Major Davis Jr's family spoke out about shooting today. This is what they said..

[RedneckReject]

I just typed out a really long post, but in my own best interest I deleted it all and decided not to post it. I will only say this: I am appalled. Utterly and completely appalled. These people clearly don't understand what accountability is and they most likely never will. I actually pity future generations

At some point society will have to deal with this mindset, and it won't involve throwing more money at it. It also won't be pretty...

That has been my reference to this for a long time. It is exactly where we are heading.

Withe the mindset these gang bangers have, it is really all that can be done.

They don't respect life, their's or anyone else's. No law or threat of punishment will deter them from committing crime. It is truly a sad/hopeless situation.

As I have posted repeatedly....it starts in the home and neighborhood. They are mindless and out of control from diapers. They have no idea what we as a society stand for and have no intentions of being a part of it. They will do as they please.

That family has never been more proud of their precious baby-daddy thug Major avenging the death of his own baby-daddy before him. He's a hero in their eyes. I'd love to sit down over a beer with any LE/Fire/EMS on this or any other similar scenario and listen to the threats and degradation they endured trying to save sweet Major. I'd love to hear the dialogue over at the jail where ol' Maj and the other recent baby-daddyin' murdering thugs are being housed. There's probably more intelligent chatter at the local animal shelter. The media will probably never report that side of these incidents.

This story is just proof positive that it is Impossible to be too stupid to breathe.

Do you think the comment that "The cop should have stayed in his car" has any validity? Obviously this event never should have taken place, and the idiot never should have fired at the officer...

But there's a non-zero number of people here that think the presence of a rifle should not warrant a stop/search situation.

If they (LEO) get a call of shots fired (or if you hear shots in your neighborhood ) and you're the guy walking around with the gun then yes you should be checked out .

I think I know of a few of those you speak. If they do indeed hold this idea in their noggins of the most absolute of absolutes in regards to open carry and our absolute right to never be even looked at by the police for doing so, I lost what respect I had for them. They are just as bad as the grabbers who say absolutely no guns of any kind, period.

So, the Police should just stay in the cars if there are firearms present? Thats the answer? Maybe the Police should just stay in their police stations, because there are criminals out in the community...

This is just an extension of "This is our 'hood. We rule it and do what we please. You aint welcome, pig."

I am appalled that you would publish such disrespectful drivel as you did in "Murder suspect's family speaks out..." While I'm sure in your mind it was journalistic integrity to provide "the other side of the story", it is not. Not all view points are equally valid, not all opinions are equal, and not all thoughts deserve to be aired to the public and thus validated to some degree.

While it is your 1st amendment right to publish and air such trash, it is also the people's right to react to what you publish. It is my right to boycott you, contact your advertisers to request they withdraw their support, and encourage others to do so. You have lost both my viewership and my respect.

Let's start a list of their advertisers and those who are inclined to do so can contact them.

I am contacting you to request that you withdraw advertising support from Wish TV in the Indianapolis market. After a recent murder of a police officer, they aired the following:

Murder suspect?s family speaks out about shooting | WISH-TV


I, along with a strong contingent of the community, believe that this article is disrespectful and places blame on the officer for his own death. By airing this piece of journalism, the station gives some validation to the idea that the officer should have "stayed in his car" instead of enforcing the laws that we, as a society, have deemed necessary to protect ourselves from the criminal element.


I am sure that this attitude is not reflected by your company, and I hope that you give serious consideration to pulling your support of Wish TV so as not to help sustain a business that would help lay blame for a murdered police officer at his own feet instead of the murderer's.

Report of Shots fired negates that. Presence of a rifle after reports of a crime "shots fired" warrants the stop/question.

Exactly. Having some questions for armed persons after shots being fired is entirely different than detaining someone for possession of a gun in public.

Guess I've lost your respect. Carrying a firearms in public should not warrant a stop and search. In this instance, it was 100% acceptable since he was responding to a shots fired call. If he was driving by and stopped him, I'd question the basis of the stop, when responding to a shots fired that's not the case.

It's very detail specific.

I am in awe that WISH TV would publish such a story. So shameful and disgusting.

The story they ran was appalling, but there is a benefit to them featuring the viewpoint of the family. We get to see the twisted logic of how these people think and how that thinking keeps breeding generation after generation of criminals.

Welcome to our world. The world of the surreal, where up is down and down is up...aka "ghetto logic". Trying to intervene in disturbances/domestics/etc is challenging at best when you cannot wrap your brain around the logic used to justify such incidents. BTW, I believe our public safety director mentioned on TV that 60% of our shooting victims refuse to cooperate with investigators...then we get an earful that we are not doing anything to catch the ones who shot their boy. When we explain that their boy was not cooperating, we get yelled at that we should be able to figure it out without them...haha.
