A Center Point man with a violent past is now charged with attempted murder in the pistol-whipping of a Birmingham police detective during a traffic stop Friday morning.
Police today identified the suspect as 34-year-old Janard Shamar Cunningham, also known as Janaris Shavar Cunningham. He has at least a half dozen convictions dating back to 1999, and as many arrests in which charges were dismissed during the same time period.
Cunningham is charged in the beating of a detective who is a six-year veteran of the force. Authorities said Cunningham stole the detective's gun and then repeatedly hit him in the head until the detective stopped moving.

Good cops don’t get paid nearly enough.
Thank gawd no blacks were hurt
The thug that did this should have been hunted and gunned down. Society would have been better off with the sub-human trash.
If a judge lets this untamed thugs back on the streets, the judge no longer deserves police protection.

You might be interested in this one.
BTW how is a guy with “a half a dozen convictions” still walking the streets?
Habitual criminals nbeed to be locked up for good.
Whatever happened to “3 strikes”?

He shouldn’t be sucking valuable oxygen anymore.
He was arrested more times but never convicted. They like to give thugs too many chances.
I am thinking it is coming to that sooner rather than later.
This is what blacklivesmatter thugs want- police to take violence by thugs.
I didn’t need to read past the headline to understand the racial dynamic in play.
Sad.
This officer is lucky not to be dead, his career may be over anyway.
We CANNOT have a police force that is afraid of being the next Darren Wilson.
Ideally he should have shot this guy but then that would have been shooting another “unarmed” black man.
Unarmed does not mean not dangerous.

And since thugs contribute nothing of value to society, I am okay if everyone of them gets taken out if they mess with the police.

True. The thug deserves to be dead. I am saddened that he isn’t.
The officer is very fortunate that he is not dead.
Well Janaris Shataris, or Javaris Daktarius, or Jahoobis Kanoobis, or whatever your name is, you will probably get to plead the attempted murder down to First Degree Assault. That’s minimum two, maximum twenty. See you in about ten years.

Any judge that would do that is not worthy of police protection.
I don’t know. You have to show the intent to murder, not just that murder was a possible outcome. Second degree attempted murder is probably the most they can get under any circumstances.
Plain clothes, unmarked car, stops suspect, one exits the vehicle when warned not to. These were burglary suspects? Sounds like the vehicle had multiple suspects in it.
I would have waited for a marked unit. He let one get too close. It’s never good getting your gun taken, he’s very lucky the suspect didn’t shoot him. Guessing there could have been bystanders close so he held back or possibly hesitated due to the social climate.
This guy is clearly prone to violence and a threat to anyone. With that history anything more than 25 years no parole seems fitting.
Part of his defense will be he could have shot the cop but didn’t. And that proves the defendant still has a spark of passion and good...Or some such babble. And he didn’t believe that man was a cop...on and on.
