NORTON, Mass. – The husband of a Massachusetts woman shot by an off-duty state trooper hunting deer after dark is questioning the trooper’s target identification.
If you’re confusing a woman, or even a dog for a deer, you don’t have a clear shot and SHOULD NOT MAKE ONE. Of course being a cop, the “Only One” mentality is in full-gear.
Authorities say the shooting was accidental. A state police spokesman says Bergeron was properly licensed and faces no criminal charges. The investigation continues.
Ummm you shot a woman thinking she was a deer. If I mistake a loaded gun from an unloaded one and shoot somebody do you think no charges will be filed?
Nope I don’t have a badge so I’ll lose my rights. Really I’d deserve it, there isn’t much margin for error when shooting, that goes double for hunting which is sport. The cop isn’t going hungry because he didn’t fill his freezer that day. No he was shooting a deer for the sport of it and shot a woman walking her dogs.
Nope you don’t get a pass for that, buddy, and neither should I.
She was such a deer woman.
(Yes, I’m going to hell for that one)

Hunting after Dark? In my neck of the woods, we call that POACHING!
You know, I missed that tidbit, last I checked its illegal to shoot deer after dark in most places isn’t it? Or is it just us poor folks in states like NY and MA with laws like that?

Deer God! How hard is it to differentiate between a woman and a deer? Deers don’t wear lipstick.
When you’re illegally hunting after dark, VERY hard!
Unless that cop was specifically going for urban deer, what was he doing in the same neighborhood as a woman walking her dogs?
I certainly haven’t heard anything. I suspect he was illegally hunting with his badge as his permit.
BTW dig the avatar! Tenchi LOVE!
I just had to use Washu — for several years, I was a professional Mad Scientist. (I did it for a museum.)
NEAT!
911 transcript. I love the part where he’s asking the woman why she wasn’t wearing orange.
