Latest IMPD police action shooting (2-27-22) video breakdown

Thanks for posting. Do you happen to know how Ofc Mangan is doing? I know he has a long road in front of him, but I'm hoping he's doing the best that can be expected.

From what I hear he still can't eat normally or speak, as he has a trach tube. He is going to face numerous surgeries so it is going to be a long road to recovery. No telling if he will ever be back to normal.

I don't think a defense attorney had anything to do with it. It was 100% on whomever made the mistake and the excuse was quick to be made.

I think we can all certainly hope procedural changes have been made that allow for correction of such simple errors in lieu of releasing dangerous individuals back onto the streets.

Insight. Take media reports with a grain of salt (edit: this looks like some very thorough reporting, especially the first article linked):

We questioned many agencies, but none provided a clear legal answer as to whether Hill should have been back in jail when the shooting happened.

DOC flagged parole violation, looked for suspect for weeks before IMPD officer shooting

Indiana DOC was alerted by an automated notification that Hill was in the Marion County Jail Jan. 31. A warrant was issued, but the court was not aware.

Gunman Accused Of Shooting Cop Was Out Of Jail Due To Spelling Error - The Police Tribune

The conclusion to that last article is a real dandy. There’s much more, but it becomes quite redundant.

Thanks much for the info. That's about what I heard at the begining, time will tell but it's unknown. For what it's worth I wish him and his family/friends the best and prayers will be said.

I thought I heard that it was an error made by DOC on his previous arrest/incarceration.

Probably. But whomever made the error was quick to make excuses as to why it was made. Not like people have other means of being identified....

Careful what you wish for brother. If the camera sees it, the public is going to expect the officer saw it as well.

Great point!!!!!

Interesting to note that if this had been Chicago, per my understanding, the foot-pursuit probably wouldn't have been allowed in the first place, based on what the officers knew at the time they started it.

The perp served 8.5 years of a 15-year sentence for armed robbery (violent felony), and was back out in position for this "mistake" to be made on a subsequent criminal encounter. I'd like to say that after shooting a police officer, he will not be coming back. But I simply don't believe that to be the case. He will be back, eventually.

It's really too bad one of those bullets couldn't have struck in a place where the suspect would have been killed. This person will never be anything but a source of misery and destruction to his fellow man.

Tough break for the rookie officer. He didn't make it out of his training phase, and he's probably already done with his L/E career for good.

"The stolen vehicle alert indicated that there was a gun inside the truck at the time it was stolen"

Muh truck gun strikes again.

Trashed three cop cars and injured or potentially injured three cops. Completely reasonable to light him up to end the pursuit at that point.

Hope Mr. Truck Gun has fun trying to get it back from IMPD evidence.

I liked the part where he fell over the fence head first and lay bleeding in a pile.

The gun was in the truck whrn the truck was stolen. I don't believe it was still there when this incident occurred.

If only the lid had been opened.

They found a gun but do not specify whether it was the stolen gun.

Just curious...do officers still carry shotguns in their vehicles, and would the rules allow one to be employed in a situation like this?

Some do and they are in the trunks. Lethal is lethal, handgun, shotgun, or rifle.

I would have thought IMPD moved to less lethal only on the gauge a while ago.

Generally, you do not want the body camera to have night vision. You really want it to be the same view the officer had. If it ended up going to court (civil, criminal, or public opinion) a jury or judge may see a view of something that the officer never had.

You have the option of either Less Lethal Launcher or Lethal Shotgun, but not both. The LLL are 18" barrel and our lethal are the 14". We have plenty of both.

Is the LLL a 12 gauge or a 40mm? I heard a while back that 12 gauge beanbags were starting to fall out of style in favor of the 40mm for a number of reasons.
