Pollock was shot in the torso. Police say he was taken to Mercy Medical Center, where he's since been treated and released.

A vehicle at a park at 2:30 a.m. is definitely suspicious. I dont know many people that go out for a picnic or to the play ground at that time of the morning. Or were they fishing? Hmmmmmmm. Doesnt take a genious to see that something didnt add up to the vehicle being there at that time of the day.

dili...who determines what a suspicious vehicle is...people have every right to protect their property...in several case's cops have a tendancy to go overboard...not enough information in this case...Butch has got this one correct...wtg butch54

It's hard to tell with all the reports about cops if you need to shoot first and ask questions later. To many dirty cops in the news. Then look at the sentences they get as opposed to regular criminals. I'm moving for equal term sentences. Deal cocaine being a cop and get a couple of years. The people they were in it with get a couple of decades. Why trust them or the justice system.

must not have been a high powered gun if he's already out of the hospital with a gut shot.

Damn, a cop cant even check on a suspicious vehicle without some POS thug in the woods trying to pop a cap in his ass.
