Breaking: Seal Beach, CA Cop Shoots & Kills Wife During Domestic Dispute

No confirmation yet. The local L.A. news just had a report, and slipped in the comment that a police officer lives in the involved residence. Oh......and he's dead too. A good 'ol murder suicide.

Why did he kill himself? Surely his fellow officers would have stood behind him, and he could have used the "she reached for a weapon" argument. <sarcasm off>

Not sure if your is petulance, or merely irrelevance to better advertise the sacred cow.

as far as I know. Some have attempted to make it more difficult for others, though...there's no doubt about that.
There are no sacred cows or sacred anything else...but the Bill of Rights is about the closest thing there is to one.

Nothing is confirmed, only that he might "Possibly" be a cop.

But you've already got the whole thing figured out!

Impressive!

12. He's A Cop

I'm posting on a message board, I don't have to have it all figured out.

But the local reports interviewed neighbors who said he was a cop. The cops have not released that info yet, but they will.

And it's not like he's the first cop to do this. Same exact thing happened a couple of miles away in late 2016. You can look it up. Date a cop, risk your life.

Let's us feel more clever about ourselves, regardless of whether we use the eyeroll or not.

The famous deflection argument. Start talking about something that was never even raised.

Clearly though, there are cops who should never be allowed to hold a gun.

Date a cop, risk your life.
