Should They Be Held Accountable?

posted 4th Nov

Last year, one of our local police officers Deputy Keith Bellar was gunned down at what he thought was a traffic accident. It turned out to be a domestic dispute. He pulled over to assist and never made it out of his car. The man who shot him was our local 911 Operators estranged husband. The husband then turned the gun on himself. Gunman died on the scene. The deputy died the next day. The gunman's blood is stained on the road to this day. It happened on a residential street. The gunman ran his estranged wife off the road (tire marks are still visible too). He got out of the car and the deputy showed up. While the deputy was reporting to dispatch of an "accident", the gunman spun around and shot him in the head. I believe he shot 9 times? I cant remember exactly.

When the news broke, I checked out the shooters FB page. He mentions several officers sleeping around with his wife and one of our local fire fighters. Now a year and a half later, Deputy Bellar's wife has contacted our local newstation to get them to investigate why there was never an investigation done within the police dept. The whole story will come out tomorrow, but what little it does say, the wife said she has been told by a few officers that fellow officers may have been bullying the shooter. That along with what I read on the shooter's FB page, I am shocked that these officers STILL have jobs! No kidding. An investigation wasnt done. They literally swept it under the rug.

Do you think these officers should be held accountable?

Even if the cops was sleeping with the guys wife it didn't give him a reason to shoot them. It sounds like the guy was just crazy jealous and went off.

For bullying the shooter(if it's proven): yes.
For sleeping with his wife: no.

Hopefully his whore of a wife has trouble sleeping at night from all the trouble she caused.

They should be punished if they were bullying him... NOT if they were just sleeping with his wife.

Who I choose to sleep with is none of my bosses business. They are in completely different departments and so the whole "no inter-office affairs" doesn't apply. No I don't think they should be held responsible because a crazed gunman shot someone 9 times.

I'm a little confused.

The gunman, how was he connected to the police? How were they bullying him? I get that the wife was a 911 operator, right? Who was the husband? An officer?

If they bullied him, then it would depend on the extent and the behavior. For sleeping with her? No. That's no ones business. The man decided to kill that officer, and you can't blame that on the wife or anyone she slept with. That was HIM.

But she was sleeping with officers and a firefighter according to her estranged husband's facebook page. They were separated, so I know technically she is well within her right to be with someone else. HOWEVER....she should have refrained from getting involved with guys within the police dept. There should some sort of code of conduct, a way you should behave within the workplace.

There is... they don't let you sleep with people within the same department. Who you choose to sleep with OUTSIDE of work is no one else's business.

Gunman and 911 operator were estranged husband and wife.
The 911 operator was obviously sleeping around with officers at the PD.

Deputy Bellar's wife has a blog. She wrote "You were such a faithful man and lost your life because of infidelity"

That still doesn't mean the officers should be held accountable for the husband shooting an officer. Only if "bullying" can be proven.

Wait. So they were separated. The gunman had no connection to the police department? How was he being bullied then?

Who she sleeps with is really no ones business. I don't think it would have matter if htey were police, the husband was crazy. It wasn't infidelity, it was a man who decided to kill people because he was mad. They were no even together, so it wasn't infidelity. It was a man who ran his estranged wife off the road and decided to kill an officer adn himself. Those are the actions of an unstable, selfish man.

Who she slept with was her business.

Even if they were together and she was cheating, it STILL doesn't give him the right to do what he did.

Where is personal responsibility? This tragedy was HIS choice. Even if she was sleeping with everyone at the department WHILE they were together, it doesn't make it okay for him to do what he did. If he'd have killed her, he'd have been a crazy abusive ass, but since he killed someone else them himself, she's suddenly to blame?

No. HE is at fault for this.

The entire interviews come out tomorrow. We only caught a preview. Other officers have told the Deputy's wife that fellow officers had bullied the gunman. They were sleeping with the gunman's wife...I assume that is how he was bullied? I dont know. I will know more tomorrow.

Nooooo....no one blamed the wife. They all no he is a lunatic. The reports for now say "Deputy Bellar's wife is questioning if other officer's should take some blame".
