1. This......

The startling story precludes the reality that police envision themselves as a protected class in society – to shoot first and ask questions later – even when off-duty.

2. The cop never identified himself before shooting at the teens

SPARTA, NJ – The mother of one of the boys involved in a shooting incident by an off-duty state trooper recounted the story on Tuesday. The trooper was allegedly shooting at a car occupied by teens who mistakenly went to his home.

<SNIP>

Lindsay Marasco said the three boys drove to Whispering Winds off of Sterling Hill Road to drop off Matthew Mayer at a friend’s house.

“After knocking on the door, they heard the loud voice from inside saying ‘I don’t know who the f*** you are, get off my f***ing property'," Marasco said. "They didn’t recognize the voice so they ran away. They ran to their car. Because it was in a cul-de-sac they had no choice but to drive past the house to get out. The man was in the street pointing his gun at them. They were scared and just wanted to get out of there. Then he shot his gun at them.”

She said the state trooper, Kissenger Barreau, did not identify himself as a police officer to the boys. This was confirmed by one of the other boys involved. His attorney has advised him not to discuss details at this time.

Also in the article - the mother told her son to call 911 and he did. Instead of getting help for being shot at by an unidentified man they were arrested.

Why would Barreau think he had the right to shoot at people who had knocked on his door then left when he told them to get off his property?

18. At least he's a bad enough shot the kids are all alive

Hopefully the cop will be arrested or at least fired for misusing his gun. Shooting at someone for knocking on your door is completely insane.

15. With a name like Kissinger...

you just know what would eventually happen.

[LuvNewcastle]

28. I was thinking along those lines, too.

Gotta reduce that population, you know. We have too many useless eaters out there.

19. Earth and Water

I Can just imagine this guy thinks of himself as some sort of "Leonidas" being from Sparta, NJ .....

"THIS IS MY LAWN!!!"

3. The cop needs to be arrested, not the kids. n/t

5. Too many times

This kind of thing has happened too often.
retraining of all law enforcement has to happen NOW
not next week, now!
even i know that de-escalation is step one, lesson one in any law enforcement situation. That this continues to happen nation wide, should be a giant red flag, hitting people right in the face.
these cops reach for their gun in any situation now, and they need to be retaught that the gun is the last possible answer

[Volaris]

9. That's why all police firearms should be kept in the patrol car, not on the officer.

[onethatcares]

35. oh hell,

they get stolen out of there too. Happens all the time here in sunny st petersburg fl. You'll have to google cause right now i'm lazy.

10. Cops in this country get too much of a free pass. Far too many people IMO still have schoolchild

visions of cops always really good. Guys like this need to be weeded out promptly. The problem is, often their superiors are just as bad and there is a permissive environment for bad behavior.

[flobee1]

6. And any officer or any form of security

That behaved this way are immediately stripped of their position, lose their right to own a firearm, and prohibited from that line of work .

7. True american hero's. nt

8. This psycho needs to go

before someone is seriously injured or killed by his trigger happy ways.

[Downwinder]

11. Need more proof of the Police State?

[world wide wally]

12. If a civilian did this, wouldn't it be attempted murder?

[awoke_in_2003]

17. That depends...

if the homeowner were white, and the door knocker African American, all bets would be off.

21. Remember the case of the Japanese who was killed by a homeowner?

Yoshihiro Hattori was a Japanese exchange student residing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States, at the time of his death. Hattori was on his way to a Halloween party and went to the wrong house by accident. The property owner, Rodney Peairs, shot and killed Hattori, thinking he was trespassing with criminal intent. The controversial homicide, and Peairs's subsequent acquittal in the state court of Louisiana, received worldwide attention.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Yoshihiro_Hattori

Non-white kid, white homeowner, kid dead, homeowner acquitted. That guy should have been sent to prison for the rest of his life.

As it is, the kid's parents won a civil suit and were awarded $650,000 of which they have been paid $100,000 by an insurance company.

13. Why were they arrested and not the cop? Is something missing from the article like say

a crime they committed? Because unless the article left something out I am not seeing any justification for arresting them nor am I am seeing why they didnt arrest the officer for shooting at the kids.

[Fumesucker]

26. They were probably charged with unlawfully evading police bullets

[HooptieWagon]

27. That's my question too.

[GreatGazoo]

30. >>He was eventually let go without any charges, he (Barkhorn) said.<<

More detailed article -- no contradictions, just more detail of the insanity:

http://www.nj.com/sussex-county/index.ssf/2015/07/teen_off-duty_trooper_fired_at_us_but_we_were_trea.html

and I love the last line:

Calls to a number listed for the trooper's home have not yet been returned, and no one answered a knock on the home's door Wednesday.

[cstanleytech]

31. Well the police department is going to have to answer why they arrested them eventually and not the

the officer wasnt on duty and who is the one who had a weapon and used it and I hope they a good reason to explain why the police department shouldnt be sued by the kids or their parents.

[bluedigger]

16. Sounds like the car is headed for the crusher.

Evidence? What evidence?

[Jerry442]

20. Either that, or will show up...

...with planted drugs, stolen property, and a recently discharged firearm.

[GoneFishin]

22. Cops go to wrong address, cops shoot wrong people. Citizens go to wrong address, cops

shoot wrong people.

"Protect and serve". Uh-huh.

[Roy Rolling]

23. What kind of knock was it?

Was it a friendly knock or a life-threatening knock?

Probably life-threatening. Otherwise, he wouldn't have opened the door, chased them down, and then opened-fire to keep those kids from finding the house they were looking for.

The only way to stop a bad teenager with a life-threatening door knock is a good guy with a gun.

Liberty!

24. Non 'police state' link..but more damning i think

25. It will be interesting to see what possible charge they can use.

[Chemisse]

29. Those poor kids

“One round struck a front wheel of the vehicle, prompting the teens to pull over a short distance away. One of the teens called his mother and then 911."

Can you imagine how scared they must have been? They had to call 911 to save them from a cop. And the guy is still on active duty!

36. Thanks, good news no one was killed. (Nothing else good about story) n/t

[V0ltairesGh0st]

33. "THIS IS A POLICE STATE !!!!! "

Can you imagine this guy, a state police officer from a town called "SPARTA" was yelling....can you just about put it word for word in his mind. Yeah i figured you might. These kids made an honest mistake and ran off innocently and are now enemies of the state.

WAY TO GO NEW JERSEY STATE POLICE

You are the heroes of the day...no one knocks without cowering before you and prostrating themselves as to why with you on duty. I feel So much Safer wayyyyyy over here in Oklahoma just because you guys step on the necks of these hardened criminals.
