Sheriff Mistakes Innocent Man for Suspect, Dumps 10 Rounds Into Him—NO CHARGES

Why would he be? Policy was followed.

The important thing is that the Officer is OK - ricochets can be quite dangerous.

Right? Stupid civilian should be thanking the officer for not giving him all 30 rounds...

Don't you mean for stopping his rifle from firing itself before all 30 rounds had been discharged? It was a COP'S gun, after all.

Scumbag of a sheriff. Guy should lose his badge and never be allowed to work for law enforcement again.

is taking fire in the form of criticism

I was hoping for something a little different.

Roberts said Sheriff Cantu was not disciplined for the incident. Cantu said if he had to do it over again, his behavior wouldn’t change.

This is infuriating.

Cops must be instructed by their unions or other cops to say this whether it's true or not in order to avoid punishment. It's so overused of a line in the most ridiculous and inexcusable situations that that must be the explanation.

Good God would not some lawyer down there step up and file suit against the county for this mans medical bills and lost wages ? I could find a volunteer here .
