Questions, We Have Questions August 1, 2024 at 2:57 pm
Sometimes you just seem to step in dog sh%t, no matter which way you turn. As I have always understood it, a deputy Sheriff can chase a suspect into a residence if in hot pursuit, which is what the first incident sounds like it was. Did Sellers perceive Rankin to be going for a gun or other weapon at the time shots were fired? If a weapon is brought to bear by a suspect, I would hope all bets are off regarding policies against use of deadly force when making an arrest for misdemeanors or non-violent felonies. Regarding the domestic violence, could the extreme pressure Sellers was under have caused a form of temporary insanity and acts he might normally not have committed?
This young man is going through a lot right now. The criminal he shot is in no way a victim. However, taking someone’s life has an effect on a man. He needs prayer and help, not condemnation. I’ve been in his shoes and understand what he’s going through. Young man if you’re reading this, pray for Jesus to help you through this trial in your life. He will meet you where you are.

Oh, is Rankin any kin to questionable SC Senator Luke Rankin? Could this impact how Sellers is treated in this investigation?
Sad, this state and it’s LE Agencies are a hot mess.
