Not so Sick!

For those non-News people out there who haven't heard, remember a few weeks ago I talked about a cop getting shot? Well guess what, he shot himself. On purpose. There was no other person there.

To me that takes a very messed up person to point a gun at themselves and pull the trigger, for any reason.

Shortly after it happened and I was telling someone the story about how we heard the cop screaming over the police scanners for someone to "drop the f*ing gun." I can't remember who it was but they asked me why was the cop's mic on? At the time I told them it must be procedure, or he forgot.

That out of place item has been rattling around in the back of my mind ever since. And when I found out Monday that it was all fake that conversation came roaring back to me. It WAS rather unusual to hear that much interaction over the scanners.

But honestly, what the hell was going through his mind when for no obvious reason, an officer of the law turned a gun on himself?

So the moral of the story... We news folk ain't the sickest people after all.
