Dallas Protest, Shots Fired

[Frank_N_Stein]

Trust, but verify. Can't share an incident without having verification on it.

No need to be a jerk, Frank.

I'm not being a jerk. Your implication was that because it wasn't in the news, it didn't happen.

With as much trouble as INGO has sometimes believing everything we read on the internet forgive some of us for being a bit skeptical about something we only heard on the internet.

See "19 white female bodies in freezers" up thread.

I know, you can't trust cops to tell the truth. Especially one that was on duty when it happened.

March Ratney took a 12 year hit in 2011 for a svf in possession/ RLE charge with another svf case and intimidation etc dismissed. For once he wasn't modified out, so the DOC appears to have paroled him to get him out.

Assuming of course this is the same March Ratney...

So with the wife and kid(s) at home, this guy who was just turning his life around, is looking at at least three charges of attempted murder right?

Is it too early to say he needs dropped down a well?

Oh and he was on probation for c felony battery and c felony hgun without a license when he committed the svf.

But if one person in 10,000, who doesn't fit the profile of police-hating racists, is harmed, I'd feel bad.

The kinder gentler Kut....

Depends, Indiana has a drive by statute but it isn't under the murder caption...

I do have to ask, concerning the shooting of the officers home, and since this has come up several times before... were all the witnesses white?

And we knew you were on duty how?

Let's roll back to post #960. You say "at his house". Did you mean you were physically there, or that's just where the shots fired occurred? I took it the second way. Did you mean it the first way? That changes the implication of your post from "this is what I heard" (unverified) to "this is what I saw" (verified).

No need to be a jerk, Frank.

I thought there were rules about name calling on the INGO.
We know most LEOs won't even come here any more.

Five sworn officers were murdered in cold blood the other day, two more yesterday. There have been several incidents lately of violent attacks on officers. You really think a good man like this is going to make that up? Take your own advice. Geesh.

No one should be immune to being civil. LEO or not.

Some LEO here act just like everyone else, and are easy to talk to. Most of those, I doubt I even know they're LEO.

And others have a sense of superiority in everything they say. Speak as though their word is the last word, the only word that matters.

I'm as pro-LEO as the next guy, but no one on INGO should speak as an authority except the people that run INGO.

All stories need verified. Trust, but verify.

Didn't say anyone made anything up. I trusted what they said, but I wanted verification. I actually shared what they said with journalists I know prior to getting a news story... because I trusted what they said.

This attitude isn't isolated to this thread. People here shouldn't have to walk on eggshells because they're speaking to someone that happens to be a LEO outside of INGO. Everyone makes mistakes... and people posting one or two-line posts here about something that happened nearby could also be mistaken on some of the details. I was waiting for a statement or link to arise to cement what happened.

I guess a little human compassion is just too much to ask from some people.

Since I'm sure you're referring to me... given what I've said and responded with above... how in the world do you draw this conclusion? Just stirring the pot?

This is absolute nonsense.

Well, they agreed to speak to the police, so...

 

[Kutnupe14]

GPIA doesn't like me, AND has me on ignore, so I don't anyone to get it twisted and assume we're "buddies," lol....

I think he's taking a lot of unwarranted grief. He asked for verification, that's all. He wasn't calling anyone a liar, he wasn't doubting the story. He simply asked for a source. A source that one could, at least on the surface, consider unbiased. An Officer reporting an event about another Officer, and there being a lack of a source, hours after the event is bound to make people scratch their head, and wonder about the details of that instance. GPIA has made his bones as being the unofficial INGO "breaking news" correspondent. And to his credit, he has posted links to support his stories... if anyone deserves a break, in this instance, it's probably him.

 

[Kutnupe14]

...right, exactly my point. I just want some confirmation.

I'm stirring the pot? That's rich.
