People who will not defend themselves. People who think animals are a lesser form of being. (ask me if you don't understand that people do shit animals would never stoop to) People who claim to be fair, but are truly hateful in their hearts. People who do kind things, but only in an effort to be rewarded. People who won't do the right thing. I will shut up now.

The second theory raised in the amended complaint, and one that is pursued by plaintiffs at summary judgment, is that there was a history and pattern of unlawful traffic stops and uses of excessive force by deputies with the Sheriff’s Department, that the Sheriff knew of these incidents, that he condoned the conduct by doing nothing, and that Butler’s alleged conduct was in keeping with the custom and practice that developed in the Sheriff’s Department as a result of the lack of action by the Sheriff. In addition to the four incidents, plaintiffs also note that Butler was once sued for using excessive force when he was a police officer in Sanford, North Carolina, that the Sheriff’s Department hired him anyway, and that the Department was itself being sued in federal court at that time in an excessive force case.5 Also, plaintiffs claim that the officers involved in the four incidents set out above failed to follow proper procedure by not filing use of force reports or recording citizen complaints. Plaintiffs allege that failing to follow proper use of force procedure created a laxity in the department that made the shooting and killing of arrestees “almost bound to happen sooner or later.” Spell, 824 F.2d at 1391. The Court finds this argument attempts to reach much too far. Based on the four incidents, the two lawsuits, and the alleged failure to follow proper procedure, plaintiffs have constructed the following scenario. They say that Sheriff’s deputies, including Butler, were engaging in excessive uses of force, that they were not filing proper reports, that the Sheriff at the time would have been aware of this by reading the incident reports that were filed, and that the Sheriff took no measures to stop the use of excessive force or compel his employees to file the proper reports. They also claim that the incident involving Butler and Brewer shows that

It appears the right asserted by plaintiffs is the right not to have the vehicle they were riding in stopped without reasonable suspicion that they were involved in criminal activity. Butler has not argued this right was not clearly established at the time he stopped Leiber’s truck, but only claims that the stop was legal, or at least a reasonable officer in his position could have thought the stop was legal." "the truck violated no traffic laws and had a current and valid inspection sticker and registration. This is not in dispute, but it is also not relevant. Butler makes no claim that he stopped the truck because it violated a traffic law or was not properly registered or inspected. Next, plaintiffs challenge certain of the facts that Butler relies on to establish reasonable suspicion. They describe Butler’s reliance on “a rash of property crimes” as a “fabricated, after-the-fact explanation” for the stop. (Pl. Brf. p. 9) They report that a review of the files from the Moore County Sheriff’s Office “shows no upswing in property crimes in the northern part of the county” at that time. (Id.) However, whether there was a statistical “upswing” in property crimes or not, Butler has testified that such crimes were occurring in the area. This testimony is supported by testimony from Robbins police officer Jerry Garner who describes some of the crimes and who himself accidentally stopped some Robin Sage participants while investigating those crimes.

He pulled his weapon and killed a man lying on the ground that had been sprayed with OC, then shot the other soldier twice in the chest as he was fleeing. The officer should face murder and attempted murder charges.

FORT BRAGG (AP) -- A newly released Army report about the shooting death of a soldier during Special Forces training in February is raising new questions about what really happened. Two witnesses to the fatal shooting give accounts that conflict with the version given by the sheriff's deputy who killed 1st Lt. Tallas Tomeny during the during the "Robin Sage" exercise in Moore County, according to the report obtained by The News & Observer of Raleigh. The two witnesses -- one civilian and one soldier who were both involved in the training exercise -- said Deputy Randall Butler shot and killed Tomeny after Tomeny had been disabled by a chemical spray, and wounded another soldier who was reacting to the shooting of Tomeny. After a two-day investigation in February, Moore County District Attorney Garland Yates said he would not press charges, calling it a tragic case of mistaken identity. But a 155-page report obtained by the News & Observer details the Army Special Operations Command investigation. It concluded that the Army contributed to the case of mistaken identity by never telling local law enforcement officers that the exercise was under way. Both Yates and Moore County Sheriff Frank Johnson said they were not aware of the conflicting testimony and said the Army has not given them copies of its investigation. The Army report does not reach a clear conclusion on what happened once the fatal encounter was under way. Army investigators did not interview Butler. "Each recollection is so different we could not tell which one is right," said Maj. Scott Sterns, a spokesman for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, which conducted the investigation. "That's where the problems are. It's hard to know what happened." The shooting took place during Robin Sage, a Special Forces role-playing exercise in which students learn to work with guerrilla and underground forces, who are played by civilians. The 19-day wargame takes place in 14 counties in North Carolina dubbed "Pineland." In the past, civilians and law enforcement officers have played a part in the training. On Feb. 23, Butler stopped Phelps, Tomeny and Charles Leiber, a civilian participant. Butler placed Leiber in a passenger seat of his squad car and approached the truck. According to testimony Butler gave SBI investigators, the deputy said he searched Tomeny's bag and found two machine guns. He then wrestled the bag from Tomeny and threw it toward his car. Butler said Tomeny came toward him, forcing him to push the soldier with one hand and draw his gun with the other. Butler said he holstered his gun, removed his chemical spray and began to spray Tomeny. The two struggled. Butler said Phelps jumped from the truck. Butler again drew his weapon and commanded Phelps, who was now behind the patrol car, to put his hands up. He shot Phelps after he didn't comply and then turned toward Tomeny. He ordered Tomeny to show his hands and shot him twice when he did not comply. Butler said he felt the need to use deadly force because he was outnumbered and thought his life was in danger. Leiber, whose name is blacked out in the report, said in a six-page sworn statement April 24 that after Butler placed him in the squad car, he told Butler he was from Pineland. Leiber said he saw Tomeny try to bribe Butler with money from Pineland, which looks like Monopoly money. Phelps confirmed that Tomeny tried to offer the fake bribe. Both said Butler declined the bribe and asked Tomeny to remove the contents of the bag. "He turned toward the deputy; he was crouched down like he was going to lunge for the deputy," Leiber said. At this point the deputy started using the chemical spray. As he did so, Leiber said, Tomeny was backpedaling, screaming and shaking his head. Leiber said the deputy advanced on the soldier until the spray ran out; then he dropped the canister and took a couple of steps back, away from Tomeny. The deputy then drew his weapon and shot Tomeny. He immediately turned toward Phelps and shot him twice, according to Leiber. Phelps' account, given March 14, was similar, although he said he did not see Tomeny get shot. Phelps said he darted from the back of the truck after the deputy began to spray Tomeny. Phelps grabbed the bag, which the deputy had thrown from the back of the truck, and began to run. He continued to think that he was in a training scenario and that the deputy was part of the exercise. "I may have taken one or two steps when I heard two shots, double-tap speed," he said. Phelps said he stopped, crouched behind the squad car and turned toward Butler. "I immediately heard two more shots, just as before, I felt them hit my chest. I fell to the ground. I coughed up some blood." Andy Gregson, who handled the case for the Moore County District Attorney's Office, said it was clear to him that Butler did the right thing. "He's out there alone, with no backup, sees an automatic weapon and is threatened with death," Gregson said. "What else can he do?" Gregson said he has not seen the Army report but spoke with Army investigators in the days after the shooting. He said there would be no further investigation of the incident: "It's over." In the days after the shooting, Army officials said they had notified all law enforcement agencies about the training without giving them details. In April, the Army said it needed to do a better job notifying law enforcement agencies when students are training in their area, but made no mention of the specific policies requiring trainers to do so. "There was a belief within the military establishment that the law enforcement community was familiar with the exercise, particularly since it has been conducted for so many years," the statement said. But the newly released report said the sergeant in charge of the training "did not contact or coordinate with any members of law enforcement during the cycle break." "Now we have a very specific notification policy that requires a face-to-face meeting," said Maj. Sterns, the spokesman for the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School. He said law enforcement officers who participate in the training are now required to wear a distinctive uniform, and auxiliary members have identifiers on their cars.

Well John then please explain to the rest of the class how any anti gun legislation has ever passed? I will let you in on a secret, the politicians do not care if our rights are eroded, they retain all their rights through clauses and exemptions. BTW I am a graduate of the 6th grade, why do you ask? I attended Hanover Countryside School...
