Yo, it appears no one is safe anymore. The "law and order" of Howard County, Maryland are doing their best to compete with the cruddyness of the Baltimore City PD. So they get a complaint about a disturbance at a retirement home. The place only accepts people 62 years and older. To make a long story short, this old bat comes diving at the cops with a knife and they clapped her ass in the hips. LMAO!! She went straight to shock trauma. The officers are now on "administrative leave". How you gonna shoot an old lady in the hips?!! And you ask me why I don't like cops...What a mess...
Krizz

Howard County police this morning released the names of two officers involved in the shooting of a 62-year-old woman yesterday at the senior citizen apartment complex in Columbia where she lives.Police said Pearl Harris, 62, was waving a large knife while confronting Officer Matthew Mehrer. When another officer, Pfc. Mark Baxter, ordered Harris to drop the knife, she lunged at Mehrer, police said. Baxter fired his gun once and struck Harris in the hip, police said.The officers were responding to a call around 4:30 p.m. about a disturbance in an apartment at the 99-unit Park View at Snowden River complex in the 8600 block of Snowden River Parkway. The complex is for residents 62 and older.The shot injured Harris in the lower torso, and she was taken to Maryland Shock Trauma. Late last night she was upgraded from serious condition and was reported to be stable; she is expected to be released today, police said.
Police said Harris was acting erratically at the time of the shooting.Harris will be transferred to a psychiatric facility for evaluation, police said. She will not face possible criminal charges until necessary treatment is complete.Both officers have been placed on administrative leave. Baxter has been with the department since 2001, and Mehrer graduated from the police academy in February and is in his 11th week of field training.This was the second police-involved shooting in less than a month in Howard County.
