It bothered Bob Walsh that the officer did not shoot this tub of shit. It bothers me too! The ranger should have shot that hippo as he was pounding on the poor woman. At 300 lbs. and enraged, no cop by himself would have been able to grapple with that beast.
THE TRIGGER NOT PULLED

I try to not indulge in a lot of second-guessing of situations that went down when I was nowhere near. News reports are always missing something and are always suspect. Never the less this one bothers me a bit.
Yonnie Jackson, 40, is a big guy, he is 6-2 and weighs 300 pounds. His estranged wife is Sherry Jackson, 37, an elementary school principal here in Stockton. He has been stalking her for months, and broke into her house and set fire to it in July.
On Monday of this week he was waiting for her to come out of Wal-Mart. He jumped her from behind, beat her unconscious, and kept beating on her after she passed out.
An off-duty park ranger saw the incident after it started and drew down on Yonnie. Yonnie fled. The ranger did not shoot. There is now a warrant out for Yonnie, on attempted murder charges. There is no info currently available on Ms. Jackson’s condition.
I realize that there may be issues for any cop (and I don’t know what flavor this ranger was) shooting an unarmed black man, maybe in the back, even if he is attempting to beat an unconscious woman to death. It still bothers me.
NOTE: This particular piece of shit was arrested today.
