Family of cop killer says officer should have just stayed in his car - Polidicks

[quote] The family of a man who used a semi-automatic rifle to kill an Indianapolis police officer Saturday night says it isn’t fair that the alleged shooter – Major Davis, Jr. – should “keep being dragged through the mud.” They also blamed the officer for not staying in his police car. As reported by [URL="http://wishtv.com/2014/07/06/murder-suspects-family-speaks-out-about-shooting/"]WISH-TV[/URL], Davis was seen brandishing a semi-automatic rifle Saturday night in Indianapolis, which led to a 911 call that dispatched police to look for him: [/quote] source: [url]http://www.ijreview.com/2014/07/154582-family-cop-killer-officer-stayed-car-wouldnt-shot/[/url]

People need to have more sense, I don't care if they are family they should fucking think about it just a small amount of brain power.

[quote]“He wasn’t a bad person. His father was killed by IMPD. That is enough to hurt a person and scar him for life,” said Davis’ grandmother, Pam Moornan.[/quote] Well, I guess that [i]could[/i] be an explanation of sorts. [quote]Davis’ father, Major Davis, Sr. had been arrested 15 times and did three years in prison on a drug charge. He died of a heart attack in 2003 while in handcuffs after fighting with police as he attempted to avoid a public intoxication charge. [/quote] Never-fucking-mind.

Our state kills. Hope he has fun down in Terre Haute.

Who says something like that, seriously. No sense.

[QUOTE=asteroidrules;45343060]There is a point where family doesn't matter any more, I'd say murder counts as one.[/QUOTE] i disagree, and not only that you'd be surprised at how thick families will stick through shit together, especially families from shitty social backgrounds where family is one of the few things they have

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;45343373]i disagree, and not only that you'd be surprised at how thick families will stick through shit together, especially families from shitty social backgrounds where family is one of the few things they have[/QUOTE] People stick together for dumb reasons. This man was brandishing a rifle in public. He then proceeded to shot and kill a police officer who was simply doing his job and investigating a reported disturbance. There was only a few ways this could have gone down different, and none of them involve everyone involved surviving, in most other cases, the cop would be held to a stake by people for killing a man, yet in this case the murderer somehow should be given sympathy because his drunken felon father resisted arrest and died in the process (of a heart attack no less, nothing due to the actions of the police)? The law doesn't work on sentiment, no one gets a free pass at breaking the law because they had a bad experience with something relevant to the law they broke.

My sentimental attachment to them as family has boundaries. I would present evidence to convict my own brother of being a murderer if it were true, family ties end when the crime is harmful to the lives of others.

[quote]"That man has a family too, and they'll never see him again," Pam Moorman said. "He was just doing his job. He didn't come here looking for trouble. He got a call, and he did his job. I have to respect that."[/quote] [quote]Yvonne Moorman echoed the sentiments of her sister. "He took a chance with Major," Yvonne Moorman said. "He gave him the benefit of the doubt, and he lost his life. They asked Major to put the gun down. That to me was giving him the benefit of the doubt."[/quote] [url]http://www.indystar.com/story/news/crime/2014/07/08/officer-perry-renn-just-job-murder-suspects-relative-says/12371169/[/url]

Well maybe he shouldn't have been such a massive dipshit.

He was marching around with a rifle in his hands, idiots. It is entirely his fault, and he will probably be executed for it.

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;45344285]He was marching around with a rifle in his hands, idiots. It is entirely his fault, and he will probably be executed for it.[/QUOTE] Fine by me

This is why we can't have open carry.

[QUOTE=Masterofstars;45344452]This is why we can't have open carry.[/QUOTE] im all for the removal of open carry but "this man would not have killed a cop if it was illegal to carry his weapon too!" is this what you're saying right now?

[QUOTE=Masterofstars;45344452]This is why we can't have open carry.[/QUOTE] Open carrying is fine and has a purpose, it's just the idiots that end up misusing it is what ends up being the problem.

That's the grandma talking and what do you expect her to say? "The son I raised was criminal scum and my grandson turned out the same"? She begat a line of lowlifes, if only her eggs had just stayed in her ovaries this cop would still be alive.

That family is so detached from reality. The world is not at fault. Your son is at fault. The LEO was just doing his job and probably wanted to go home that night. But he never got to go home. Cause that family had a jack ass son. You know what happens when a person goes looking for blood? They find it. That's what your son is.

[QUOTE=Bazsil;45344843]im all for the removal of open carry but "this man would not have killed a cop if it was illegal to carry his weapon too!" is this what you're saying right now?[/QUOTE] Because if we didn't have open carry the guy toting around his gun wouldn't be approached by an officer, he'd be just taken as a criminal and Police wouldn't die trying to ask him what's going on.
