It runs in the family

**danimal's dead** · 05-12-2007, 03:32 PM

FRANCONIA, N.H. (AP) - A cousin of skiing star Bode Miller fatally shot and ran over a police officer, then was killed by a passer-by who grabbed the officer's gun.

Liko Kenney shot Cpl. Bruce McKay four times and ran over him after a traffic stop Friday evening, state Attorney General Kelly Ayotte said. Gregory Floyd, who was driving by with his son, grabbed McKay's gun and shot Kenney when he refused to put his gun down, Ayotte said.

The 24-year-old Kenney was convicted of assaulting McKay and resisting arrest in 2003. Ayotte had no other details of that previous incident between the men, and rejected suggestions the officer should have let someone else handle the traffic stop given his history with the driver.

Officials said McKay pulled Kenney over for speeding on Route 116. Kenney took off, and McKay pursued him for about 1 1/2 miles before pulling in front of Kenney's car and pushing it off the road.

The officer used pepper spray on Kenney and his passenger and then turned around and was shot, Ayotte said Saturday at a news conference in Concord. Soon after, Floyd arrived and confronted Kenney while his son called for help using the officer's radio. Authorities said Floyd was justified in shooting Kenney.

The 48-year-old McKay was a 12-year veteran of the Franconia Police Department.

"It really tears at the fabric of the community and the fabric of the state," said Gov. John Lynch, who visited the town of about 900 residents Saturday as people paid their respects and brought flowers to a police station.

Bode Miller's father, Woody Miller, said there was a history of animosity between the officer and his nephew.

"They had a long relationship," said Miller, who operates an international tennis camp in nearby Easton. "There's been physical altercations between them before in the course of being arrested."

Miller said Kenney, who lived next door to him, didn't have a steady job, but often took work cutting firewood and picking fiddlehead ferns, a wild green that grows in the region and is considered a delicacy.

Bode Miller, who once bailed his cousin out of jail, was on his way home to Franconia, his father said. Miller was in Park City, Utah, this week, meeting with officials of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. At that meeting, the former Olympic medalist told officials he was cutting his ties with the U.S. team.

The shooting happened near this town in the White Mountain National Forest, popular with skiers and tourists who visited the Old Man of the Mountain, a rock formation and the state's symbol that crumbled into pieces four years ago.

It has come full circle, all the gun control threads and cop hater threads have now been linked to skiing. 6 degrees of separation?

**AsheanMT** · 05-12-2007, 04:09 PM

See! We should take all the guns away from the bad guys and allow only cops to have them. Errrr. wait. NVRMND

**Trigger** · 05-12-2007, 04:24 PM

Anybody read the whole article? Like the part at the end were is says that Bode was coming back from a meeting with the US Team where he told them he quit.

**BushwackerinPA** · 05-12-2007, 04:38 PM

Bode didnt quit. He doesnt want to follow the teams rules and will still compete its in his nature.

**nick > jesus** · 05-12-2007, 04:54 PM

Kristina koznick did the same thing a few years back (the quitting thing, not the shooting/running over thing)

**Trackhead** · 05-12-2007, 05:37 PM

Now all the cop haters can SUCK A FAT DICK! Gee, where are you now? Fucking COCKROACH killed a cop. Are you happy?

**Cliff Huckable** · 05-12-2007, 05:49 PM

1) What "IT" runs in the family?

2) "Authorities said Floyd was justified in shooting Kenney" - that is just fucked up. WHat is this the Wild fucking West? So, if I happened by andf saw this Floyd guy shoot Bode's cousin is it OK for me to shoot Floyd?

gun and shot Kenney when he refused to put his gun down, Ayotte said.

It was coming one way or another. I see no defense for the guy that killed the cop. Why even bother waisting an argument about the piece of trash. I don't understand why people are so quick to defend people who gun down the police? He KILLED the cop, then ran him over. He's trash. I don't care who his kin is. That has nothing to do with the situation.

**robokill1981** · 05-12-2007, 06:00 PM

I think they mean justified because Floyd tried to get Kenney to put his gun down and Kenney didn't disarm. Not sure of the details of course, but I doubt it means you can justifiably blast someone just for shooting a cop (as much as some people on here would like that to be the case).

As for for the "It" in the thread title. What the hell are you talking about danimal? Probably the worst thread title I've seen on here in a long time.

Not as bad as the one about the President a few days ago.

**robokill1981** · 05-12-2007, 06:05 PM

+1 for 72Twenty

**Skipig25** · 05-12-2007, 06:24 PM

I don't know why they care that it's bode's cousin. that doesn't have anything to do with it

**Dside11-11** · 05-12-2007, 06:26 PM

Yeah, danimal. What the fuck is up with your title? The Bode haters piss me off to no end. This is some next level bullshit right here. Are you calling Bode a cop killer now? Because he didn't win gold in every event in the Olympics; because he doesn't want to be held down by the confines of a fucking ghey team? What the fuck are you trying to say?

After reading this^^^I think I'm starting to agree with the anti gun crowd. Some people really don't have any business owning a firearm.

Are you referring to the bystander that gunned down the cop killer? If so, HE USED THE DEAD COPS GUN.

Gregory Floyd, who was driving by with his son, grabbed McKay's gun

Hehehe, no.

I was referring to the simple minded kindergarten level reasoning demonstrated by Cliff Huckable. If that's the extent of his reasoning ability, he has no business anywhere near a firearm. I might also question the wisdom of him procreating.

Next time I'll remember to throw in a

or two.

Or I'll take a deep breath, post, then smoke crack.

**iceman** · 05-12-2007, 09:11 PM

These guys knew each other and had fought in the past. The guy was hammered and he ran. The cop chased him EVEN THOUGH HE KNEW WHO HE WAS AND WHERE HE LIVED. and pushed him off the road. The cop lost the ensuing gunfight, which had obviously been coming for years.

I see tragedy and I see mistakes and I see a fucked-up criminal AND a fucked-up cop.

Damn shame.

Yeah, but if the cop had let him run, with the intent of showing up at his house later, and the guy had run over somebody on the way home; wouldn't we be ready to crucify the cop?

Seems like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't " situation for the cop.

I see a dead cop.

Why would a cop not chase a guy because he knew where he lived. That's bullshit. The kid fired shots at him, and killed him. Where's the good in that.

This is tragic. For the cops family.

The tone in these anti-cop threads is nauseating. Purely fucking nauseating.

The cop was shot and KILLED. Now you're defending the piece of shit who shot him? Where's the logic?

**subtle plague** · 05-13-2007, 04:59 AM

i would shoot all those fucking cops, but sadly i can't get a semi automatic gun.

see th, maybe it was a fight between two humans and not between some

trash

and some uberhuman, the cop. but you'd be too blind to even see that since you wouldn't

even bother waisting an argument about the piece of trash.

the only thing nauseating about this thread is you referring to humans as trash in all seriousness. your "no questions asked since they are trash argument" is in fact very self supportive and deceivingly simple. i better not tell you what this sort of logic remembers me off. but the underlying hate especially in your job is sick.

**willywhit** · 05-13-2007, 08:23 AM

sounds like a KING SHIT COP and a local punk.
Rambo: There wouldn't be no trouble except for that king shit cop!
This cop and it in for this kid.
Condolences to both families- so stupid all around

Then you are guilty of fuzzy perception and incorrect valuations.

To judge a person based on their race or sex can lead to horrible atrocities, as you allude to. But to refuse to judge a person based on their actions leads to the same place.

It is not only proper, but necessary, to judge a person based on their actions and the choices they make.

Maybe if people had been a little quicker to judge others based on their actions, the word "Holocaust" wouldn't carry the horror that it does today.

To make no judgment is just as bad as making a judgment for the wrong reasons.
