I was hoping you would respond, oink. Thank you. Us wives (or husbands) can't speak for the "officer", until we stand in their shoes.
However, personally, during the 25 years my husband served this County (may he rest in peace), thank God he was armed. Especially in today's world. Like you, he never used it, but at 6.5/256lbs., no need. Thank God.
I listen to the scanner almost all the time, the calls here in Hawai'i County are escalating, and Puna has perhaps the bulk of calls (on a percentage).
Of interest, here is the latest in this trial:
http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/26177...dy-retrial
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Circuit Court Judge Karen Ahn ruled Friday to add a lesser offense to Christopher Deedy's murder retrial.
"I will deny the motion not to give manslaughter and I will give reckless manslaughter," she said.
(*Snipped - More at link - Also available at same link is the report on the officer shooting in Honolulu.)
No winners in this particular case. JMO.
