    I saw the interview his Girlfriend gave the Police. She tried to disarm him, then he used her as a human shield, hiding behind her while shooting. She got muzzle flash burns he was shooting so close to her. She was praising Officer Renn for not shooting until she could get out of the line of fire.

    So that's why he didn't shoot sooner. I was thinking that if I were in the same situation I'd not wait very long after he disobeyed the instruction to drop the weapon. This explains why.

    Amazing to hear that detail. Speaks even greater to Officer Renn's character and even less of jerkwad.

    So is the girlfriend still trash?

    Let's see...we still have that birds of a feather truism which is true much more often than not.

    This could also be the event where she learned a hard lesson about the difference between a good man and a piece of sh*t, unfortunately later in life than one would have preferred.

    That depends............ do you know or understand her mindset?

    Was she concerned for the cops that were being ambushed?
    or
    Was she concerned for her baby daddy getting killed by the police?

    Does it matter? You choose.

    There is no such thing as cold, it is just the absence of heat.
    There is no such thing as dark, it is just the absence of light.
    There is no such thing as evil, it is just the absence of good.

    “The line between good and evil lies at the centre of every human heart.”

    In today's society there is a common mentality and this mentality is often called - The Entitlement Mentality. On the dictionary.com website this is described as: The fact of having a right to something and the amount to which a person has a right.


    So what this means is that one has the right to something and that this right is not based on having earned the right. This right exists regardless of one having to do anything.




    The Modern World
    This mentality often shows up as: expecting something for nothing; the expectation that one can achieve something with minimal or no effort and believing that another person or people owe one something.


    What is then created here is a very one sided attitude and an attitude that is out of balance with life. It is not based on giving and receiving; it is only about taking. On a local level this expectation could placed on family, friends or a spouse for example and on the wider scale it could be the government or an individual or organisation of importance and power.


    Self Centeredness
    Not only is the above one sided; it is also extremely self centered. One is only thinking about themselves and what they can gain. There is no thought or consideration as to what one can give or do for their own fulfillment. One's own needs then take precedence over everyone else's.

    This behavior can naturally create anger and frustration from the people who are working for what they have and are giving and not just taking from this world. This is why some might consider Major Davis Jr. "Trash"


    Major Davis Jr is a taker and not a giver. He took the precious life of Officer Perry Renn. His criminal history is an example of a life lived as a taker.
    Major Davis Jr was created to be good, but he allowed his heart to become corrupt. He will stand before two judgments for his actions. One will be before his death by man, and the other will be after his death on the judgment seat.

    Seems pretty clear that the investigation of (possible) crime with a suspect description falls into the acceptable category.

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon possible cause...

    If I read this right, you may want to tread lightly or start a different thread.
