LOL. Yes, their employment. I edited my previous comment to make that clear now. With such a strange story, I suppose anything could happen.

I hope you meant their employment has been terminated and not they, themselves. That would really put a nasty twist to this story, wouldn’t it?

duke ster—Ha ha ha ha This sums up Ticos–You don’t need to say anything negative or bad about them–just allow a Tico to be a Tico and it will all come out for all the world to see what these people are all about, their culture is on display here–ha ha ha ha

Even if we tried our hardest, we seriously could not make this stuff up.

Luckily, it seems the police officers (who specifically lied about the events) have all been permanently terminated.

So some stupid cops shot his partner accidentally While guarding the President Solis. Then they made up a cock and bull story. Amazing!
1. Police that bold face lie.. can they be fired?
2. Pres. Solis being protected by a bunch of liars and no ethic.
3. Make a cover story.. No es mi culpa.

I bet these cops get a “‘ free pass”" and just reassigned to your neighborhood. Great just what we need.

I don’t know if this was indeed a matter of cops accidentally discharging a weapon and trying to cover up incompetence, or one of the other theories posited. I doubt the black ops theory although I don’t doubt that such events occur. If there was an attack, I think it more probable that parties fearful that the new administration will prosecute them for corruption are behind this than are external forces. I don’t make too much of the report of two men on motorcycle doing this, as this has been a common method of armed robbers here for years.
