Not quite. The AD involved an off duty, shooting during Public Hours, RSM Instructor. Original story was that it was a Deputy. This has been edited in previous posts.So...…. A Deputy Sheriff makes a mistake and the people that didn't make a mistake gets the shaft?????
Yes, Bottom Line, an individual, who was a trained professional had an AD. Some call it a Negligent Discharge.
As the ex Safety Director for a Division of a Fortune 500 company with over 2500 employees and also on the Accident Investigation team for the corporation when incidents happened in other divisions.... Mental lapses occur
I have talked to folks in LEO and the DA’s office of a few large cities in NC. AD or ND are statistically more frequent among LEO as they constantly handle firearms and are more “at ease” with them. There have been some fatal ND in NC...as in other states. The Instructor probably feels more remorse than usual....based on the political football this has become
As to your comment, Sheriff Baker seized this incident to further an agenda that is questionable. Many comments have been made and he twisted the facts and made false and misleading statements. Now the County Commissioners have interceded and blocked his efforts. Perhaps more action will come.
Based on the Sheriff’s past track record, one could speculate that he either intended to hire more personnel and establish a Range Management department or to let a non compete contract with a new group. One has to wonder who these individuals might be and their relationship as family members of key donors or friends whose kids can’t find gainful employment. God forbid that a new company would make personal or political campaign donations
Of course that would be speculation, but based on some recent hiring and contract letting practices...not that far fetched.
The Commissioners have taken action and I commend them. We shall be there and supporting at least a temporary extension of their “cancelled” contact to maintain continuity and public use
