How did this clown get on the police force? dont they do psych evals?

Local radio reports they are calling in councelors when school resumes. Not sure when that will be.

[SE Mom]

I didn’t catch who FOX was interviewing- though it sounded like the county school superintendent- he sounded pretty sober. Small town like that..will not be the same for years.

God bless them all.

Paul Bunyan’s...sounds like a plan. :)

[org.whodat]

I figured that was how this would end.

Where does it say who's dead?

[Calvin Locke]

As for me I think an effort should be made to hire cops with an IQ greater than 60.

That makes too much sense for public safety and the taxpayers.

The ACLU and the Civil Rights division of the Justice Dept. have been on a rampage against jurisdictions that hire only qualified and competent people.

Sounds like another tragic "deafening rap music before dawn" case. Apparently 'turn down the flippin' music' wasn't clear. Time to license boom boxes. Maybe prohibit their sale on weekends, too.

His ex gf was 19 years old I believe. She graduated last year. So 19 or 20.

Yes it is very calm and usually our “big news” is someone who shot a deer illegally or someone who is getting divorced or married.

Still no word about the friend yet, but since no one has heard from her at all today I doubt the news will be good when we do hear.

I do know one ex gfs name but the spelling may be off Jordann Murray and I have a couple more but not from anyone reliable at this point.

Here in TX we had a Sheriff and a deputy get into a gunfight over a paycheck dispute.

Theres some bad apples out there

Wow! You two newshens are great additions to FR.

You're on the spot where this tragedy has unfolded and you knew just what to do. We have more of a perspective from the details and local color you've provided.

It's amazing how there are freepers in the most remote or the smallest hamlets of this country who hasten to inform the rest of us when there's breaking news.

Welcome to this forum, gals. You're doing great!

Not to make light of this, but I guess she “done her daddy dirty”.

Prayers to all who were affected by this nutcase cop

This is why the MSM is dead FR covers the globe

[babygene]

Probably a justified shooting... /s He probably told them to lower the music and they refused.

[SE Mom]

Has the sheriff lifted the gag order yet? Is local news just speculationg or are there any facts yet?

[CindyDawg]

Was the cop a hometown boy? That has to even hurt worse, if one of your own did this.

Yep, badges don’t automatically instill honor and the people behind them don’t always try to live up to the office.

The next county over here in north GA, a deputy shot up the house of a guy who was dating his ex-wife. The sheriff was eventually arrested too as he tried to help cover it up from the state police investigation.

But then, that’s the nature of news. Being good isn’t newsworthys so we never really hear about the great cops out there.

[NorthwoodsGirl]

Thank you I am glad to be here and I just want to get the info out to all of you before the media messes it all up.

I cant see them having school tomorrow. It would be pretty miserable since the classes are so so small. Depending on the grade there are 60-100 kids in a whole grade.

Cops are headed back to their counties now that he is dead and there is nothing else to do at the crime scene I think our town can start the grieving process as soon as they release the names!!!

Guess you didn't catch post no. 16 that explained:

Packers-Bears game tonight. Lots of people have get-togethers on Sundays here in NE Wisconsin

To post such a cold-blooded, judgmental statement,

(A dozen people at a 3 am party? I'm guessing no one

is going to miss the party guests that got shot. Some folks like to sleep!)

on top of the fact that you can't know the who's and why's, is unconscionable.

You sound like one cold son of an

(I figure anyone who can dish out such self-righteous pontifications about the death of many young people can take it as well)

So true. I have seen both sides
