Another member of the immediate community has a say:
INDIANAPOLIS – A woman who knows the man accused of fatally shooting IMPD Officer Perry Renn over the weekend says he had become angry and bitter toward police. April Spells owns the grey and yellow house at the corner of 34th St. and Forest Manor Avenue...However, Spells says none of Davis’ anger justifies the killing of a police officer.
In fact, she says she knew and respected Officer Renn after meeting him on several occasions. “He was a great man, a family man,” Spells told FOX59. “And he was here to do what he was supposed to do, and that was to serve and protect our streets of Indianapolis.” Spells spent more than a decade running a beauty salon out of her house at the corner of 34th and Forest Manor Avenue. She says Officer Renn went above and beyond to make her and her neighbors feel safe.
On several occasions, Spells says officer Renn would wait in his police car to make sure she made it safely to her own car after closing her beauty shop late at night. “He felt like this was his neighborhood,” she said. “This was his job and not only a job, I felt like he reached over and beyond the call of duty.”

"He was a good man"
Yeah, because good men just decide to gun down police officers. Absolutely despicable.
My daughters picture was shared on wthr Facebook page placing her teddy bear on Ofc. Renns patrol car. I was scrolling the comments on the picture and saw a completely ignorant statement so decided to click the profile and read more. Nothing but blatant ignorance and displacement of blame...the same mentality that is so prevalant in "the hood"
Do they realize with 10 millions signatures, she still won't see her son?
Those under arrest have no visitation with 24 hour police watch and are cuffed to the bed.
A 25 year old with 4 offspring with one being a 10 year old child? That is sad. I wonder how many mothers.
We went over this a bit earlier. The officer was responding to a shots fired call.i thought it was perfectly legal to open carry a long gun in this state. Was the officers request for the man to drop the rifle legal??? just wondering

Bogus call or not, he OPENED FIRE.
Seems like only people said he didn't, were family.
fair enough...i dont know what happened that night....but if this man was profiled for having dark skin and dread locks and was defending his life, i hope he gets the easy way out and never makes it out of the hospital...HOWEVER, if he is an evil gangbanging a-hole (which i believe to be more likely) i hope he wakes up and spends the rest of his life in prison.
just my opinion.
an american is an american no matter his location in the city, skin tone, hair style, or even method of rifle carry..
i dont know what happened, but i have my opinions about whats right and whats wrong[
I am going to get into so much trouble.....
