Off-Duty Police Shooting in Baltimore

The Raw Story reports on a terrible Baltimore police shooting.

A Baltimore man is dead after he "made advances" on a woman whose male companion, an off-duty police officer, responded by shooting the man six times, news reports say.

According to a report from Baltimore police, the police officer may have fired 13 times at 32-year-old Tyrone Brown, a Marine and four-year veteran of the Iraq war, hitting Brown six times in the chest.

The Baltimore Sun identifies the shooter as "Gahiji A. Tshamba, a 15-year veteran of the city police force."


It turns out the officer in question shot a fleeing suspect in the back ten years ago.

I don't care if you're a cop or a civilian with a concealed carry permit, too many of you are unfit to own guns. This is just one more example. If that doesn't apply to you, don't get all defensive and make excuses for these guys. They're giving all of you a bad name.

  1. "They're giving all of you a bad name."

    And MikeB302000 intends to SPREAD that bad name to every single one of the 5 anti-gun people who read his blog, and the 100 Pro-gun people will just shake their heads.

    And of course his solution to "10%" (made up) of people giving us a bad name is to disarm the other 90%.

    That's anti-rights compassion!

    Because they REALLY CARE!

    People get defensive because of your blatant double-talk.

    First you say if it doesn't apply to you, don't get offensive, then you turn around and apply it to everyone by saying it gives all of you a bad name.

  3. Dear AztecRed, I hate to break it to you , but it's not my double-talk that's giving you a bad name, it's the behavior of your fellow (lawful) gun owners.

  4. I see this as an example of why everyone, including the police, should be disarmed.

  5. I see the gunloons are now attempting an impersonation of me. How flattering.

    Hey, MikeB--how about an IP address for the impersonator?

  6. The impersonation problem could easily be rectified by having your own Google account or OpenID.

    At least you didn't deny that is was double talk. I can now say you're an honest person.

  10. Oops, never mind, Mikeb. I figured out what happened. As usual, I had my head up my ass, and when I pulled it out for a brief moment, the oxygen caused me to state what I really think, and I lost consciousness shortly there after. All is well.
