If it weren't for ALL FOUR Deputies (including the wounded K-9) there would have been a dead mother as well as a dead father and son.
What idiots are you that think you can throw stones from your glass houses and think you'll be safe in your stupid little towns from now on?
I hope these two heros get more than what they're asking for. They deserve it!
And Neves can go ass kissing for office somewhere else!

Their suit, filed in El Dorado Superior Court, alleges that Eddie Mies' parents were negligent in not recognizing their son's mental problems and his potential for violence. Karen Mies counters that there was no indication her son would snap that June morning.

AND she's a lieing sack of crap!
SHE's the one that told the Democrat reporter that her son refused to take his schizo meds!

Good luck with that.

"We were directly lied to when they said they didn't know who had done it," Yaws told CBS13 in a phone call, alleging that the family knew that Edward Meis was the shooter.

"We thought it was a random person ground through the neighborhood," the deputy added. "We would've handled it entirely different if we had known it was someone from the residence.

Yaws' lawsuit blames the Meis for allowing Edward access to weapons and ammunition, knowing he had a history of mental problems and drug abuse. He said he's suing because the shooting could have been prevented, not because he was shot.

These poor excuses for officers put themselves in harms way by not following proceedure.They are forcing this widow who to hire an lawyer to defend herself against a suit that they have no chance of winning.Do you hear that Thankful?Do you understand why these kind of frivilous lawsuits are frowned upon by law enforcement?Do I have to explain it to you? Before any of this went down Yaws was known as a dinhonest, whinney crybaby and look at him now.Nothing has changed.The only thing Mrs Mies is guilty of is not teaching her son to aim for the head.

How on Earth were these two elderly parents going to force their son to take his meds?Are you at all aware that he has the right to refuse his meds if he wants to and forcing him to do so would not be legal in his case.Maybe you can tell us how Mrs. Mies should have been able to tell that her son "would snap that June morning".If she had known don't you think she would have done something to save her son and husband?Is she a Psychiatrist?Are you?There was no history of any behavior that would suggest Eddie Mies would do this and yet you suggest that there was and hope that we will buy your lies.Your powers of reasoning are phenominal.Talk about a "lieing sack of crap".

You're an idiot. What's more, you don't know jack.
There was plenty of history, not only of his psycho-anti-social-schizophren ic-illegal-drug induced paranoias.... how about his weapons stockpiles and all the fox holes in his back yard that even the NEIGHBORS knew about?
His mother is a nurse! Think she thought her boy was a Harvard Yale Graduate?
If they had identified their sonny boy as the shooter, the cops could have at least had a pychological negotiator out there.
Get a job.

Obviously you"don't know jack".Let me go over your points with you.Where is your evidence of any previously diagnosed"psycho-anti-soc ial-schizophrenic-illegal-drug induced paraoias"?You have none.I knew Eddie to be a gentle,easy going young man that was always eager to lend a hand.Guess what...I am a neighbor and it is a joke among us that the Deputies are refering to the property as covered with tunnels and "fox holes".Have you been there?I have idiot.Anyone who has knows that the Deputies are misrepresenting this and it will come out in court.It is covered with deer trails and paths through the manzanita.You are just making stuff up.Go and see for yourself."His mother is a nurse",you are correct.She is an OB nurse.She has no specialized training in diagnosing schizophrenia.Do you?It is obvious that you are the "lieing piece of crap".

Yes I have! Do you know the deputies? I DO!
Guess who's neighborhood just lost it's response time?????
And you are no doubt one of the 911 callers who refused to identify the psycho for being the son of the victim.

Go cry me a river in court.

Rosie Palmetto was posting on here earlier this year, bragging about how she rips off newspapers from the Mountain Democrat racks because of some petty beef she has with them.She is a thief and it is no wonder that she would throw in with a couple dirt bags like these.

Ahahahaha! Do you have a crush on me? Is that why you follow every thing I post?
Or are you a cyber-stalking ad hominem TROLL?
Either way, your opinion is like ... well, you know what it's like.

ad hominem vs. ad hominem with you two.I `guess Rosie feels that she is more intelligent in her responses when she falsely accuses a person of "being one of the 911 callers"or not knowing the deputies involved in this shooting when I do.You either have no knowledge of the law or you have been fooled as to the facts of this case or you are so enamored of these deputies that you don't see that they have no case and will support them no matter what.When someone like you has no logical basis for what you believe then I guess all you have left is ad hominem attacks and false accusations.Cry me a river while your boys lose in court missy. I'm still curios about your "response time" comment.Care to elaborate?

Situations like this drive me CRAZY. A dirt bag kills someone, the cops show up and are forced to kill the suspect, and all of a sudden everyone talks about what a wonderful, caring, kind hearted person the dirt bag was. They usually forget to mention how many times that person was in and out of jail/prison. the drugs they did and they love to leave out the small details, dirt bag shot and killed someone, was shooting at the police...............Why is it that when the cops are forced to shot someone, there are always those idiots that come out to only talk about how wonderful that person was. The cops don't care what that persons history is, the only thing they can go off of is what is happening that moment, and if someone is shooting at you, I would assume that most people would do what it took to defend themselves.

You are a very confused individual.Somebody with a gun who shoots his own father and then starts shooting at cops should be taken out.Nobody is challenging that.Maybe you aren't familiar with the case or just couldn't be bothered to read the news story before commenting.

These children they hire for Gestapo have every right to sue and lose. Then these poor elderly parents have every right to counter sue for negligent homicide. Having lived in Shingle Springs for 5 years I have witnessed the brutality the out of control police have inflicted on our community.

LOL.If you don't live here now then you should just STFU.I have never been arrested but I work closely with law enforcement in El Dorado County and can honestly say that most of these deputies are goons.Your argument that anyone with a point of view different from yours must be a criminal is weak at best.I'm glad that you have moved away from El Dorado County.We don't need your kind here.
