Last week a Battle Creek Officer responded to a call for service at a local cafe/restaurant. A patron was causing a ruckus and refused to leave. A female Officer responded to the location. She asked, then told the obnoxious patron to leave or face arrest. Did the fool leave? of course not.
He got up from his seat and moved aggressively toward the Officer. She fired her TAZER. No effect. The chump then went “hands on.” During the scuffle he managed to get control of her weapon and shot her in the leg.
By this time other Officers arrived and rendered the offender 10-7, with mileage. One less creep to worry about. What could have been done to prevent this near tragedy? Insure Officers have a level 3 or 4 weapon retention holster. Wait for backup.
Thankfully, this Officer will be OK. God was riding with you that day!
Peace
