Riverside Sheriff Deputies Shooting People for the Crime of Off Road Riding

by

Yesterday I went on a small rant at Under My Helmet about a pair of renegade Riverside County Sheriff Deputies who fired shots at un-armed off roaders near Canyon Lake.

According to the Sheriff’s department, the Rhino tried to run over one of two sheriff’s when ordered to stop.

According to eye witnesses, the 2 sheriff’s approached the rhino from behind with guns drawn, the frightened rhino driver fled, a sheriff ran at and lunged onto the rhino getting drug before falling off, then his partner started shooting at the rhino.

So basically what happened is that these undesirable laws were enacted which instantly made criminals out of otherwise law abiding citizens (nothing new, I know), and now the gun-slinging sheriffs who thought they were Judge, Jury and Executioner were unleashed on these new “criminals” who shot between 9 and 11 shots at them. (Not only are these sheriff’s irrational, they irresponsible when it comes to keeping track of such things as how many shots were fired.)

Sounds to me like the cops were just pissed because they couldn’t force the people to stop. I can’t blame them, it’s natural when you’re in a position of authority to want to control the situation. What separates the quality cops from the rent-a-cops is how they handle the situation when they CANT control it.

    Maybe you should encourage people to ride their dirtbike in places where it is not a problem and is legal, instead of whining about the police, you moron.
