OFFICER GUNNED DOWN ATTEMPTING TO SERVE BENCH WARRANT
|| By FITSNEWS || A West Columbia, S.C. police officer was shot in the head on Tuesday afternoon attempting to serve a bench warrant.
The officer – whose identity has yet to be released – was attempting to serve the warrant at the Hudson Street home of 51-year-old William Kernnon at around 2:00 p.m. EDT when he was shot in the head. A suspect, believed to be Kernnon, surrendered to authorities shortly thereafter.
The bullet apparently pierced a wall before striking the officer in the head – an event we’re told was captured on video by a neighbor.
“Crazy dude (boarded) himself in the house then they stormed it and a cop jumped out bleedin’ bad,” one witness wrote on social media.
Agents of the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) were on the scene – standard protocol in the event a law enforcement officer is shot in the line of duty. In fact SLED is handling the investigation into the shooting – although an agency spokesman wasn’t immediately available to comment on the situation.
The officer is reportedly in stable condition at Palmetto Richland Hospital in downtown Columbia, S.C. In fact our law enforcement sources say he was “conscious and breathing” in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
That’s a good sign …
Kernnon is white. The ethnicity of his victim has yet to be established. Why does that matter? Eh … we’re not sure that it does, but we live in post-Ferguson, America. Which means everything is presumed to be racial until it’s demonstrably, um, “not.”
Kernnon is described by West Columbia police as a “regular customer” – meaning they’ve had frequent interactions with him. Police say the warrants being served on Kernnon this week were for failing to appear in court on “minor charges.”
Looks like he’s got some major charges to contend with now …

The guy must have feared for his life. If this is a good enough reason for cop to shoot someone I see no reason why this shooting wasn’t legit.
Reading comprehension fail.
Go back and look at the title of the article. Feel free to peruse the actual body of the article, as well.
Go back down to your mom’s basement and play video games. Watch a little porn too – you know the kind for mentally challenged pp like you.
Mom is becoming a bit bitchy.
On the rag this week?
The guy didn’t fear for his life. He was a regular customer. He knew the PoPo by name. Read the article again S.L.O.W.L.Y.
yeah, he feared for his life in jail, so he did anything to stay out of it you dumb fuck!
Where’s the outcry??
Stupid laws. If they would just legalize “everything.” Then the police officer would have never had to serve a bench warrant.
You know, because everyone is so responsible if we just drop all of the rules and laws.
Exactly….
Yes, is retrospect getting shot over serving misdemeanor warrants seems to be required for “civil society”…..glad I’m not a cop.
If all the officer was doing was protecting Dumb@$$#$ like you…you are correct…You don’t deserve his service…or civility…
I’d like to take every ignorant liberal son-of-a-B!*ch like you…and send you to Iran, w/ Obama…and let you run your mouth over there…That would be HILARIOUS….to see…
I refuse to watch those videos they put out…but I’d be inclined to make an exception…
do you just get crazier and crazier every day?
Yes, yes he does.
Do you just answer content w empty, trite insults more and more because you’re too ignorant to think of a response that fits your irrational hate and liberalism?
Liberalism? I’m wearing a Reagan-Bush shirt, about to hop in my Ford Expedition, to go to a store that’s easily walking distance.
Karl (with a ‘K’ like Marx) …it’s not what you SAY..it’s what you DO….
This site HATES Republicans…what did Reagan say about that?
And PS: wasting gas -because you’re a lazy fat-@$$- is not Republican, just because the F*#king liberals who guide you, tell you that…
You are about as cliche as Hillary Clinton…
One of these days he’s going to really lose it and show up at some poor bastard’s house completely naked and screaming at their door for them to come outside so he can slap the p!$$ out of them.
Prayers , period!
Show of hands…how many of you are felling real guilty…or are you so eaten up, you’re past that?
Castle doctrine. This is what happens when “regular” crazies are allowed to be armed. Thanks, useful idiots.
So you KNOW the shooter had the gun LEGALLY???…If not, STFU…
Maj. Nadal Hassan (who looks like Obama’s brother if he had one) was LEGAL…and he killed more than a dozen…Dumb@$$….Now he sits in a country club prison – instead of a firing squad – because Obama is “cool” w/ him shooting US soldiers while on Jihad…
Too bad they didn’t bring out the shooter feet first.
Some leftwing attorney – the kind you shill for – will likely have him walking the streets before nightfall…
I bet you weigh 400 pounds and smell like Cheetos.
Typical leftist…you try to demonize those of us who will step up and slap the S#!t out of you…when you posit your ignorance and hate…
You and Obama always inventing boogey-men, to feed your paranoia…
Prayers and thoughts go out to the officer. Hang the SOB who shot him, though!
Tripp Holland, he is as white as they get, good officer too.
Wonder how long it would take for society to really recognize and appreciate our men and women serving at home if they all called out sick this weekend? It’s bad enough to serve in a strange land but at least there you don’t know anyone but your brothers and sisters in arms. Here the war to keep us civilized is fought against family, friends and neighbors. Then those who are in charge along with citizens who benefit from their sacrifice critize and refuse to join to make our communities better. Shame on all of us for not reaching out to support them and give them a helping hand.
Where the hell did that come from?
It’s an American who cares for the best of us, calling out the Filth (like you)…you IGNORANT leftwing F*#k…..
You’re always good for a laugh.
Well said…
One fewer vote for Joe Wilson.
Thank God…..The policeman is alive …..you ignorant @$$-hole….the shooter probably did not vote…or if he did it was a Democrat vote…and most of y’all vote from the jail (anyway) and the graveyard and from mental facilities…
It’s a shame they let you vote.
That’s mighty Stalin of you…
I’m no Stalin. Stalin probably would have had you killed. I’d rather the mentally ill just be properly cared for so they do not pose a danger to society, or themselves for that matter.
You people are so one-trick-pony…you know how to HATE anything not as ignorant as you…and that’s it.
You are the modern-day version of the KKK. Your ignorance will eventually consume you. No one like you lasts for very long. You will collapse upon yourself. God made it that way…
I’m afraid you’re the dumbest and most ignorant of all.
I’ve tried to help you out on this before, but you are getting what you ask for. You want to throw hate, you will get it in return. It’s really not that hard to understand. You don’t get taken seriously, not because of what you believe, but because you are pathetic human being in the way you conduct yourself on here. You’re not effective at anything except making a mockery of yourself. You do nothing but engage in juvenile power struggles with other posters.
Yeah, because painting a white, armed shooter in SC as clearly a Democrat is not hateful. His affiliation is not relevant to this conversation, but as always, you find a way to bring it up. You’re an utter fool. You’re actually rather repulsive in that way. But please, carry one.
Do you and Obama advocate support of white policemen, or contempt for them…???
A simple Y or N will be fine…
LMAO….Crickets…
C’mon Rocky: Do you and Obama advocate support of white policemen, or contempt for them…???…and do you share some responsibility for white shot policemen…
Why the ignorance???….
same for you
Nah, a typical Lexington County redneck more likely. An “R” voter.
one more fucking idiot posting on fits though huh?
So you’re new here?
not new, just pointing out what an idiot you are
I’ll keep my retort on your level: I know you are but what am I?
come on now Jack, and Mary, and Tom, you have better comebacks than that. Anyone on here, new or not, knows you are the only person dumber than Tango.
Three strikes and you’re out. I think you’re the only one dumber than Tango.
Everyone here knows you are the one that posts as all those names plus many ,many more. . its all you and Tango do all day long. Hell this blog has become a debate area for basically you and Tango to both say stupid shit, and give Fits its daily hits.
I’m just here for laughs, and you are giving me plenty. Go back to the dugout buddy.
I look forward to your next comic strip quality of intellect in another debate with Tango, and also to see who you act like or claim to be this time.
I’m actually getting bored with you today. I am sure I will see you posting many times on other stories as a lot of different names. Enjoy the rest of your day in your mommies basement
My momma? Oh yeah? Your daddy!
Had he shot, oh say, a black trick-or-treater I suspect your view might be different.
I heard he was hit with bird shot, over 100 stitches, is out of surgery and will make a full recovery.
I thought the GOPer gunfondlers often say they have their arsenals to protect themselves (and America) from the “jackbooted thugs” (i.e., our law enforcement officers).
