TOUGH GUY: Public Schools Cop Shoots At Fleeing Kids Who Had Been MAKING OUT

School district officials in Tulsa, Okla. have placed one of the district’s police officers on paid administrative leave because he fired his gun at a vehicle containing a pair of teenagers who were trying to get busy in a car.

The shooting incident happened over the weekend in the parking lot of Eliot Elementary School, reports Tulsa Fox affiliate KOKI.

The unidentified school cop fired at the back of the vehicle as the 17-year-old driver was fleeing the scene, according to the real Tulsa police detectives who later investigated the incident.

The kids in the car were “probably doing something that they shouldn’t have been,” Tulsa police spokesman Chris Payne told KOKI.

there is no justification for what the cop did (according to the article). He should be fired and possibly prosecuted.

flying as a prank. An asshole cop shot at him several times and nearly killed him.

A few of those charges and this bullshit would happen less often. No felony? No danger to the cop or anyone else? No gunfire. Simple, huh? Attempted murder.

by a "good guy with a gun." Just the kind of asswipe we need protecting our schools and our kids.
