Army Vet Takes Down Gunman

As Army vet Patrick Shields tells it, “My brother an I were cleaning up after tailgating at a football game. We heard a bunch a kids hollering and screaming across the street.”

He looked over and heard the unmistakable sound of gunfire, in addition to seeing the flame erupt from the end of the gun.

Army vet Patrick Shields took down shooter.

He saw the shooter had the gun in his hand and was running away. Right into the waiting arms of Mr. Shields. The military veteran took the shooter down and grabbed the gun. All the while binding the shooter into a restraining hold from which there is no escape.

The Brownsville TN police arrived soon and took the shooter into custody. The police chief praised the efforts of Mr. Shields and his brother for saving several lives on that crisp Friday football night.

Patrick Shields said he didn’t do anything that anyone else would have done. Beg to differ sir.

A BIG cop’s perspective tip O’ the hat to the Shields brothers and keep up the good work.

Carry on!

Marilyn Mosby, remember her…Strikes Out Again!

Our old “friend” marilyn mosby (D-Let’s indict another cop) lost another round in her tiff with the Baltimore Police Department.

A couple cops were “Cleaning the corner” when one of the subjects took off. An officer ran after him and the fleeing jerk turned around and was knocked on his butt. The dash cam of the police car shows all this.

Enter our favorite prosecutor. Remember freddy grey and the six cops she charged, all to be found NOT GUILTY. Never one to miss an opportunity to screw over cops she indited the cop who chased down the fleet of foot felon. Oh yeah, the guy that got knocked on his ass had a gun and a lengthy and violent record.

At trial the officer was found NOT GUILTY. He was reinstated as a BPD officer and given back pay. Small reward for all the BS he had to go through.

Seems like the good citizens of Baltimore want this kind of police work and long for a safe and secure neighborhood. Ain’t gonna happen with comrade mosby at the helm. Pity, I remember Baltimore as a beautiful and vibrant city. But that was a few years ago.

Peace.

Body Cam Stops Bullet, Protesters Demand Footage

Two Baltimore cops, working as a crime suppression unit in a “Hot Spot” area observed some dodo make a hand to hand drug sale. You’ll have to trust me on this one…street cops know a drug transaction when they see it.

They attempted to stop and question the offender when he turned and started firing at the cops.

One of the officers was hit three times, once in his bullet resistant vest, once in his left elbow and finally, one in his body cam.

Both cops fired at this jerk until, in police terminology, “the threat was neutralized.”

The cop who was shot stayed on the scene and told his partner to take cover. What a set a “Balls.”

Turns out the bad guy had just been released from prison after serving 14 years on a 20 year sentence for MURDER.

Protesters demanded to see the wounded officers body cam footage. The Acting Chief told ’em …”Can’t, the body cam has a bullet stuck in it.”

These two officers exhibited the heart mind and soul of the warrior spirit and deserved a monstrous Cop’s Perspective Tip O’ the Hat.

Carry on gentlemen!

ICE Agents Arrest Man Taking Wife To A Hospital

Last week ICE Agents arrested a man who was taking his wife to a hospital in San Berdo, CA. She was due for a planned C-Section.

As they were stopping for gas their car was surrounded by ICE Agents who took the male portion of the equation into custody.

The howl of the media could be heard worldwide. Heartless, soulless Agents of our government taking this man into custody. They noted that he had been in the US for 12 years. His wife 10 years and neither had been in any trouble of any kind. Is this just another example of the heavy handed ICE operation that we have been fed by certain politicians and the media.

NO, it’s not!! The agents were working off a referral from INTERPOL and the Mexican Government to arrest this man on a the charge of homicide. Funny we didn’t hear a lot about that until the reporters and pols took the time and effort to listen to an explanation of the pinch.

Great job by these agents who face a challenging environment, especially in California.

Don’t Be Swingin’ At Memphis Cops

Last week some dodo was arrested for making a scene at a famous Memphis restaurant. The cops arrived and asked the unruly patron to leave the Blues City Cafe on world famous Beale Street.

Like a lot of drunks he protested and continued to disturb the Blues patrons. He was escorted off the premises and pushed an officer. He then, foolishly, tried to swing at one of the cops…bad idea. Bad idea indeed.

Aftermath of picking a fight with a Memphis police officer. Not a good idea.

The officer punched the violator on the right side of his face and sent him sprawling to the ground.

Both the officer and the suspect were taken to an area hospital where they were treated and released.

The ‘Dumbass” was booked for a number of offences and had a hell of a hangover and a screwed up face when he sobered up.

There’s a lesson in this…Don’t Be Swingin’ At No Memphis Cops, it’s hazardous to you’re health.

The cop, when asked what happened to his hand said, “I hit it on something stupid.

Hat’s off to the MPD and all who “Serve and Protect.”

Wild Chase/Shootout By Las Vegas PD

Unless you’ve been under a rock or in a coma I’m sure you’ve seen the video of the LVMPD cop who chased down 2 murder suspects. That is, pursuing the suspects whilst shooting through the windshield of his marked unit.

Oh yeah, just in case those non-cops think it’s just horrible to shoot from a moving police car, at a fleeing felon check this out.

The vehicle being pursued was just involved in a homicide. As the officer attempted to pull the vehicle over they took off. In doing so these wipes fired a number of shots at the police car. Officer William Umana returned fire. Shooting at the car through his open driver’s side window and his windshield.

The car was eventually stopped after it careened into an elementary school. The driver was killed the passenger’s not doing so well either. Both of these chumps have/had a lengthy and violent record of convictions.

A BIG”Cop’s Perspective” tip o’ the hat to Officer Umana who has the heart, mindset and grapes of a warrior.

May god bless the men and women of the LVMPD and all those who “Serve and Protect.”

Would Be Rapist Picks Wrong Victim

In Lawrence County TN, the wife of a Sheriffs Deputy was attacked by a scumbag who attempted to rape the 5′ 3″ woman. Oh yeah, she weighs about 100 pounds.

During the attack she managed to take the goofs knife away and stabbed him several times. She also bit him on the chest leaving a doozie of an imprint.

She broke free and called 911. The suspect was arrested and claimed that he was forced to commit the crime. Sure you were.

This wipe was just released 3 days earlier from the Lawrence County jail after being booked for a number of violent felonies. He has a long and violent history with Law Enforcement.

The Sheriff was bombarded with quires asking why they let this guy out of jail. The Sheriff replied that he doesn’t set bonds…judges do. Please redirect your e-mails and comments to the judges.

Wake up you black robed upholder of the law. Some folks shouldn’t be allowed to walk the streets and this jerk sounds like one!

After the ordeal the Deputy’s wife was treated and released from a local hospital…the suspect wasn’t so lucky. He was admitted in serious condition. Too bad he wasn’t 10-7, with mileage.

Maybe this guy needs to be placed in the joint where he won’t be able to terrorize others.

Great job Mrs. Deputy!!

Cop Killer, Served 2 Life Terms, Up For Parole

I guess New York isn’t the only place where they parole cop killers. So does Missouri. A jerk who killed 3 people, one being a Florissant, MO DET SGT has served his 2 life terms. What? Is this SOB still alive? Since he is he has NOT served his 2 life terms. He hasn’t even served one.

In 1979, elmer hayes, escaped from the MO DOC and robbed a bank, raped a young girl and shot DET SGT Jay Noser. SGT Noser died 8 years later but suffered until he died. hayes also killed a man and his wife in Washington, County MO and was doing life on that charge when he escaped.

hayes has been a model prisoner with few write ups. Well isn’t that special. He says he wants to get out of prison so he doesn’t have to die in the joint. Tough bananas dude. By you’re hand you sentenced three good and honest souls to death. Don’t think it’s too much to demand that hayes dies in custody and buried in the prisoners graveyard.

If this ticks you off as much as me please contact the MO Board of Probation and Parole @ 573-751-8488 or e-mail @ probation.parole@doc.mo.gov.

Tell them your against the parole of elmer hayes!!
