Police and their “Yee Haw” Behavior!
October 2, 2009Ok, so I found this post about this guy who has someone breaking into his house and he calls 911, and has the people at 911 on the phone while he cornors the guy with his own gun.
Ok, this is the gist of the story, and I will post this link here, read it I think you’ll find it interesting.
Here is the latest link about how the cops found the police officer was acting with in reasonable force.

Read this article and then read the link below which is from the “Court house News Service.” It provides the story in more details.
Now this is obvious just my opinion, and I am basing my opinion on a number of factors. The first being the article from the Court house news service web site and the second basis is just common sense. Once you read this you too will see just how out of control and how much these cops had tried to cover this up!
There is obvious intent to cover up the incident, which can be heard on the tape, things such as “According to the complaint, Ofcr Lilly can be heard on the 911 tape telling Coutts, “We fucked up.” Then the report goes on to say that the other Officer a Sgt Coutts; “The complaint continues: “Still not knowing that he is being recorded n the 911 tape, Sgt. Coutts interrupted Officer Lilly’s admission and apology with his assurance that the cover-up would commence: ‘That’s all right. Don’t worry about it. I got your back. … We clear?’”
This conversation can be heard on the 911 call as the cops didn’t know that it was still recording.
How, I mean really How could the Police dept knowing all of this info say that this guy acted within Board policy? If that is how police are supoosed to act I will never be calling one again, this is basically stormtrooper behavior!
Also the officer says on the 911 tape that he didn’t know which way the guy was pointing the gun or if he could see a gun? Ok so let’s say he could see the guy holding the gun and let’s go so far to say that maybe the homeowner accidently pointed the gun at the cop, how did the homeowner get shot 6 times in the back? (According to the resports two of those shots happened while the guy was on the floor already!)
All of this is scary and I cannot believe that the Police says the guy acted within board policy, however I expect them to protect themself. If the one officer was going to try and cover up the incident right when it happened, why wouldn’t they try to do this as a group!
I am a Gun owning Republican and I cannot believe that this behavior is tolerated anywhere in the US. I hope that when they go to the civil trial these two cops get 25 years in jail and the homeowner gets any amount of money that he asks for! ($5.2 million isn’t enough in my eyes!)
I am sure I am not bringing up anything a good attorney would bring up, but for fucks sake people, how do the good people in Arizona tolerate this kind of behavior?
