Last week, California had the first ever fatal shooting of a suspect by a Game Warden. The warden was issuing a citation to a fellow, on property where he was living in a travel trailer, for illegal burning of trash on public land. The violator was cooperative, and accepted the citation.
The warden then did a "wants and warrants" check on the fellow and got a hit for a felony warrant from Hawai'i for selling methamphetamines. He went back to the perp and informed him of the warrant and told him that he'd have to arrest him and take him in. The perp wouldn't cooperate and walked to his trailer, despite the warden commanding him to stop. The perp came back out of the trailer with a shotgun leveled at the officer. For this, he was shot three times in the chest.
Goodbye, tweaker! I can't believe the warden showed as much restraint as he did, holding his fire as long as he did. The warden put his own life in danger to give the perp as much opportunity as possible to cooperate, and when left with no choice, he killed the druggie. Thankfully, he didn't live long enough to get medical attention and take up space in prison. One less POS consuming oxygen.
