Officer shoots Sergeant for unwanted advances

Is that the real story?

Gay panic

The Sergeant who was shot.

R3, smelling cookies for sure

Dear Lord in Heaven! All this senseless violence over scoring some sizemeat.

I shot the sheriff!

But did you shoot the sergeant?

The sergeant probably made advances while the guy was tweezing his eyebrows.

Honestly they both have gayface

They would have made a cute couple...

Officer Rusk was just standing his ground.

Click on OP's link and your questions will be answered, you lazy whores.

They were out drinking together. There is video footage that is shown. Click on the damn link.

Nothing in that video indicates the guy was going to rape him

^ Whoopi

r16 didn't watch the video

You should have added more of the details in your post OP. No one wants to watch some stupid youtube video

FAIL

Not cute

"Unwanted Advances 6: Shoot ... Your Load."

He looks like The Joker in his infancy, before shit really went off the rails and he started painting his face.

It is kind of a hot set-up for a porn scene, just not the rapey part.

R7 …but I didn’t shoot in the deputy 💦

[quote] [R16] didn't watch the video

I'm not R16 but I watched the video and while there was some unwelcome touching, there was no threat of rape whatsoever. They were in public the entire time. He was embellishing so he could have that on the record on the 911 call to try to save his ass.

I'm not saying he was not being harassed, but there was no need to shoot the other person. He was in no physical danger.

They were both drunk. Who knows what was being said, since the video doesn't have sound.

[Quote]There was a year's worth of grooming that had taken place.

That's what the perpetrator's father said in his son's defense, at 2:18 in OP's video, explaining that his son was the victim of several unwanted sexual advances from the sergeant, comprising of stalking, inappropriate touching, and grooming, which occurred several times previous to this incident.

After the shooting, the perpetrator called 911, sobbingly explaining what happened, mentioning "I told him to stop, he kept going, I thought he was going to rape me."

The officer, according to the reporter, had already reported the prior incidents about the sergeant to others on the force.

The officer shouldn't have shot him, but I do believe that he was being sexually harassed by his superior.

[quote]Concerned sizemeat seeking team mom

R6 that sounds like the title of an HBO black comedy docudrama starring Holly Hunter.

That's haaawwwt!

The sergeant was sexually harassing the younger officer. That is a separate matter.

From the video, it is clear the younger officer deflected and rejected the sergeant's advances.

It does not mean that the younger man was justified in shooting him. The lawyers and father of the younger officer are using a version of "gay panic" in their defense of his actions.

Verificatia?

That's one ROUGH mug shot!

But was it "rape" rape?

That hillbilly fuck dad was taught the word "grooming" by one of the attorneys. It's clear by his appearance he's never heard it before.

This is not the same as taking a risky hike an a bad weather winter day on Mt Baldy.

I don't buy the gay panic defense.

He murdered the sergeant for some reason and is now trying to cover up and save himself. I'm more inclined to believe it's morning-after shame, if anything.

Holy FUCK that's a rough 24. That guy should shave his head in prison. His remaining hair is doing nothing for him. Don't get me started on that meth complexion. Why are so many cops hideous?

[quote]He murdered the sergeant...

No he didn't. The sergeant survived three gunshots. But I do think there's more to this story. The officer's dad says inappropriate behavior, unwanted sexual advances, etc., were going on for some time and that his son complained about it to superiors, yet he goes out for "a night of drinking" with his alleged harasser. Did he meet him that night already locked and loaded and ready to take care of business? If so, then there was premeditation. And his 911 call was OTT. I would think a cop would remain calm, but this officer was a bit too dramatic.

[quote]He murdered the sergeant

You're not very bright, are you?

Can they have these folks as the first guests on the reboot of the Jenny Jones Show?

[quote]That hillbilly fuck dad was taught the word "grooming" by one of the attorneys.

No, fuck them. Hillbilly fuck dad undoubtedly knew the word already from just simply being MAGA. It's been around since before pizzagate. Nobody had to be taught anything and they immediately dog whistled this defense to correlate that gays "groom" their "victims"

Nah, not that complicated, r40.

I bet the boss was all over the younger guy.

It happens all the time with men in positions of power over women. And it likely happened here.

Well I see he knows that if you give men an inch, they’ll want a mile. That said, a knee to the groin would have sufficed.

[quote]you give men an inch, they’ll want a mile.

Well, maybe not a mile, but I'd like a couple more inches.

The young cop (who shot the sergeant) has gay voice to my ears. I feel like there's a lot more to this story, but I could be wrong.

I wonder if the sergeant was openly gay, glass closeted, in the closet, or is straight.

If he was openly gay or glass closeted, this guy could've planned that as a defense for a while.

Grooming him? Like brushing his teeth and washing his hair?

With all the willing bottoms on sex sites like Grindr, Scruff, Doublelist, etc.- why would Sarge have to pressure that ugly, cookie-faced sis?

Obviously there's some complex and tormented psychological history between these two, but Rusk's unhinged, hysterical screaming was over the top for a strong young cop. Little of this makes any sense. I'm looking forward to the Netflix series.

Did the sergeant have a wide stance?

Surprise anal is no joke.

"comprising of stalking, inappropriate touching, and grooming"

Oh, dear!

What a pitiable situation for both.

Oh, I don't think it's pitiable, but it is sad.

Neither were lookers, but the killer had those tell-tale pugilistic features that are an immediate warning sign to stay away from someone prone to violence. The dead sergeant should've known he wasn't attractive enough to pull off the advanced art of hooking up with first-timers.

No means no. If you get rejected don't press the issue. Move on otherwise problems arise for both parties. We have to disabuse ourselves of this false narrative that straight guys can be turned. Real straight guys find gay sex repulsive. Absolutely flaccid below and recoiling at attempts to kiss them. Don't humiliate yourself or worse put yourself in danger as this guy learned the hard way.

Sex is on a spectrum. If the guy can be convinced to hook up with you then he's already open-minded, but either way you'll know. Most men aren't exactly subtle. They'll put out signs to let you know if they're looking to fuck some ass or get their cock sucked. I can't imagine pursuing someone who has already said no. There are so many other willing people out there.

R54, the sheriff ain't dead.

Oh, I hope this trial is televised!

And that no one takes a settlement and this case is dragged through the courts for an eternity.

Well then we'll see if he learned his lesson and sticks to the apps.

It is surreal watching the guy's rural duck hunter father use the word "groomed" when discussing his grown son.

R47, you ask why would the sheriff-supervisor be attracted to a 24-year-old rookie like Michael Rusk?

The sheriff WAS grooming the lower-ranked officer.

In the police chain of command, this happens FREQUENTLY!

The power dynamic creates a form of workplace sexual-servitude.

And when that sex-slave dynamic is preserved behind a badge, a gun and the force of law — that combination actually ends up eroticizing the abuser.

It's almost a No Way Out situation for the lower-ranked officer.

Sad but true.

Ya dun got groomed!

The video was an hour before the shooting, so we don’t know what happened.

A man is entitled to protect his anal virtue.

This story has inspired me to write and direct my next feature!

This is very weird, and gay men in red areas need to pay attention. The father’s barely concealed homophobia, the sexual predator/groomer narrative, the white male as victim histrionics. The son is obviously drunk off his ass during the 911 call.

Sarge and Rusk had to be involved. As others have mentioned, why would he go out drinking with his abuser?

Sarge was getting off on the power dynamic; Rusk was super closeted and conflicted. Over the past year Sarge had been tempting him and teasing him, and Rusk would whine and moan and refuse his advances until he finally gave in. Then he'd pretend it never happened and the cycle would begin again. That night Sarge thought they were just playing their usual head game, not realizing Rusk was pushed to his breaking point.

At least Rusk was clever enough to make those harassment allegations, probably to make him look like an unwilling participant in case the two ever got caught. But now they might keep him out of jail.

This really recalls the spirit of the Jenny Jones Scott Amedure/gay panic murder.

[quote]Sarge and Rusk had to be involved. As others have mentioned, why would he go out drinking with his abuser?

While I agree with your assessment, it could also be argued he felt compelled to go out with his superior officer so no adverse actions would be taken at his job.

No straight man in Virginia goes fishing in a pink tank top. Watch the video and you can tell when he touches him that it was not the first time. The young one was scared of anyone seeing and being outed. Maybe the Sarge threatened to tell about their gay affair. Not buying the rape thing for one second.

There's a lot of complexity to this soup -- or maybe it's just a hodgepodge of the usual ingredients: confused young cop, insecurities, shitloads of alcohol, the de-rigueur homophobic upbringing, a hillbilly redneck, moonshine-soused dad who probably called him a sissy and a faggot when he didn't like the timbre of his kid's high-pitched voice. Maybe Sarge functioned as a more sensitive (more tangents spring from that) father figure who understood his "complexities" more than poppa did. They may or may not have had prior fumblings. Sounds like a toxic convergence of mixed emotions, lubricated by gallons of booze. I don't think it's as simple, as some have suggested, as a straight dude who flew off the handle at an advance. The sheer hysteria he exhibited counters that. The prototypical straight dude who shoots in "self defense" would be a lot more defiant and self-assured in his hilllbilly-god-given rights to exterminate his rapist. This guy is confused and psychologically damaged. He may well have been the target of ongoing harassment from his superior, but that seems a little too simplistic here.

The video is very telling. The sargeant tries multiple times to put his hands on the officer and the officer refuses.

The sargeant refuses to address the accusations of sexual harassment and the police department refuses to address the officer's claims of reported harassment.

It's very easy to deduce what went on and the complicated, convoluted stories here are an attempt at deflection of an obvious gay man's attempt to fuck a subordinate officer who wanted nothing to do with him in that way. Regardless of the officer's assumed sexual orientation.

Gay men can be abusers and perverts. Just like straights.

We're all just writing our own screenplays here.

That 911 call? She sounds like a big old crazed Mary!

You took the words right out of my mouth, R70. Honest-to-God, in my moments of panic and terror (think when I broke my back in a motorcycle accident in 2016), I'm sure I sounded much more butch than that guy ever has. I'd bet a lot of money he's a closet case.

Plus, this is the kind of cop who shoots a black man in the back because he's "skeered."

"A man is entitled to protect his anal virtue."

It's a precious gift I wanted to present to my spouse on our wedding night.

Cop at OP is sniffing candied gunpowder for sure.

The 911 call and "groomer" rhetoric really send this one over the top. I'd love to know more about the politics of father and son. Surely they must hold very progressive opinions about women and girls, in particular, if they feel this strongly about sexual harassment.

Of course the young cop's call was hysterical and over the top. First of all he was drunk. Secondly, he had just shot his boss, a fellow police officer. Trained cop or no, these people ARE human.

“I’m no fool. I’ve killed the boss. You think they’re not going to fire me for a thing like that?”

It's too bad he doesn't have a very wealthy and powerful mother-in-law to help him out of that mess.

The officer has yellow skin...

Why were there rookie and sergeant dressed exactly alike....?

Also, what MAGA-seeming drinking joint.

If he did file complaints and was being harassed, it will come out very soon but something is off here imo

How millennial of him to have his Dad talking to reporters

I agree that "groomed" is being used as a total dog whistle here. Maybe I'm just biased against the dad because he looks like someone who would hate crime me but they both seem like mean, hateful hillbilly pieces of shit. I hope the shooter goes to prison for a long time.

Did Risk stand up to interrogation?

Or did he break down to crumbs?

R82 is precisely why I have no faith in the justice system. A jury of "peers" are prejudiced morons.

There is video evidence of the shooting victim trying to put his hands on the shooter and being shoved away. There could be video and audio and written confession of a crime taking place and some yahoo would deny it.

Chris Meloni should play the Sergeant in the Netflix movie.

I'm voting Vincent Lindon as the Sergeant.

Dacre Montgomery as Officer Rusk

R84 are you saying that unwanted touch is the exact same thing as a rape attempt? I don't have faith in juries either because so many people think violence is justified for a stupid reason. I guess I'll just bring a gun to a bar and shoot the next person who hits on me. According to you that would be totally acceptable.

R88 putting your hands on someone in a sexual manner is sexaul assault, if they told you to get your hands off them. We have video proof of it. So what that tells us is the "victim" doesn't take no for an answer. Much like a rapist. The "victim" also refuses to address the abuse allegations against him, as does the PD. Very telling.

Then we have a clearly anguished officer immediately admitting to shooting his superior officer after what he claims is an instance of behavior that exactly follows what we saw on tape.

Until evidence comes forth that points to a consensual affair, I and every other sane person can see how obvious this is.

It's sickening that hideously lying individuals like yourself exist in society. You know as well as I do that men do not commit acts of rape in public, except in rare circumstances. What the video shows is an individual who will not stop sexually harassing an individual who has made it very clear they are not interested. It follows the pattern of sexual abuse that precedes rape.

The redneck father will be the next featured speaker at CPAC and the RNC, talking about how his poor, defenseless grown ass son was "groomed". Then he'll go on to run for a seat in Congress. MTG will be his biggest ally.

Hyperbole much, MARY?

He shoots, he doesn’t score!

Fuck off cunt R92. I'm tired of gay men on DL denying every fucking sexual assault and rape case because they want to get away with being perverted psychos themselves.

They both look gay.

If the younger guy was being sexually harrassed, why is he going out for drinks with the other guy?

[quote] Fuck off cunt [R92]. I'm tired of gay men on DL denying every fucking sexual assault and rape case because they want to get away with being perverted psychos themselves.

Were you there? Did you listen to the 911 tape? Did you look at the footage? Did you see a rape?

Because what the rest of us saw and heard were some unwelcome advances, and a drunk calling 911 scrambling hard to come up with an excuse for shooting someone.

The only solution is to film the event Rashomon style.

That one had a rape as well.

OR DID IT???

Dont read too much in the way he acts when the sarge touches him.A belligerent drunk would react like that if his mother was touching him. Sarge could have done better. It takes real effort and skill to pull a straight guy for the first time,I sure wouldnt have wasted it on that ugly piece.

Seems to me that when the young officer first felt harassed at the bar, he should have just left immediately, no further words or interaction, get up and leave. He had a way out of the situation, just leave, no further interaction at that time. Instead he lingered, which looks to me to be a game of cat and mouse between the officer and sarge, and continued outside. Grown men have the power and free will to Walk Away and be done with it. There was no attempted rape here, it's ludicrous. :-/

Or he could have called his hillbilly daddy to come and pick him up, and rescue him from the big bad sarge on their man date gone wrong. Laughable.

How much training cops get before they’re given a gun? 6 months? A year? I just googled it. I’m correct! 6 months to 2 years. What could possibly go wrong?

Will they both do time: one for attempted rape and the other for attempted murder?

Sergeant seems to be a piece of shit, but Daddy is worse. Daddy should have received the bullet.

This is a case of prevent hole.

Brickhouse Tavern? Has the Shit Brickhouse Troll weighed in?

R89 I'm not defending the victims behavior, I'm saying shooting him wasn't justified. Something that drastic is only acceptable when there's a chance you could be murdered, raped or maimed. Would you shoot someone if they touched your ass after you told them to fuck off? If the answer is yes then you're a lunatic and there's nothing left to talk about.

And you'll excuse me if I don't care how anguished someone sounds on a 911 call, whether they're an officer or not. Amy Cooper sounded very anguished on her 911 call and she was still the aggressor. People on this site pick the weirdest hills to die on.

So far, Rusk's attorney has hit the ball outta the park.

Shooting was in Jan.

First WAVY story — from two months ago — has only 1K views.

This week's WAVY story has almost 2million views.

Something not right here. He was harassing you for a year and you go out to drinks with him?

I understand that the sergeant had power over him but you have to make your complaint in an appropriate channel (or quit). Not shoot someone.

When Rusk points his finger at the sergeant, that’s his "No means no."

Hope this case gets completely flipped and the bullet-riddled sergeant is fired for sexual harassment and ignites a deep-dive investigation into police HR practices.

[QUOTE] Nothing in that video indicates the guy was going to rape him.

What we are seeing here i the logical extreme of MeToo movement when it is left unchecked. "He put his hand on my butt. That makes ME a sexual assault SURVIVOR."

R111. What's your definition of attempted "rape?"

According to the police definition — nonconsensual —it appears this exchange perfectly fits the definition.

Forcible Rape — the carnal knowledge of a person, forcibly and/or against any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another that person's will; or, not forcibly or against the person's will where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of his/her temporary or permanent mental or physical incapacity. Forcible Sodomy — oral or anal sexual intercourse with another person, forcibly and/or against that person's will; or, not forcibly or against the persons' will where the victim is incapable of giving consent.

The first press release doesn't identify the sergeant AT. ALL! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm .....

Shooting Incident on 700 Block of Scotland Street

On Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2023, at approximately 12:47 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 700 block of Scotland Street for a shooting with injuries.

The first officer, who was nearby and heard the gunshots, arrived to the scene within seconds and found a 38-year-old male who had been shot. The shooter was immediately identified and detained. Williamsburg Fire Department responded and transported the victim to Riverside Regional Medical Center with critical injuries; he is expected to recover.

There is no ongoing threat to the community.

The offender has been identified as Michael Trenton Rusk, a 24-year-old male resident of James City County. Mr. Rusk was transported to the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail (VPRJ) and charged with malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within City limits.

The initial investigation indicates the two men are known to each other.

Mr. Rusk is employed as a police officer with the James City County Police Department but was off-duty at the time of this incident.

The investigation is ongoing.

Just found the defense’s argument:

"He was too drunk and wanted to drive home and the victim tried taking his keys and got shot because of it"

A rejected drunk is dangerous. Maybe this guy wanted some action and Sarge wasn't interested. Embarrassed and angry, Cookie face shot him.

Your argument lost me R112. There was no penetration or forcible anything here. Are you sure you're okay honey?

I disagree with most of you in that I find Rusk sufficiently cute to be innocent by DL logic.

R116, That’s the ATTEMPTED rape definition: Force "against any body part"...

Penetration ain't "attempted."

Penetration is RAPE.

I'll pass on whatever R118 is on -- seems like the party favors caused permanent damage.

Doesn't the Police Academy have a course on the difference between good touching and bad touching?

I forgot his name but does anyone remember the Sheriff who go busted for giving guys drugs in exchange for sex?

Different footage with Rusk's dad. "My son wasn't acting in malice."

I love my alive gay son!

Here's the entire 911 call.

The call-taker sounds a little ... "distracted."

Wonder if any reports of their argument had already come in. Or their public displays of anger.

The 911 call-taker is acting like he's not looking already at a screen that says exactly who the caller is and already pinged the exact location from where caller is calling....

"I'm not bottoming again tonight" is not the same as "Please, kind sir, I rebuke you for your untoward advances!"

Updates on this case?!!

[quote]That 911 call? She sounds like a big old crazed Mary!

And drunk as a skunk.

What happened with this?

He has The Joker's face.

Ridiculous power play by an idiot cultist

STOP HITTING ON STRAIGHT GUYS, LOSERS.

That man aiunt straight R131

[quote] This really recalls the spirit of the Jenny Jones Scott Amedure/gay panic murder.

Except they fucked after the show and then he killed him.

Is there a photo of the show cop? Seems to have been removed.

I agree that gay or straight- in a power dynamic like this case- the totality of the touching, calling, texting, drinking, and et al -could amount to sexual harassment. But three things still confuse me. If after a year you knew what happening-even at 24-you should have told someone or reported it. Second, although I understand the power this man must had over this young man-he still went out drinking with him. He still didn’t move when he changed seats. He may have pushed him away but it wasn’t a violent get the fuck away from me push. More like a lover pushing a drunker lover away for being too aggressive in public. And finally the 911 sounds more like Lana Turner than an officer on a police force. He is confused-he just shot his lover/authority figure. And he is confesses that his whole evening has been one of force. I disagree with his lawyer using the idea that if he were a woman this would be a different story. If he were a woman there would have been physical issues more at play. But a young buck, and his “ dad” -both cops- would surly know how to defend themselves. I agree that this was not their first dance. They have jumped the rope some- too familiar ( the touching and all). And one more thing: the finger he puts up: gay-gay-gay! But that is still no excuse for harassment of any sort.
