I always hear folks ask cops "Did you ever shoot anybody?" Does anyone have any humorous replies to this or related anecdotes? One favorite response: Yeah, but not as many as I wanted to shoot...

Well, I was in the army, and I shot lots of folks... Most of 'em was smilin' at the time... And most of 'em was on my side...

Shot 'em with a Canon - A 35mm Canon - I was an Army photojournalist...
 
"No, but I think about it every minute of every day, all the time!!! Uh, I'm sorry, was I speaking out loud?"

Thankfully no and hopefully never so.

Shooting someone is not something I would advise anyone to brag about as it could hauntingly come back in court. Imagine being on the stand when the plaintiff's attorney asks, "Officer (your name here), didn't you say that you'd blow their brains out each and every chance you'd get?"
 
Start blinking your left eye rapidly. Peer anxiously around, as if looking for enemies coming out of the woodwork, and announce: "He was dead when I got there-- I swear!" Then let your lower lip tremble, and stare at the questioner, while nodding your head rapidly and whispering, "You believe me, don't you?"

You don't often get asked twice, though... :D :D :D

I suggest the LEO should say that all comments on LEO-involved shootings must come from the Department's Public Affairs Officer. Let 'em wonder.
 
"My lawyer advised me not to answer any questions about that until the trial is over."
