how many innocent lives were put at risk over chasing a stolen car and then having a shootout?
Well, savage, you mean a carjacked car. Since you conveniently ignore that fact, the car was taken through an act of violence. These little thugs are going out and committing crimes using guns. Using guns means they are prepared to kill, which they obviously were when one tried to kill the police officer.
Of course, if the little thug had gone down to Ridgeland or Clinton and shot someone a few days later you would've been screaming about the police not doing their job.
As for chasing stolen cars, how many violent criminals such as carjackers and yes, KILLERS, use stolen cars? Quite a few in case you haven't noticed.
Of course, you are probably one of those people who have more of a problem with the police than criminals.
If I am going to steal a car, it won’t be a 20 year old Honda. I am not sure that would be grand larceny.
I want to see the dash cam video before I opine. The description of “return fire” is very vague. Nobody know enough to defend nor criticize the action at this point.
@12:11pm - They aren’t exactly brain surgeons.
12:04PM,
Hindsight being 20/20, of course, nobody knows that ALL they did was steal a car at the time. Nobody knows if all they did was speed or run a red light, but when they flee from the police, it sure looks like they may be guilty of something worse. They could be fleeing because they just shot up a house full of people. If those were your people, you'd want the criminals caught, I'm sure. I realize that this sounds very simplistic, but there seem to be a lot of simple people these days.
"how many innocent lives were put at risk over chasing a stolen car and then having a shootout?"
The real question is how many lives were saved by getting these guys off the street.
@12:04 PM is a snowflake bed-wetter, sovereign citizen wannabe, who frequently receives traffic tickets. So sad.
1:23 is right. You cannot quantify how many lives would have be spared if Jackson had a functional judicial system.
That would be the more interesting metric.
But by all means, keep advocating for the feel good almost nonexistent type of policing the city has, and see how well it works for the suburbs. A true liberal wants all civil society to fail.
1:47 Don't think I'd elevate 12:04 to a "sovereign citizen wannabe".
@12:04
If citizens don't want to be "put at risk" they need to vote for pro-law enforcement candidates, AG's and judges who will see that criminals go to jail AND support enthusiastically the building of more prisons.
"The real question is how many lives were saved by getting these guys off the street."
Bingo.
Blue Lives Matter & so do K-9 animals who are being shot at more & more! All children & citizens deserve protection without shooting into houses, police vehicles etc. Remember the shootout in Madison where officers responded to a hostage situation with a deputy barely making it out alive. After sustaining life altering injuries, he is raising two young children on his own. I can’t remember his name but He is a hero along with the brave men & women who put on their uniforms each day to protect all of us. Thank Each of You for loving us enough & making MS a Better place!
Special thanks to the judge for the no bond decision. $ 350,000.00 isn't too shabby either.
No blessings or low bonds in Madison County.
I saw this movie back in 1991 called Knight rider 2000. The police had ultra sonic guns that zapped the bad guy unconscious. We need to take guns away from all people including the police.
While I'm a staunch supporter of law enforcement, shooting from a moving vehicle isn't exactly an "approved" method of dealing with fleeing felons. Can't say it's anything taught and practiced in the Academy.
