Typical Firefighter MEDIC death penalty THUG

I find it VERY uncomfortable a medic having such death wishes for his fellow citizens. It's a short leap from being judge jury and executioner in the back of an ambulance.

You DO SEE these thugs, right? Look at the people at your fire station and in your ambulances.... THUGS. Make no mistake. And many are also short clearly opening the door for short guy syndrome.

BEWARE and read down to south suwannee county.

A Tampa man was wounded Sunday night after he pointed a shotgun at officers who responded to a domestic dispute, police said.

The officers approached a home in the 1300 block of W Grace Street about 9:15 p.m. after a woman's 911 call, Assistant Police Chief Marc Hamlin said. During the 911 call, the woman was whispering into the phone and said someone in the house had a gun.

Three officers went to the house, and the woman came outside. That's when the officers saw a man with a shotgun, Hamlin said. The man pointed it at one of the officers, who shot him in the arm, Hamlin added.

Christopher Labrado, 34, suffered wounds that aren't life threatening, police said. It was Labrado's wife who made the 911 call, according to Hamlin.

Hamlin identified the officer involved as Carlos Houston, a six-year veteran who has been a Tampa officer for three years.

lvnthedream Sep 5, 2011 2:39 AM About 12 hours ago Terrible tragedy that a man was killed most likely because he was drunk, high, or stoned. I feel bad for the officers, family, girlfriend, and all involved. I am glad that no police, or anyone else involved was injured or hurt. Condolences to the family.

Report Abuse 1 0 Mr Kitty Sep 5, 2011 3:17 AM About 11 hours ago It's nice to know that people who comment on articles are continuing in the fine tradition of not actually reading the articles. It's says that his injuries are not life threatening. AND you mind numbing twit, it was his wife not his girlfriend. And to automatically assume that the person was high, drunk or stoned (by the way being high and stoned are the same thing genius)just displays your own preconceived bias and ignorance.

Report Abuse 0 2 WTFIUWSPT Sep 5, 2011 4:04 AM About 10 hours ago Officer Houston, thank you for not killing this man. I know it may have been an accident but if not, I appreciate that you could have and did not. People make stupid mistakes, they should not die for them and hopefully we'll never hear from Mr. Labrado again .... hope he learned a lesson and was not suicidal and that everything will turn out well for him. Take your fellow officers up to the range and show them the other parts on the body target to go for. Don't let them leave until they can go for something that is NOT a vital organ every time..

Close range to a shotgun, the cop wouldn't have stood much of a chance. I hope that the only reason he didn't hit him in the chest is because his arm was in the way (holding his shotgun). Reply
Report Abuse 1 4 WTFIUWSPT Sep 5, 2011 12:43 PM About 2 hours ago At or towards?? Big difference. To wit: "she came outside to talk and that's when officers saw man with shotgun." Did he see THEM? Or turn to look towards them? ergo gun moved with him? TPD cops are in serious need of more training. I've read their manual searching for why they don't know what drug houses look like. I've seen little tiny cops like bill dill call out nine cops over a boundary dispute where no one was armed or even angry. WTF? Only three cops here for a shot gun?The lady was walking around freely and using the phone. Something more to this story. It's a bad neighborhood and street but labrado has no record. Houston is a six year vet but only 3 years as an officer? I agree it was probably an accidental shooting in the arm. But there is much hyperbole when guns are involved. Get a grip. The man if distraught, did not deserve to die for being stupid or troubled. Reply

Report Abuse 0 0 hardraada Sep 5, 2011 10:13 AM About 4 hours ago heh. I did not say so in my own post (below) but if Officer Houston did NOT hit the man's arm because - as both you and I speculate - the arm was in front of his chest, then Officer Houston needs to go to the shooting range all right. To practice more. Reply

I also disagree he pointed the gun "at" them... chances are he did not see them and just turned towards them. He has no record at all and that's pretty significant at his age. Reply

Perhaps you're just a much nicer person than I am. I don't think pointing a shotgun at a law enforcement officer is just "a stupid mistake" and yes, you SHOULD have to die for it. The man got off lucky. I assume the officer was shooting at center-mass but a man holding a shotgun has his arms in front of his chest.

WTFIUWSPT Sep 5, 2011 2:36 PM Less than a minute ago mr/ms ssc, I am normally the last one to point out spelling. I just wonder if you are aware of your very frequent misspellings? I wonder where you were a ff/medic because here in tampa they require at LEAST a GED. Please don't take this as an insult as I said I don't personally care if y ou misspell your own name. I just wonder if there is a place for ff/medics where the standards are even lower than Tampa and Hillsborough County? As well, are you employed again? Just curious. And not in a mean way. Please don't misconstrue my comments.

Report Abuse lanienus Sep 5, 2011 10:35 AM About 4 hours ago It's always smart to be walking around with a SHOTGUN when police arrive on domestic calls. Perhaps a machette in the other hand would add to the fashion statement. This keeps officers alert and lets hem know you are not just another brick in the wall.
