Man At Bar Ribs Cop 'Aw, You Suck At Darts,' Cop Responds 'I Can Do Whatever I Want,' Pulls Out Gun & Executes Him - informationliberation

A man at a bar in Murrieta, California ribbed an off-duty cop that he 'suck[ed] at darts,' the cop, 42-year-old Dayle Long, reportedly responded by pulling out a gun and executing him in front of a shocked crowd in an incident one man described as 'the most horrific scene I've seen in my entire life.'

Patch.com reports:

Chris Hull, a 39-year-old Temecula resident, said he was inside the bar and saw the shooting happen.

Hull said he witnessed a man walking up while Hull and a group of friends were playing darts. The man reportedly identified himself as an off-duty cop and started a discussion with the group about darts.

“We were playing darts, and he says 'I’m better at darts than you are,”' Hull said.

“My buddy says, ‘Aw, you suck at darts.’ (The man) says, ‘That’s why I’m a cop, I can do whatever I want to do.’”

Hull said his friend, identified only as Danny, asked the man, “Really, you can do anything?” The man then pulled out his gun, Hull said, and after the group repeatedly asked him to put it away he “pops three rounds into my friend Sam.”

Hull identified his friend as Sam Venettes. He didn't answer a request for Vanette's age or hometown, but said he was a "hardworking guy" who "works three jobs."

Police have not released any information on the name of the victim.

"I just watched the most horrific scene I've seen in my entire life," Hull told Patch.

"This is the worst day of my life."

It should be noted, the cop was a 10-year veteran of the force.

So fucked up. Thoughts?

I'm only speculating, really, given that there's not much information about this online. Some police departments are pretty big organisations, people can be in and out on sick leave, self-medicating etc. and slowly slipping through the cracks. To me it kind of reads like he had a psychotic break, but I guess it'll come out in the wash eventually.

Further proof that being a cop doesn't mean you're smart/cool/educated/not a complete fucking asshole/have any brain in your head, etc. Especially in America. I had a cop in Florida say "for all I know you could be a terrorist, they did come from Canada after all" this was his reaction to us having run out of gas and then finding out I wasn't from there. Obviously no where near as fucked up as this story but you know, cops aren't any smarter than your average high school drop out for the most part.

The educational requirements for police vary from state to state and city to city. I think it is terrible what happened in this situation but it is not fair to assume all cops are like this guy or that we are all high school drop outs. I have my bachelors degree and so do most of my coworkers in fact our department requires at least 90 credits or an associates degree.
