abuses. I'll try to find the news stories.

Might be related... Possibly.

This is the same Deputy in another town and State.

Law enforcement career on hold, ex-Deputy Ben Fields looks to the future

Oct. 26, 2015, is a day Ben Fields will never forget. In fact, there's not a day that goes by where he doesn't think about it.

Some reports are saying he is related to the Judge.
