Sorry...that dog don't hunt....the VP's SS detail had already made arrangements for VP to meet with the local gendarmes the next morning... You guys sound sillier by the moment. Were you ever a law enforcement officer? I've worked for with several depts, and they all have approximately the same protocol on shooting incidents, as do members of the EMS system. In all cases, the investigation of a shooting is handled like a crime scene until otherwise determined to be an accident. Shooters are routinely observed to determine if there are other circumstances involved, such as possible intoxication, legal weapon ownership and permits, etc. The V.P., as is my understanding, is not above the law, nor does he get some type of investigation immunity to the best of my limited knowledge. What I am suggesting is there may have been a motive in the delay of the meeting with law enforcement. Whatever the case, this was not handled by standard operating procedure. No shooting, in the law enforcement arena, is a casual event. Regards, WIJ

>>>Sorry...that dog don't hunt....the VP's SS detail had already made arrangements for VP to meet with the local gendarmes the next morning...<<< So what you're telling me is that I can shoot somebody, arrange to have that somebody transported to a hospital which, due to the serious nature of the injury, arranges to then have him airlifted to yet another hospital and, with all of this happening, I can make an appointment when my schedule permits for me to meet with local law authorities the next morning to describe how I shot someone. So you're telling me all of the above is on the up and up and perfectly OK with you.
