B24 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 A San Diego Charger was shot Sunday morning by an off duty police officer. It happened around 3:30 Sunday morning..when an off duty Coronado police officer started following a man who was driving erratically. Police say the driver is Chargers linebacker Steve Foley.http://www.kusi.com/home/3815221.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Aw, s*it. Hope he's OK.EDIT: More from the same link now...The officer identified himself several times as a police officer, but Foley would not pull over. Foley then drove to his own neighborhood in Poway where he got out of the car and his girlfriend got behind the wheel. Police say Foley came at the officer who fired a warning shot. The woman then drove the car at the officer. The officer fired into the car, then shot Foley. But police say Foley kept coming, and the off duty officer shot him several more times. Foley was taken to Sharp Hospital for surgery. The woman was taken into custody. No charges have been filed yet. Steve Foley was arrested back in April for battery on a police officer and public drunkeness.Shot multiple times...does not sound good. Guys over on the chargers f2fa board say local radio is reporting that the injuries aren't life-threatening, tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaronburr Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'm curious how an off-duty cop identifies himself to a fellow driver in the middle of the night.I bet Matthias Askew is glad he doesn't live in San Diego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bengalboomer7 Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 If I'm sober and it's the middle of the afternoon and an off duty cop gives me s**t, I'd tell him to f**k off. A police officer is a job, not a lifestyle.Since I work in communications, I now reserve the right to at any time tell anyone to shut the f**k up. I also reserve be quiet, shut up, stop talking, put a sock in it, cram it, and tne obligatory f**k off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofLnMU Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 I'm at a loss that an off-duty cop discharges his weapon three times in a suburban area. On-duty personnel don't want to have to fire their weapon until ABSOLUTELY necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronburr Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 contines to his hoodHis "hood" looked pretty nice on the local L.A. news. Much nicer than any "hood" I ever lived in.I'm at a loss that an off-duty cop discharges his weapon three times in a suburban area. On-duty personnel don't want to have to fire their weapon until ABSOLUTELY necessary.His neighbor (white yuppie type) said he heard 6-8 shots. Something doesn't add up.

BlainThePain Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 It turns out that the cop was only 23 and it was like his first year on the job as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincy9275 Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 an off duty cop follows you for 30 miles . when you pull in your own driveway . a guy in street cloths pulls a gun on you and says he's a cop then shots you 3 times in the leg probably ending his career. who's to say this guy is not some retard trying to rob you . this young cop went way way to far he should have called the local police and let them handle it . now there claiming Foley was on steroids and are demanding samples of Foley's blood to test for steroids . there claiming steroids were the reason he was pissed . no some young punk follows you 30 miles then pulls a gun and shots you . i think i would be pissed too . i smell a law suit against the police force and this rookie retard .
