Another wounded deer, hit by a car, that I really didn’t want to shoot. Another officer said he’d do it and I gladly said “Go right
ahead sir!” but his bullet missed the brain stem by just a fraction of an inch and left the deer still alive and twitching more but
now with one eyeball horrifically bulging out. “Well shit I could have done THAT myself!” I told him.
The small airplane pilot who crashed and flipped his small ’39 Ercoupe airplane in the woods not anywhere near a landing strip.
Engine had seized up midflight. After he regained consciousness and crawled out of the upside down wreckage, he called 911.
Nobody had seen him quietly lose altitude and crash in the middle of nowhere; his call was the first notification we had. He
wasn’t really sure where he had crashed but his cell phone location showed up at 911 and after running through the woods for
awhile I found him. An aid crew stabilized the pilot; he was bloodied and banged up but talking. Seemed relatively okay to me.
Off to the hospital he went, where his injuries worsened into complications and infections and two weeks later he died.
I was at an FBI training once about how to interview suspects and get them to confess. One of the instructors – an active duty
FBI agent – told the class a true first hand story about a rapist who was being questioned. There was not enough evidence to
arrest him, and he wasn’t admitting to anything even though the interviewers knew he was guilty. One of the interviewing agents
decided to try and get the suspect to confess by suggesting that just like fingerprints, a “penis print” had been obtained from the
victim’s vagina and so the agents were going to apply for a search warrant to see the suspect’s own unique penis print. That
didn’t scare the suspect enough to confess, so they let him go. The next time they talked to him he told them they would not be
able to get a penis print from him because he had found some sandpaper, and clearly had enough motivation to, uh, make it
impossible to get a penis print from him. Even though he wasn’t guilty.
