"San Diego Chargers linebacker Steve Foley, who was shot by an off-duty Coronado police officer last year, is suing the city of Coronado and the cop who shot him." ...
"Mansker shot Foley twice Sept. 3 after following him for 10 miles from San Diego into a Poway cul-de-sac near Foley's home."
"Mansker, 23, said he suspected Foley, 31, of drunken driving after watching him driving erratically in his customized Oldsmobile Cutlass on state Route 163 at speeds up to 90 mph. He told investigators he shot the player after Foley walked toward him, raised his shirt and reached into this waistband."
"... Both Foley and Gaut later said through Gaut's attorney they acted in self-defense and thought Mansker was a carjacker or a fan, rather than a police officer." ... |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
