Officer shot, killed by fellow police officers after resisting arrest - Polidicks

[quote]SANTA MARIA, Calif. (AP) — A police officer under investigation for sexual misconduct with a teenage minor was shot and killed while on duty by fellow officers Saturday as they tried to arrest him on California's central coast, authorities said. The officer was manning a DUI checkpoint when the shooting occurred shortly after 1 a.m. He was declared dead after emergency surgery at Marian Medical Center, Santa Maria police Chief Danny Macagni said in a statement. The officer, a four-year Santa Maria department veteran, had just learned of the internal investigation of an alleged sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl, and it became necessary to arrest him immediately, Macagni said. "We had no choice," Macagni said in video of an afternoon news conference posted by KCOY-TV. He said investigators had evidence "that demanded that we go out and take this officer off the street immediately." Supervising officers were sent to make a felony arrest, but he struggled with them when they arrived, first putting up a physical fight, then firing his gun but hitting no one, Macagni said. "He chose to resist, he drew his weapon, a fight ensued, he fired his weapon," the chief said. Several officers came to help the police making the arrest, and one of them shot the suspected officer in the chest once, Macagni said. Detectives had begun investigating the alleged relationship on Thursday night, and minutes before the shooting had confirmed that an "inappropriate" and "very explicit" relationship had been going on, Macagni said. He said he could not give details because of the sensitivity of the investigation, but "there was some witness intimidation involved" and the arrest couldn't wait for a more proper time or place. "The information that we had in hand demanded that we not let him leave that scene, get in a car, drive somewhere, it would put the public at risk," Macagni said at the news conference. "We just did not know what was going to happen, we did not expect him to react the way that he did." Macagni said police had expressed condolences to the officer's family. The officer who fired the fatal shot, an eight-year department veteran, has been placed on administrative leave, and the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department was investigating the shooting, Macagni said. The name of the officer killed has not been released because some family members were still being notified, and the name of the officer who fired the shot was withheld while the incident was under investigation, police said. Santa Maria is a city of some 100,000 people about 60 miles northwest of Santa Barbara and 160 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.[/quote] [url]http://news.yahoo.com/officer-shot-killed-fellow-police-calif-011712475.html[/url] Just an article for people that don't believe police misconduct and investigations are not taken seriously. Sounds like he was getting investigated and he found out about it and the others seen it necessary to arrest him to protect the victim and witnesses. Though I can't imagine how it would feel to have fight and arrest a fellow on duty officer, let alone actually get in a use of force and shoot him. Terrible.

Pulled out his gun, he knew what he was getting himself into.

I was thinking "wow a little overreaction to another officer? you needed to kill him?" but then I read that he fired a shot, regardless that it did not hit anyone thankfully, but it could have and he probably would have. he was shot in the chest only once, so don't say HURR DURR FAILURE TO STOP FIRING

so much police brutality [highlight](User was banned for this post ("didn't read the article" - Swebonny))[/highlight]

Posting one article about one case where the police actually decided to do something isn't going to change the fact that there have been plenty of police officers who have got away with unspeakable crimes.

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;34440337]so much police brutality[/QUOTE] Did you even read the bloody article?

I could only imagine that entire situation being a clusterfuck. Blue-on-Blue. [QUOTE=Bones85;34440355]They aren't and haven't been in plenty of cases.

I'm sure there are a lot of other cases none of them made public because they stayed low-profile or didn't end up in a shooting so it does not spark media interest. Just because it isn't reported does not mean it does not happen.

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;34440337]so much police brutality[/QUOTE] He had a gun too.

Never said that, you assumed that. I simply said [quote]Just an article for people that don't believe police misconduct and investigations are not taken seriously.[/quote] People say they never hear about it, well here is an article.

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;34440337]so much police brutality[/QUOTE] This remark technically still stands. The one cop had sex with a kid underage.

If a civilian had [i]reached[/i] for a weapon the cops would have no problem shooting him ten or twenty times. This guy pullled AND fired a weapon, he's lucky they only killed him once.

THOSE GOD DAMN APPLES MAN

[QUOTE=Motherfuckers;34441464]THOSE GOD DAMN APPLES MAN[/QUOTE]Goddamn, it must be quite hard to read, huh?

Barely 20 post in and there is a good deal of stupidity in this thread. The cop drew his gun and he paid the price for it, when you pull a weapon on someone. It's bound to happen.

So when they do show those statistics at the end of each year showing officer deaths 'in the line of duty' will this guy count?

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;34441476]Goddamn, it must be quite hard to read, huh?[/QUOTE] The apples aren't satisfied with just picking on humans any more, now they are killing their own kind.

EDIT: that guy didn't like getting killed twice, he said it would've been better if it was only once, or not at all.

[QUOTE=Nerevar982;34441501]So when they do show those statistics at the end of each year showing officer deaths 'in the line of duty' will this guy count?[/QUOTE] I doubt it, considering he was trying to make other officers die in the line of duty.

[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;34441260]This guy pullled AND fired a weapon, he's lucky they only killed him once.[/QUOTE] Thank god he was only killed once! Heaven forbid he was killed again and again!

So many dumb boxes to give, so little time.

This guy pullled AND fired a weapon, he's lucky they only killed him once.[/QUOTE] First off, that's what cops are supposed to do. You don't want to wait until someone gets to the point of attacking with the weapon, you want to get them when they're reaching for it so no one else gets hurt. Also, they can't raise him from the dead and kill him again.
