It seems like a slow night here on the Free Republic. Cold and windy here in the St. Louis area. Thought I'd post a story.

Driving a stolen car, dragging a police officer.
Call in Jesse Jackson. Obvious miscarriage of justice.

"Byron panicked and was simply trying to get away. The car Byron was driving turned out to be stolen."
Ohhh.

The officer said he had stopped Dismukes' car for a traffic violation about 1:45 a.m. but that the youth grabbed his arm as he approached the driver's window and sped away, with the officer clinging to the door. The officer said he could not break free and fired into the car with his free hand after he was dragged for some distance, including when Dismukes, 17, made a U-turn in the street.I'm trying to picture this scene in my mind. It's not quite coming together in a way I can envision it actually happening.

"We're getting the runaround from the police," she said. "They've been very vague."The explanation sounded specific enough to me. The punk tried to get away, and nearly killed an officer in the process.

Call in Jesse Jackson.We have our own local Jesse Jacksons on the case. Al Sharpton does stop by every now and then to help shut down a highway.

When you get stopped by the cops:
STOP, keep both hands in plain sight and say "Yes Sir"

This statement:
"My son was very smart and a very good person."
And these statements:
"The car Byron was driving turned out to be stolen."
"He attended an alternative high school operated by the Ombudsman program and affiliated with Normandy High School."
don't match up. He doesn't sounds like a very smart or good person at all to me.

At least their was no talent lost though.Are you kidding? just think of all the contributions wanna-be rappers have made to our society. (More sarcasm).
I'd hate to see an air conditioner repair man or plumber get shoot.
My father always thought us to obey the police. Good advice on his part.

"He was a very loving person who was kind and intellectual," she said. "My son was very smart and a very good person."
He was 17, performing crap music in a nightclub at night, left in a stolen car after midnight, and tried to kill a cop. I nominate her for Mother Of The Year.

Dismukes' mother, Cynthia Montgomery, 48, of Overland, said she wants a
thorough investigation of the shooting.
Maybe with a thorough investigation we can find more crimes this thug committed and clean up a few more cases. Chances are this wasn't the first. Mommy might not be too happy with the results.

Some people just have no shame. I wonder what the fathers status is?
