Idaho Cities to Pay to Fix Bullet Holes
GARDEN CITY, Idaho – After officers fired 22 shots at a fleeing man without hitting him, Boise and Garden City police departments say they’ll pay nearly $7,000 to repair bullet holes in homes that were hit during the wild confrontation.
According to insurance claims filed with both departments by residents, shots fired by four officers in pursuit of 39-year-old Harlan Hale hit doors, windows, window moldings, garage doors, an all-terrain-vehicle and a clothes dryer. No one was injured in the March 9 chase.
Garden City is a town of about 11,000 residents surrounded by the city of Boise.
Nice to see the cops in Garden City are busy shooting up the place. (For those of you not from the area, Garden City is Boise’s “bad side of the tracks”, a penis-shaped city that follows the Boise River through the northwest part of Boise.) Four guys firing five to six shots each and they couldn’t hit the target.
Hale was the target of a manhunt because he did shoot at two officers during a traffic stop. He didn’t hit them, either. C’mon, Idaho! Y’all are red-state gun-lovin’ people! Learn to aim!
