1 dead...police chase...Indy’s northwest side ends...officer-involved shooting

[Hoosierkav]

Watching the video, he seems to shift between euphoria and concern, like he knows what's going to happen at the end of the chase.

I have a friend (who is black, which, I think is relevant) and she was sad, not understanding why they tazed him and then emptied their magazine(s), didn't try CPR, etc. I challenged her to re-watch the video, looking for clues that there was more to the situation than just some kid killed for running from the cops (what was his mental state, etc.). And, to watch it as if she were an officer, and to understand how officers are trained for these situations (and, better, ask an officer, so she can learn).

Narratives are being written on both sides.

I don't know which song would be better....

I Fought the Law, and the Law Won

or

Friend of the Devil

Maybe I'll play them both whilst reading further.

I don't do rap. Too hard to find anything that rhymes with mother****er.

Both are good choices. I prefer the latter myself.

WTHR doing the story now.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Now saying that the other shooting (north side) was possibly an ambush situation (dead guy was wanting to ambush the police). **** 'em. **** 'em hard.

Two officers ran over and killed a pedestrian in the last week or so. Accidents happen. So do distractions.

In an unrelated story, Frank can’t find anyone to take on a ride-along.

Am I correct that "4 years home detention for an armed robbery conviction" means total freedom with no monitoring or restrictions whatsoever?

 

[2ADMNLOVER]

If you tell a group of people that they have no chance, they have a target on their back and that there is no "escape", they start to believe it and view every incident through that distorted narrative.

Ok a "brainwashing " of sorts I can understand that.

What I can't figure out is why after so many have died doing the same thing nobody gets the concept of don't shoot at police and you'll live longer .

Years ago when I was a kid I worked on a cattle farm. After a few times I learned which fences NOT to grab.

It does in Marion County.

I can barely turn on the wifi on my phone for the insurance app without taking my eyes off the road. A long time ago there used to be two officers to a car, and no computer or cell phones.

What is the narrative on the side of law and order?

The pedestrians shouldn't have been in the travel lane, at night, wearing dark clothing.

Can't what? Find? Stand?

I guess that if you flee and shoot at police officers they are justified in shooting back.

No.
Way.

I was wondering that too!

Public schools no longer encourage independent thought, colleges have all but banned it on campus. They believe what they're told because it's easy (no thinking required) and in their minds the agenda removes responsibility from the criminals so their own behavior must be acceptable. I don't know of many situations which improve without the willing participation of those involved. When you don't teach a child the difference between right and wrong they grow up not truly understanding why their actions result in painful consequences.

I wish I knew the solution but the victim route that pieces of **** like Andre Carson try to use do nothing but perpetuate the problem. I've always been a believer that our welfare society enables criminal behavior, when you're busy working so you have something to eat you aren't stealing from someone else. When you hand people everything they need to live a comfortable life they have nothing but free time on their hands and I've not met a single person who was taking advantage of the system and using their excess time in a positive manner.

The correct answer is find, thanks Frank. I do better on a computer than on my phone.

If your duty ride is an up-armored Hummer? We could talk ride-along.

He's got a "pit-move" vehicle... it'd be like riding with Dale Earnhardt.
