IMPD Officer shot

[Kirk Freeman]

The "justice" system isn't working.

How did it fail here?

Don't know, just asking.

Not one more cop needs murdered!

Then we need to stop raising fatherless children who value life according to rap music.

If you want to stop the violence, destroy the Welfare State.

Greg Ballard, get off the phone with your real estate development buddies and smell the coffee, please. The News is already reporting some jackass doctor at Eskenazi carping about solutions to the "gun problem." Uh, hey D.Bag - the PROBLEM is lying in your hospital, ALIVE right now while the officer is dead. I'm fed up with this, we need meaningful action, and I'm not talking about CRICKET FIELDS.

Condolences to the officer's family and coworkers. We are with you on this.

I believe the assumption is being made that the ******* shooter might be a previous catch-and-release. Regardless of whether this is the case or not, I imagine shooting a cop isn't usually the first crime someone commits.

Me, making assumptions, but I am willing to bet that the shooter or shooters, weren't strangers to the system, and that if not for the revolving door of justice, this may not have happened?

Plea bargains? We don't know all the details of this perp but looking at past coward cop killers we can see a trend. Yes I agree that the culture needs changed but that doesn't help is now and also every time people are honest about the problem someone calls the "R" word.
im a regular guy Kirk. I'm not smart enough to fix this but I'm a body and a voice and I won't sit down and let these cowards take our city! Point me in the right direction and I will move and not stop moving forward until I'm dead. Where do we start?

well, there *IS* a gun problem, is there not? Where is the text? Curious as to who it was and what was said.

I would add the assumption that Team Perp could have been improved significantly for our purposes by the addition of rope burns around necks >24 hours ago.

Until that actually happens, and then the cop bashing begins! I for one would relish IMPD taking off the gloves and putting it to the ones they KNOW that are the problem!

i cant help but feel that this "war" would be severely one sided. i think the BG's would have the boys in blue grossly outnumbered. so until vigilantism is accepted and encouraged, those that serve and protect us need to choose their actions accordingly until they have proper amount of backup.

What happened that lead to the shooting?

A gun owner was firing off his AK in the back yard and shot at the police when they arrived to investigate.

Condolences to all of Indy's finest.

In the last 8 months my wife's been robbed at gunpoint, we had a punk throw a cinder block through our window, and I came home to a burglary, with 4 guns stolen and more than $4k in total losses.

I know I'm ready to fight for the city. I just hope the rest of the citizens are too. IMPD can't do it alone.

My condolences to the family.
The loss of just one diminishes us all.

Times infinity. Your post is spot on Kirk...but our society wants to turn and look the other way.

my condolences to the Officer and his family as well as his IMPD family.

 

[Birds Away]

I respectfully offer my condolences to the family of this fine Officer and to the men and women of IMPD. The cost is far too dear to continue on this path our "leaders" have chosen.

We have been in the trenches around here for a while. We know who they are and where they live. They know us as well. They tend to seek out the weak/meek/soft targets.

My heart and prayers go out to the LEO involved, his family and the entire IMPD this day.

I hope they let you take off the gloves.
