Cop Arrested For Shooting Himself, Blaming It On Motorist
Submitted by Cassius Methyl via TheAntiMedia.org,
Late last month, an Arkansas police officer sparked a manhunt and investigation after claiming a motorist shot him during a traffic stop.
In reality, the officer shot himself, and once authorities discovered this, he was subsequently fired and arrested for filing a false police report.
According to local NBC affiliate KXAN, Officer David Houser “called in a traffic stop about 2 a.m. on Oct. 24, on rural state highway 15, about 30 miles east of Little Rock. Shortly after calling in the stop, Houser reported to police dispatch that the driver had shot him and he had returned fire with his service weapon.”
Last month, a news release from the department featured Houser’s detailed account of the non-existent incident. The police were initially incensed that someone tried to kill an officer. Houser had claimed a bullet “grazed across his bullet-resistant vest and deflected off a pen,” and that he knocked the Hispanic shooter’s gun away as he fired at him.
The officer claimed the shooter managed to get away.
However, investigators soon noticed holes in Houser’s story.
“The more we investigated, the more it became clear that the details of his story were inconsistent,” Police Chief Nathan Cook said. “We went after it as if we were going after someone who had just tried to kill a police officer.”
“The crime scene was staged. The bullet hole was self-inflicted,” Cook continued. “He had laid out some different caliber (casings) to make it appear he had exchanged gunfire. He did discharge his service weapon.” Though Cook explained the inconsistencies in the story, it remains unclear why Houser shot himself in the first place.
After being fired on Monday for admitting he lied during the investigation into his unlikely story, he turned himself in on Tuesday.
“I’ve heard he’s a very good guy, so this is shocking and it’s disappointing, but he’s going to be held accountable,” Lonoke County Sheriff John Staley said. “It happens enough in reality. You pray that when you make a traffic stop, it won’t happen. And it does. Why would you ever make that up? What would he gain from that? It’s just amazing to me.”
He was booked into the Lonoke County Detention Center, according to state police and Sheriff’s office records.
Unsurprisingly, he immediately walked out after paying bond.

Coming on the heels of yesterday's news that an Illinois cop staged his own suicide after being caught stealing money from a kid's fund, today's news is just pouring more fuel on the fire of public faith in America's police force.

Sweet home Illinois. stealing from a youth league? economy really is in the shytter....
Veteran Chicago cop convicted of excessive force by federal juryI dont trust anyone with glowing red eyes
These animals are dressed to the nines.
I'm waiting for the inevitable "He followed all department policies and procedures." line. That always gets them out of jail.
might become hillry's sec of state
Don't forget Obama!!!

if that 6 yr old had been taught the department policies and procedures he could have stayed out of the way and not interfered with those "heros". but nooo; he got right in the way of their bullets. No way they were responsible. It was that uneducated 6 yr old's fault.
what if they are the glowing red eyes of an heroic 1st responder?
A lot of cops are assholes. That being said, there is a definite agenda at play to demonize the po po and incite the dindu's. This plays into the divide and conquer, social unrest, martial law meme.
If only we could figure out who owns the media and what their endgame is... Derp.
The mainslime cheesepope media will never say.
"You take a guy who was a thug in high school, who didn't have the talent to develop the skill to be a plumber or a carpenter. He puts a gun on his hip and a badge on his jacket and suddenly he becomes a paragon of virtue? The exact opposite is true. Most guys who become cops are the ones who didn't have the guts to be a crook and they wanted protection." -- author Douglas Valentine
+1 Every kid i knew in High school who became a cop. Extroverted domineering bullies. Eager to establish dominance of smaller kids. Fuckin shame.
Too bad this Cop didn't finish the job on himself. Worthless sack of shit was willing to destroy an innocent persons life to cover up his criminality and incompetence.
What else is new? That's the Pure Evil Psychopaths method of operation. 365 days a year 24 / 7

Andy, can I use my bullet?
Not 1/4 as good as Barney, or even 1% as moral. Incompetent, unqualified, disturbed, and a hazard to the general public, you bet.
Alleged Victim in 'War on Cops' Was a Suicide
Charles Joseph Gliniewicz died by his own hand.
In Ny, CT, Illinois or some other Liberal public union paradise he would be awarded a medal!
This story hits pretty close to home for me. Hwy 15 goes north a few more miles, than becomes Hwy 89, which runs by my parents' house just south of Cabot. I was there two weeks ago, and we were talking about the cop "exchanging fire" with "some Mexican guy" right down the road. You hear stories like that and think: how in the world could that happen and how did the guy manage to survive it? But most are still willing to give the authorities the benefit of the doubt (which Darren Wilson certainly deserved, but others, well....).
I'm stunned by the plot twist on this one. I know some of the Lonoke County cops, and they're pretty good guys.
Motivation? Free drinks for the next couple of years as he retells the heroic tale.
or he was looking for trauma related disability

How about these dumb fucks...
A 6-year-old boy was killed and his father critically injured after city marshals fired at a fleeing vehicle, according to Louisiana State Police.

Key word: FLEEING VEHICLE!...these dumb cunts think they're still in the middle east...fuckers.
'these dumb cunts think they're still in the middle east'
you're right +1 - that's one big part of the problem. Simple basic neuroendicrinology - you get addicted to your body's own epinephrine and cortisol - 'adrenaline high' and every call from cat up a tree, to old lady wandering in her undies results in hyper-excitement and every civilian a threat.Tough to get excited about video games, no matter the graphics, and tough not to smash the face in of every asshole on a train who steps on your toe. [Guys with some modicum of martial arts training per service do stand out as less affected, imo. ]
and the other part, is on purpose.
These disgusting pricks think it is ok to kill a kid, or anyone, as long as "socitey" is theoretically protected.
They don't give a shit who they kill because they are immune. Even if you accept this as legal, it is immoral. You know what would happen if a non-police did the same thing. Manslaughter or worse.
They don't know the first thing about gun safety ... if you cannot be sure of your background you cannot fire! It doesn't matter if that puts you at risk.
Once the great unwashed is conditioned to think that the needs of the collective to be safe is greater than the rights of the individual- it's game over.
But read all the way to the end of the article
"We are definitely all shaken up," he said. "It's been a tough day at work for all of us."
yep, it's a tough day when you just go around randomly shooting 6 yr olds. them 6 yr olds are tough customers.
need to take these mo fo cops out and string em up.
Probably wanted to go on disability, and then onto a gold-plated pension.
War on cops, by cops.
puts a whole new spin on suicide by cop
War on cops by cops. Finally, a positive trend for the common folk.
He'll still get his pension?
So where is the demand for recapture of manhunt expenses?
See, that's where I thought this was going. Pension plus a nifty little disability claim.
Only someone who hasn't advanced beyond Maslow's "Level 2" would want to be a cop, (most kids pass that around age 8 or 9) ...I guess that's why they're called pigs?
The Facade of Hero's is falling apart. Tin badge by Tin badge.
The quality of people available for any job today is declining rapidly. I should post some of the resumes I get.
After almost 40 years of dealing with cops and hearing so many messed up stories directly from the horse’s mouth I believe half of all cops should be fired tomorrow. But then again half of all gubbermint workers should be terminated too.
Please elaborate on this word "terminated."
shot
Crime and fraud, It starts at the top and trickles down for real.
Well, the gods have certainly made mad... but they seem to be needlessly tarrying with the destroying bit.
It's a huge $business, law enforcement.
"Show me the man, and I'll find you the crime..."
Well, cops aren't exactly known for their high IQs.

After this little episode, does anyone believe that a cop would shoot someone JUST TO SCORE THE PAID VACATION?!?
Everyone wants to be a hero. Oddly enough this deranged bastard and thousands like him can carry a sidearm into the Post Office while I cannot.......
Don't talk to cops...here is why:

" faith in the polices forces of America"
You know what has broken my faith in the cop as a public servant, the one you call for help? It is my observation of the type of man the police now recruit and hire. I have watched cops change from when I was a kid, and we knew the local cops, they could be trusted to answer a kids question, or to give you a break if you deserved a little slack. When a warning was all that might be needed. We knew these guys families, their kids we went to school with.
All that is gone. Cops are not even living in the districts they police. In fact, their rule now days is NO fraternization with the enemy [I mean public]. Cops socialize with cops and nobody else. It's a club, you join and when you do you leave society behind, society is now your target, not your fellow man.
I have seen cops go from the guy next door type, to shaved headed balloon muscled freaks. They don't EVEN look normal! The ones that look normal are still shaving their heads and either doing steroids, of growing plain fat. Big is in, huge is better. The look in their eyes, the tone in their voice is all you need to see. Violent manipulation of citizens in a society that has so many laws that no man can live without breaking one nearly every day.
I don't even trust our small town cops. They are now hired from 'out of town' candidates more often than not. Either punks with giant muscles and tatoos just out of junior college, or worse, the punk who did 4 years in the Army, as a prelude to their cop careers. Thinking they now have achieved a power position, something they didn't have as junior enlisted men.
We recruit cops from the bottom half of society, prison guards from the bottom quarter, private security from the bottom itself.
The videos making the rounds would be a world headline story is it was any one but a cop doing the violence. As one black guy said when he was ordered out of his car, "if I get out, you gonna kill me." "No says the cops, we won't". And then shot him dead for not getting out of the car.
In Massachusetts a cop crashed his cruiser into a tree (probably texting and driving). Then shot the cruiser with his own gun and claimed he was shot at by a passing driver and then crashed.
Standard cop line of public pablum horsecock:
"We are reviewing our training protocols."
I have a cop hunting buddy who is K9 cop w dog trained as cadaver dog and tracker as well as drug sniffer. He helped the Search for shooters following this Illinois incident. Day two he said it just doesn't look right.
As to all cops being steroided up Darth Vaders you can never say all.
I choose those I spend time with carefully. Show me your friends and I'll show you your future .
That being said what the hell is up with cops wearing black leather gloves anyway? What is up with shaved heads and 300 dollar shades? Society as a whole is becoming dumb and dumber..
We just had a high school teacher charged with video taping high school girls volley ball team in their locker room.
We are not going in the right direction people. We need to turn it around before this hits critical mass. I think there is a term called terminal velocity at which time an object will not fall any faster. I am not a physicist and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night but I think as a society we are close to reaching terminal velocity.
What is coming will turn on so fast and push group behavior so far outside what is deemed "normal" behavior we will not know what hit us.
Choose your friends carefully. Always keep one eye on your bobber.
"I have a cop buddy"
"Choose your friends carefully"
"We need to turn it around before(?) this hits critical mass."
Lol, get a grip mate.
If "it" gets turned around, it'll get turned around 360 degrees...
Just broke. Ofc not guilty after shooting suspect on his belly in the back twice. www.pennlive.com
this probably happens more then you would want to know...............
It sounds to me like maybe this cop who shot himself slightly and then tried to cover it up may have had a recent mental derailment.
He had no reasonable motive.
Probably about 3% of young cops lose their minds. They should be observed closely by some special unit. Seriously.
And the sheep continue to idolize these dolts
