UPS! Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/crime&id=7434871&rss=rss-wpvi-article-7434871 Officer down.......... syke? -A police sergeant shot himself in the shoulder, then claimed he heroically defended himself from an attack, the Philadelphia police commissioner announced Tuesday morning. Sgt. Robert Ralston claimed he was shot in the early morning hours of April 5th in the 5600 block of Lancaster Avenue. At the time, Ralston claimed he approached the two suspects, described as black males, at the intersection. One man fled, while the other man ran up an embankment bordering the railroad tracks. Ralston said he grabbed the suspect by the shoulder, who then turned around with a silver revolver in his hand, and pointed it at his head. The sergeant said he smacked the gun away as it went off, the bullet hitting him in the left shoulder. At a news conference Tuesday, Commissioner Charles Ramsey said Ralston made the story up. Ramsey said the evidence at the scene did not match Ralston's story. One piece of evidence: The gunpowder residue found on Ralston's shirt matched ammunition used by the police department. "It was clear to us, soon after it took place, that this was simply not true. The evidence did not support the story he was giving," said Ramsey. At around midnight, Ramsey said homicide detectives brought Ralston in for further questioning, and Ralston allegedly continued to tell them he was attacked by two black males. However, at around 4:00 a.m. Tuesday, police say Ralston admitted to making the story up. Ramsey said he did not know why Ralston would shoot himself and make up this story. "There is some speculation he did it to bring attention to himself, to try to get a transfer," Ramsey said. Ralston had four prior suspensions and was recently transferred to the 19th District. The commissioner also said that Ralston's claim that he was attacked by two black males "inflamed tension in our community." No one was arrested in connection with this case. Ramsey said the department will do everything in its power to make Ralston pay for the cost of the investigation. Ralston will be suspended with intent to dismiss later Tuesday, Ramsey said. Ralston is a 21-year veteran of the force. Ralston was granted immunity from criminal prosecution in exchange for a confession, Ramsey said. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crocodile Tears Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 vaccinations and immunizations are very important at the beginning of flu season. most people underestimate how quickly an infectious cold could spread and put your family in jeopardy. risking your job and staging a shooting to get one is totally understandeeeerpable.

Realism Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I feel like if DAO were still with us, (like before anyway) this thread would morph into a rant about how there had to have been shooters, but the police are too faggoty to find them, and the shooters are faggots for not finishing the job properly. Faggots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
