A police lieutenant in Tennessee was not arrested after shooting at a group of 20 children playing volleyball hear his home. The children were not on his property, but the mere sound of them playing at a nearby church was enough to enrage Michael Wilson, 58, to the point of opening fire on them with a BB gun. A 911 caller reported that a man with a gun was firing at the children… “We were just playing volleyball and all of the sudden I just heard a ‘gun-click’ sound and I was just freaking out because it was so fast and then all of sudden, something hits my leg,” one of the children, Addison Caldwell said. “My daughter came running in here saying ‘mom something got me in the back of the leg’ and yelling there’s a man shooting us and of course I’m like ‘oh my gosh what’s going on?’,” Caldwell’s mother, Angela Gulley, recalled. A total of three children were shot by the BBs, but when officers arrived they didn’t open fire on him like John Crawford or Tamir Rice, who never fired a shot from their BB guns. Instead, the intoxicated lieutenant was placed on paid administrative leave while the department investigates the shooting. He was charged, and must appear in court on June 3rd, but he was not arrested in spite of the fact that he opened fire on children. Watch the local report below… “He’s a lieutenant and I don’t think that’s right for him to be doing that,” Caldwell commented on Wilson’s bizarre and frightening actions. “It just kind of hurts. I’m still in shock that we have someone in our county that would hurt our children and be in a position that was supposed to protect us and not bully us.” So what’s that you say about people getting into law enforcement to help people? Maybe, just maybe, there are those who get into positions of power so they can abuse and hurt people.

Wow! Did Jade Helm 15 start date got moved forward??? You said something liked this was gonna happen. But not this early. You better let Alex know this….RIGHT NOW!!!
He was charged, and must appear in court on June 3rd, but he was not arrested in spite of the fact that he opened fire on children. When you are "charged" and have a date in court... YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED. There are two kinds of arrest. Custodial arrest and non custodial arrests. Each states Criminal Procedure Laws dictate what offenses can be handled non custodial... yet this bright YELLA journalism wants you to think he wasn't "arrested" at all buy titling it with "Cops Refuse To Arrest Officer", because he was non custodial arrested. Deckard should pay Stone another 50 bucks for posting a lie. With all this said, if this idiot did shoot kids, with a BB gun, for ANY REASON, on or off his property, while in an intoxicated condition, he should be hanged by the neck until dead, after his constitutional trial by jury or judge.
The point is - if the drunken old fart who was shooting a BB gun at kids hadn't been a cop, this would have gone down much differently. He wasn't arrested at the scene - his cop buddies said "hey man, just show up in court, we got your back".
I agree. You never would have posted the story.
