Handgun and other evidence displayed in attempted murder trial of Myles Webster
Wounded officer says of conviction, 'The system works'
Webster verdict: Guilty on all counts
Prosecution, defense rest in Webster trial; defense calls only one witness
Two women agree Webster fired gun during car ride in city
Manchester officer testifies he could clearly see the face of shooter
MANCHESTER -- Manchester Police Officer Ken Loui took the witness stand Friday in the attempted murder trial of Myles Webster, 23, accused of shooting Manchester Police Officer Daniel Doherty March 21 at the corner of Wayne and Rimmon streets.
Loui identified, and showed to the jury, the Glock semi-automatic gun found at the base of the white plastic fence between 141 and 145 Putnam St., where Webster was arrrested.
Loui said the gun was found on the 141 side of the fence and a black jacket was found in a trash can by a shed at 145 Putnam. When Loui held up the jacket, which appeared large, the inside of the hood was a large black-and-white check, which looked like the hood lining on the jacket Webster was wearing in the video surveillance at the Rite Aid store at McGregor Square shortly before Doherty was shot.
He also showed jurors a black T-shirt found inside out in a walkway at 294 Dubuque St. When the shirt was turned right-side out, a small alligator logo was visible on the upper left chest area. Jennifer Whitfield, who testified Thursday, said Webster was wearing a shirt like that when he was with her and two other women when they went to Rite Aid and when he got out of her car at a traffic light shortly thereafter at McGregor Square.
Loui also identified 14 shell casings from a Glock .357 semi automatic and 10 shell casings from Doherty's .40 gun that were found where Doherty was shot, bullets found in the apartment building at the corner of Wayne and Rimmon, and a .357 shell casing found on Granite Street that matched the casings found at the shooting scene.
Whitfield and another woman who was with Webster in Whitfield's vehicle both testified that Webster fired a shot out the window of Whitfield's car as they went under the Granite Street Bridge on their way to the West Side March 21.

MONTREAL — Questions still remain, but the picture became slightly less murky Wednesday night, when the Alouettes learned they weren't losing their general manager, Jim Popp, to the NFL's Carolina Panthers.
"If this means Jim's staying put, we're very happy that's the case," Mark Weightman, the Als' chief operating officer, told The Gazette. "Everything was speculative.
"Today's like yesterday — Jim's part of the organization," Weightman added. "We're very excited to have him remain a part of it."
Popp, the only GM the Als have known since they returned to the Canadian Football League in 1996, was reportedly interviewed by the Panthers on Tuesday, along with New York Giants' college scouting director Marc Ross.
Instead, the Panthers moved quickly, hiring David Gettleman as their GM. Gettleman, 61, spent 13 seasons with the Giants as their director of pro personnel prior to becoming the team's senior pro personnel analyst last year. Gettleman interviewed with Carolina on Wednesday, as reportedly did Tennessee Titans executive Lake Dawson.
Popp, in the midst of organizational meetings in Charlotte, N.C. with assistant GM Marcel Desjardins, along with football operations assistant Uzooma Okeke and Joey Abrams, the co-ordinator of scouting and football administration, couldn't be reached for comment.
Although the Als have seemingly dodged a bullet for now — as the director of player personnel and football operations, Popp's the architect of this team — there's no guarantee his name won't be linked to another NFL team in some capacity. Weightman, however, will only cross that bridge if and when it becomes necessary.
If Popp's staying put, there's no guarantee Marc Trestman won't soon be leaving. The Als' head coach this week reportedly interviewed on subsequent days with the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. And Desjardins has had two interviews with Ottawa, scheduled to field a CFL expansion team in 2014.
If any of this is disconcerting to Als owner Robert Wetenhall, he's playing coy. Through his assistant, Wetenhall sent an email to The Gazette saying: "Bob doesn't want to waste your time letting you know that he's not going to comment on speculation about his employees."
Earlier Wednesday, RDS reported the Als were on the verge of hiring a new defensive-line coach. According to the network, Chris Hovan has agreed to join the team, but hasn't signed a contract.
The optics of hiring an assistant — Hovan would potentially replace Mike Sinclair, who resigned last month and subsequently joined Saskatchewan — when Trestman's future's uncertain, is nothing short of mind-boggling. Predictably, both Trestman and Popp denied the report.
In an email to The Gazette, Trestman wrote: "Cannot confirm."
Popp, as the man responsible for signing any new assistant to a contract, was more vehement.
"There won't be any contracts until we know whether Marc's going to stay with the club or not," Popp said. "Nothing's going to happen. Even if Hovan has agreed, I'm the one who talks to the guy and does contracts and figures out if we're going to (financially be able to) have him. I've not been spoken to or asked.
"No coach is signed (until) Marc knows if he's back. If Marc's not back then we have to find another head coach - and he'll make the decision."
Nonetheless, Popp admitted the Als have some interest in Hovan. Coincidentally, Hovan was registered at the Nashville hotel being used by the team this week during the American Football Coaches Association convention, which ended Wednesday.
"Hovan is a candidate, and maybe he has verbally said that he's coming — if Marc's back," Popp said.
Hovan, 34, was a first-round draft choice (25th overall) of the Minnesota Vikings in 2000. He spent five seasons with the Vikings, playing in 77 games, recording 192 tackles and 17 quarterback sacks. He signed with Tampa Bay in April 2005, spending five seasons with the Buccaneers before being released. Hovan then joined the St. Louis Rams in August 2010, but was placed on injured reserve, due to a back injury. That ended his season and NFL career.
He was the assistant strength and conditioning coach at South Florida in 2011.
Note: The Als on Wednesday announced the signing of Sherbrooke kicker William Dion to a three-year contract. Dion spent five seasons with the Vert et Or, establishing a CIS record for most career field goals, with 82. The 25-year-old is a Drummondville native.

What's the easiest way to make a boring old desktop PC more exciting? Flame decals? Go-faster stripe? Speed holes? The answer, according to Mike Schropp of Total Geekdom, is to cram in some soil and grass, and call it a day.
Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. The Bio PC sports a strip of wheatgrass adorning its lid like a fluorescent green punk haircut – it's encouraged to grow by the heat released by the electronic innards of the machine, which also contains tubes of soil to spread the heat upwards.
Made with spare parts, the 3Ghz Pentium 4 processor and 2GB RAM won't be loading up Battlefield 3 in ultra HD settings any time soon – but if you fancy making your own, it will at least introduce a bit of natural shrubbery into your abode – makes a change from the digital dragon-littered forests of Skyrim.

Not a good time to be selling things with the Andrew Jones name.
Just my 2 cents, but most of the glowing reviews come from people who have upgraded from really lousy speakers - such as the ones included with HTIB systems.
When buying speakers on a budget, your best bet is to buy used audiophile grade speakers that have good foam surrounds (or have been refoamed). Classic Advents with new foam sell for around $100 for the pair these days. old school Polks are affordable too. Also when you go back to the 1970s, Realistic (yes, Radio Shack's brand) speakers still do pretty well when compared to the cheap stuff made today.
Won't old audiophile grade speakers have rubber surrounds?

In compliance with the latest regulatory requirements, a BioModule allows for workspace to be added to your facility for a limited upfront investment and faster than conventional construction methods.
The BioModule concept relies on prefabricated structures initially developed and designed by Charles River for the housing of laboratory animals. This modular lab concept allows for the rapid construction of a workspace that is able to meet and uphold stringent biocontainment and biosecurity requirements. The biological protection level of a BioModule can be fully customized based on operational requirements. A BioModule can be built to operate under negative or positive air pressure, depending on intended use (vaccine production, contaminated animal housing, and transgenic animal breeding vs. conventional and clean animal housing).
Our animal facility consulting and engineering team can customize a BioModule to meet your lab's specific needs. These modular structures can be fully operational within 14 to 16 weeks after ordering and can be used alone or in connection with each other or with an existing building. In terms of finance models, we offer the option of upfront purchasing or leasing arrangements, depending on your specific financial constraints.
For more information about BioModules, please contact us at 1.877.CRIVER.1 or email@example.com.

Graphic Video Shows Police Officer Fatally Shooting Man 11 Times — Was It Justified?
Attorneys released graphic footage of a police officer shooting a man 11 times outside a suburban home — one day after the officer was cleared of wrongdoing. The suspect died and the officer who shot him is back on active duty.
Ernesto Duenez Jr., 34, was wanted in connection with a domestic violence incident the day officers tracked him down on June 8, 2011. Duenez's attorneys showed the final graphic moments of their client's life on Wednesday at a press conference in Oakland, Calif., the Manteca Bulletin reports.
The video shows police waiting for Duenez to arrive at his home so they could arrest him on domestic violence charges. When he arrives in his pickup truck, police swarm around him.
As Duenez climbs over the passenger seat and opens a door, Manteca police officer James Moody approaches the vehicle with his gun drawn.
Police have argued that officer Moody saw a knife in the suspect's right hand and feared he might throw it at him or charge at him with it. "Drop the knife now!" Moody can be heard shouting in the video. "Hands up! Hand up Ernie! Don't you move, Ernie, don't you move or I'll shoot you."
From the Bulletin:
The question centers on whether Duenez in fact had a knife in his possession when he attempted to climb out of the vehicle.
In one photo Fredericks concludes that Duenez in fact has a knife in his hand while in a separate photo declares that its "an object shaped consistent with a knife" – something that the family's legal counsel sees as an attempt to justify an action that ended the life of Duenez.
In a flash, the officer is seen in the video firing 13 rounds in 4.2 seconds as Duenez moves to exit the vehicle. The suspect was shot 11 times; once in the head, eight times in the body and twice in the extremities. Four of the shots were fired while he was already on the ground. He died of gunshots wounds to his chest and abdomen, according to officials.
In the disturbing video, a bullet wound is visible in Duenez's back as he rolls over on the ground, grabbing his chest.
Then his wife, Whitney Duenez, comes rushing out of the home, hollering at the police officer who just shot her husband. She ignores the officer's order to say back and cries over her husband's body.
It was later discovered that Duenez's foot was caught in the seat belt.
Watch the graphic footage of the shooting below (CONTENT WARNING!):
Duenez's family is now seeking "retribution."
"We have communicated to the Department of Justice that this man (Moody) should be prosecuted for murder," attorney John Burris said. "From our point of view this officer has been fully protected by numerous law enforcement communities."
He continued: "The Police Department ratified this conduct on the very first day as justifiable and the District Attorney's office has come back as well and justified this conduct and retained an expert that raises real questions about his integrity and his independence in making certain assumptions."
Burris said the officer should be "held accountable just like anyone else would be held accountable when they engage in this kind of barbaric conduct."
Gabe Duenez said the cop murdered his brother in "cold blood." He says he and others in the community see the officer that pulled the trigger as a threat to the community.
"We want to keep our city safe and we don't feel that it is with him out there," he added.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:30pmgo aheaad and watch it a few times you can see. the cop rolls up scares the guy first, then tells him to drop what he had. the guy reacts and turns to the truck to drop what he had. the cop starts fireing his gun.. its simple, the cop had no reason to shoot. thats it..
No where in the police recored that has been released so far does it say they found a knife or a gun on the scene only that the video "appears to be consistent" with a a knife. Seriously if the guy threw the knife at the cop would it really do any thing? hes wearing body armor.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 10:12pmHe did have knife, I read it somewhere else. Here is a little history on this guy.
Duenez had convictions for felony evading arrest, vehicle theft, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of controlled substances, burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, participation in a criminal street gang and statutory rape, according to Hensley. Police were aware of Duenez' criminal background and considered him armed and dangerous, Hensley said.
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 6:20pmIn Iraq, a guy was running away from Iraqi police and he climbed onto one our vehicles. I shot at him twice (at close range) hitting him once in the hand. He fell down, was no longer a threat, the police arrested him, and that was it…. The thug with a badge in this video just committed murder. The suspect did not advance toward the cop, and was on the ground while this cop fired round after round after round into his defenseless body. This cop is probably bragging to his buddies about how he's a real man now because he killed somebody. Instead of controlling the peoples' right to bear arms, we need to control some of these thugs with badges. They're just has dangerous with a gun as any criminal, because they think that they're above the law.
Posted on December 15, 2012 at 12:01amFor those who wonder how a police state could happen in the country, watch the video.
Duenez may not have been a model citizen, but the police force of today is not the warm fuzzy cop on the beat I was taught to trust. Instead of acting as fellow citizens who cash a check for a job done, they think they are something special and need to act like Dirty Harry and all the glorified anti hero's they grew up watching and now copy in real life.
I am more afraid off the members of 'Law ENFORCEMENT' and the bureaucrats who confiscate our taxes to fund them, than the crooks. Remember when they were Peace Officers?
"…….when you pry it from my cold dead hand!"
Posted on December 15, 2012 at 1:42pmYou can't unload 11 rounds into a dude with a knife (or an object "consistent" with knife). Even if he had a knife, the cop is a safe distance so that the knife presents little, if any danger to him whatsoever. On top of that he's lying on the ground and the cop is still putting caps in him. Now, if the thug is firing at you with a gun, sure, fire 100 rounds into him, who cares, he deserves it. This was senseless, I don't care what the guys wrap sheet was. Totally unnecessary. Cop should not only be fired, he should be jailed.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:25pmPerhaps I've grown excessively cynical, but after looking at the picture of Duenez, well I just don't think the world lost a Mother Teresa or Albert Einstein here. Nothing I'd lose any sleep over.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:35pmGee!!!!! Those gang tattoos must have hurt. Did he get a prison discount?
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:41pmyeah, your point is well taken. The story, the defense atty, nor the cops mention anything of a criminal history–either vioent crime or not. But by all indications, the tatts are jail-house tatts. If indeed I'm right, then cops responding to a domestic to apprehend a known violent con are more apt to respond in this manner. Again, that's IF he has a known violent criminal history. If so, then the cop is thinking "I'm goin' home safely tonight".
Typically, when a cop calls the suspect by his first name, it indicates he and others on the dept have dealt with him before and know his history. I speak from personal expierence here -
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:42pmOne shot, two shot, three shot, eleven. Indeed, and what a former gangbanging, loving, father he must have been. I'm sure the family will have their quaint candlelight vigil and demand justice, until the check from the taxpayers arrives in the mail of course, then they'll be able to moveon.org.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:03pmJust shoot everyone that looks different, especially if they seem marginally poor or a minority. The State is always right, and if he has a criminal history his vote isn't good anyway. Best remove him from the rolls and distribute his assets to others. Shoot everyone that has tattoos too. Camps I guess would be too expensive, all those excessive rounds of ammo bought by the DHS and IRS need to be used for something.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 10:22pmNote to self…in my next life I will take the money I saved for tattoos and buy a bullet proof vest instead.
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 10:03amCavullo, you say this went bad because Ernie looks different or is poor? Another poster said the police should stay out of minority areas because the people solve their own problems.
Minority neighborhoods are run by gangs. Criminals are "taken care of" in no way except by other criminals. The cycle is perpetual. Remember, there are innocent people in those neighborhoods that fear for their lives and their children.
In any case, Ernie is or was a gang member. In my opinion, the cop did the world a favor. I wish they all met a "trigger happy" cop. Regardless of the seatbelt issue, nobody gets out of the passenger side (unless the driver door is inoperable). It would be interesting to see facts come out, but we won't see them.
All these cries about police abuse are rediculous. They have so little power to deal with serious street criminals here in CA that it's amazing we still have any cops on the street. Yet, I do see the calliber of officers being diminished. Sorry, but short female officers hired because they "connect" with a "minority" community is stupid. Typical gang members aren't part of a "minority" community here in CA. Hispanics are the majority. Long live the cartels and criminals. (extreme sarcasm)
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:23pmLets see…Union cop..Union lawyers…and unlimited authority…people this could happen to any of us…and If you don't think so you are fooling yourself….he shot him in the back…what a flipping coward..

Posted on December 14, 2012 at 1:12pmRedfish. What's the most stressful thing you did today…run a yellow light? Felony DV suspect, armed with a knife climbs over his passenger seat so he can evade arrest by running into an occupied home even after seeing that the officer is out of the holster and issuing verbal commands to stop. You are out of your car, no cover or concealment, armed with a pistol. The suspect is inside 20 feet and you have about 20 seconds to decide if he's a threat to you or the people inside the house. Not to mention that if you do wait and issue more verbal commands he's now running parrallel to the house, still armed. You now have an occupied structure as the back drop for any pistol rounds that do not hit the target, which is likely at this point becuase you've lost your tactical advantage and are now running side step with the suspect while trying to shoot him with the most inaccurate weapon system a police officer has. Care to add your expert opinion on use of force laws, firearms discipline, or officer tactics?
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 5:35pm@4STARS – Well done, enough said.
Posted on December 15, 2012 at 12:35am4Stars.. you take a very one sided view of this. IF the suspect had a knife I never saw him leave the side of his car. So he wasn't running into the house. And IF he had a knife why do you keep firing when he's on the ground and no longer a threat? I'd call that action alone the sign of an incomepetent police officer who should not have a gun.. I respect what good police officers do every-day but what I saw on this video was a manslaughter. This police officer should be relieved of duty.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:23pmIf the officer is calling him "Ernie", he has obviously dealt with this guy before. Many of times. The officer had some knowledge of what "Ernie" was capable of doing.

In California, domestic violence restraining orders are very serious. (Thank O.J. for that) It is one of the very few court order violations someone can be arrested for and taken to jail. They will also be given a "no bail" status meaning they cannot be bailed out.
The judge orders you to stay away, you don't. The police officer, who knows you, points a gun at you and orders you to stop or drop a weapon and you don't, well, you get shot.-
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 9:10amThat's what struck me, the cop knew this guy and was clearly worried about him. Now, whether that was justified is hard to tell; I'd like to see this guys record. That said, it's just a shame Ernie wasn't a little smarter. Bringing a knife to a gunfight is a rookie mistake.
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 6:33pmAre you kidding me? As soon as that guy stepped out of the car, the cop was shooting.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:22pmArent police officers' trained to empty their magazine? Or is that just something said on cop shows.
Log in to ReplyReply-
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:31pmNo you should always empty the magazine at the threat. This is taught now because of so many incidents of an officer shooting someone, thinking they must be going down and then getting killed by the mortally wounded felon. This is also the case for any CCW holder.. empty the magazine, instantly reload. The question in this case is.. is this suspect a physical threat? From the footage it doesn't look like it, and if a private citizen had killed this person they would likely have a hard time proving their case in court. It doesn't matter though. This is the new America and we must tolerate the excesses of the State and its enforcers.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:57pmNo Cops are not taught that. The rule is keep firing until the threat is neutralized. 1 shot, or 1,000.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:16pmIf you are protecting yourself you should always shoot to kill, not to injure.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 5:11pmYou are trained to engage the threat of deadly force by shooting, center mass, until the threat is reduced or stopped.
Police are also trained to DE-escalate incidents… doesn't always happen.
I'll reserve judgement until ALL the facts come out.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:20pmThere is no defense for firing at a subject 11 times.If you're that bad a shot you certainly don't belong in the Police force and you ARE a danger to the community and your partners. Thats a FACT no need to investigate hand over that badge.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:38pmHe needs more time at the practice range, make ALL shots count. Why did he not shoot the lady ? He should be fired.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:47pmNo one shoots to wound anymore. Most people, including civilians, are trained to empty the magazine in self defense. The only sure way to stop a threat is to sever the spinal cord or damage the central nervous system via a head or neck shot. The question in this case is not the number of rounds fired. The question is if the officer should have fired at all. It looks really really ify to me, I think the officer jumped the gun (no pun intended). If a civilian would not be justified in shooting that man in the same situation then the officer is not justified either.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:38pmCONKUUR:
I spent a long time in Nam and many firefights. It doesn't make you a better shot. Your scared to death each and every time. Your bullets go in every direction. All the training in the world on a range doesn't come near what it does when the enemy decides to push your buttons. Each and every time is different than the time before. This officer will go home tonight because he relied on his training. The scared factor was just added as a bonus and he succeeded. -
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 10:01pmYeah guys I was just being funny. The officer was clearly panicked and thats the reason he shot.A normal driver gets out from the driver side. He came out from the passenger side which I'm sure the officer would be concerned as to why and what he might be picking up. No idea if he told him to come out that way. The sound was muffled.If he didn't though that would be justification for concern. I didn't see it as matter to use deadly force from what I saw but who knows.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:20pmNever take a knife to a gunfight I guess. It looked to me like the cop was a little too quick on the trigger but I'm not the one making the decision if the killing was justified,just my opinion.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:55pmFormer Military, Former Cop, This shooting was COMPLETELY UN JUSTIFIED. I saw nothing that would've caused me to shoot. Its MURDER.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:18pmFrom the camera angle, you cant really see his hands. It just looks to me that the cop was not justified at the time he plugged him. One of us would def be in jail facing at least 2nd deg murder. The perp had not YET presented an actual threat. Maybe he would have a few seconds later, maybe he was just planning to run. We will never know. But one thing is for sure. The cop is gonna walk.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:43pmMIL-DOT From what I could see it looked like it wasn't a justified shooting, I didn't see a weapon and you're correct the cop will walk.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 11:26pmTexas: YOU are a former cop? Good God. I must have misread your posts then. No wonder this country is so completely screwed.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:18pmI'm sure that is a real safe community and the officer had no reason to be afraid. NOT!

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:17pmNot justified what so ever. Foot gets caught on seat belt, cop opens fire. Murder as far as I am concerned, even if he had a knife (which I doubt).

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:31pmIf Sharpton and Jackson spent more time cleaning up their ghettos, the people wouldn't be living in a ghetto. Excuses aren't the way to evolve. I feel so sorry for the Americans that are black when they have to put up with the threats from the african-americans.

I guess your comment was directed at me… I'm white as can be, and I offered no excuse for that man
coward cop plain and simple
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:57pmLANDO:
The story said he had a knife. Training has always taught that a person that has a knife within 21 feet is in the zone where he can kill you. That's the reason for the 21 foot rule. It wasn't pulled out of a hat. Studies were made and defense from the threat was established. The officer wasn't a coward, he was trained very well and as a result, he is alive.
If you think you can do better, leave your phone number so people that need help can call you. Coward!!!! -
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 5:40pmchips1
studies… HA! Yeah, just like them global warming studies
still a coward
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 7:40pmHey Lando, You dumb@aa Read Edged weapons, that is the study being discussed here. I do not specificall agree with the 21 ft rule but if you would bother to educate yourself rather than run your ignorant mouth, you would see what is being discussed.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 8:33pmmountainb:
I don't care what the "studies" show. Studies that exist to protect trigger happy cops who are afraid of a knife or a pen or any other sharp object 20 feet away. I will just use common sense. And thanks for the personal insults… right in line with the liberal and progressive tactics. Bravo mountainb! Bravo!
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:17pmI agree with JEDNAVIRA, he has only seconds and to shoot him 11 times! Maybe he didn't have any more in the gun. But when you shoot you shoot to kill. It's not like a cowboy movie… He did the right thing…

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:45pmOur troops can't even do that in Afghanistan. ROE's require the enemy to be attempting to shoot at them, then you can engage.
A tad bit over reaction imo.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:28pmWhat a crock. "When you shoot you shoot to kill". What BS. Maybe that is how cowards that like to murder people think, but human beings shoot to neutralize a threat. Some military operations require that you shoot to kill, because the mission is that important. But, to have civilian-yes, civilian cops, they are civilians, they are NOT military, adopt/encourage shooting to kill SOPs, that is over the line. These shootings are not happening by accident. They are to instill fear in the populace, to scare them into standing down. It is part of a nation-wide psy-op.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:15pmMaybe if that guy had a hand grenade in his hand ,shoot him 50 times,but come on a little old knife …might have been a lite saber,,, Look all open area ,daylight,,, not in a conner,,,

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:15pmi think the officer acted way too quickly to give a command and then fire directly behind it. But I don't know and can't tell from the video was he in a position to lunge at the cop. In either case I side with family 11 rounds were necessary perhap police should start carrying 12 gauges it's always one and done

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:29pmTIME, From the earliest times that I decided to get into law enforcement, that was a growing question. You gotta keep in mind that probably still 99% if not more police officers never fire a shot in a combat situation. When put in a dangerous situation studies have shown most officers will empty their weapons. Its part of a fear factor that essentially cannot be trained out of them. I recall a class back in the mid '80s with a film of reenacted traffic stop. The drive told the trooper that he was on his way to the airport and his wallet was in a bag in his trunk. The guy opened his truck and pulled a revolver from inside and as he was bringing it up to point at the trooper, he slapped at the man's arm while drawing his service revolver. The trooper in the film said that as back rolled up on him he was still pointing his .357 at the perp on the ground and that he was still pulling the trigger. It scared the crap out of this veteran trooper and he went into a tunnel vision scenario. As a former cop myself I know to do whatever a cop tells me and be as nonaggressive as I can be. In fact, be as passive and accommodating as possible. My former dept has had such a turn over in personnel since I left twelve years ago, that I keep in mind that so many do not know me from Adam's cat. I will comply and if necessary a dumbass can be sued later.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:43pmTime2, Knowing you, you would have shot him once in the head and then taken down the threatening lady. If you are going to shoot make them count.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:00pmRJJ. I knew you would get the "essence" of my statement (my sarc aside).. and as always your background and experience in that arena lends a certain credibility that I can't possibly put into words from a Law Enforcement standpoint.
CIRCLED. I took care of "screaming lady" without firing a shot at her. Lol.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:20pmTIME, Well, don't take me the wrong way. I certainly do not advocate multiple firing at an individual. They gave us this training in hopes that it would help to avoid such shootings. Comparing a soldier in a combat zone surrounded by potential danger at all times, a police office is out dealing with what one would hope is the law abiding citizenry. Totally different mindset, then when something like this happens the adrenalin goes off like a fire hydrant. Furthermore I do not say any of this as an excuse. Hopefully some understanding. Oh yeah, there are those say that this perp was just armed with a knife. Its amazing how much ground a knife armed person can cover in a split second. I was originally taught to use the least amount of force necessary, but to keep my mind, eyes, and ears open at all times.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:42pmLatinos are known for being viscious with a knife. Many have been born and raised in countries where guns are scarce or outlawed. The knife is the next step down. Big, small, whatever. But, a knife wielding, strong man can do lethal damage in mere seconds. Do NOT hesitate to shoot somebody that has a knife in their hands and looking at you with a crazed look on their face. Drop them immediately. The cop had the better view of the perp. And, he knew the goons "habits", better than all of us put together. Maybe the guy liked to cut people up and the cop knew he would engage him. But, the cop will walk like crazy.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:10pmAfter watching this video several times I determined this is best left to Internal Affairs; though, it seems IA already voted in the officers favor. I have had dealings with IA, and they do a very thorough job in deciding cases like excessive force, and cases like the one above.
Being an officer myself, I cannot make any judgement call. I cannot do that because this does not appear to give the full story, we do not know what that officer was told by dispatch, nor do we know if the victim had prior convictions other then domestic violence. However, it must also be said that domestic violence calls are some of the most dangerous for officers.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:24pmThe ******* cop emptied his magazine into a man ON THE GROUND, and you need more facts?
That cop should be fired. I hope the man's family sues him in civil court, at least, for everything he has and every will have!
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:56pmRoid and crack user on the ground? One shot doesn't keep them down they get back up and if they have a weapon they KILL YOU. Many drug users don't feel pain when they're high they're invincible and no mother F****** cop is going to kill them. So yes when your in a hostile situation and you think you see a weapon you don't shoot YOU KILL. I'll admit this cop probably was never in a situation where he had to shoot before, with panic and a possible weapon I'm not surprised he fired everything. If you were honest you'd do it too if you thought you'd be killed otherwise.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 9:12pm@JEZCRUZEN – Have you ever been on a domestic violence call, have you had to deal with this type of person on a day-to-day basis? I have, you are quick to point the finger at something you do not know all the facts on. Also he was not on the ground when the officer started to fire, granted, I must admit he did fire to many shots, but when your adrenaline is pumping and you are in fear for your life not always can humans go by the book. That is a human flaw, and by your post, it seems to me you have plenty.
Posted on December 14, 2012 at 11:22amFor someone who defends ruthless behavior for a lack of facts, you sure do draw unfactual conclusions regarding me. Here's a fact for you… you don't know **** about me or what I've done!
Here's another fact… the man's foot was caught in his trucks seatbelt when he attempted to get out. At least that it what is reported in the story. So what did the cop do? Why.. he emptied his mag into the guy! I know someone who spent fives years in the pen because they shot someone six times rather than just once. The cop should be fired!
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:09pmits hard to tell in the video if he had anything, he did kind of jump out of that vehicle strangly though…

the officer was VERY quick with the trigger too, very quick…-
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:22pmBS. The officer has only moments to make a life changing decision. He does not have the benefit of being able to pause the action and rewind and try to get a closer look at the suspect or what the suspect might be holding. The officer has to protect his own life while attempting to take the suspect into custody.
No, I'm not a cop. I'll tell you this though, if I hear a cop say "Get your hands in the air! Get on the ground now!" and that's followed with "Or I'll shoot you!", I don't care what is stuck on what, I'm going limp and getting my hands in the air. I've had officers nearly pull their firearm on me enough times to know that I do NOT want to get shot. This guy reached down (we find out now that his foot was stuck) after being told that if he didn't get his hands in the air, he was going to get shot. Get your hands in the air and let yourself fall over. I'd rather get hurt falling over with my arms widespread then get shot to death because I felt the need to get unstuck before listening to the officer.
If this guy had done exactly what I just described and the officer had still shot him, I might have a different opinion. For all this officer knew, the suspect was grabbing a knife (even the family attorney says it was an object consistent with the shape of a knife) and was going to come at him with it. The officer is justified.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:08pmThe guy should not have moved.. got out slow with hands up at 31 seconds, the guy jumps out, the goes back into the vehicle to retrieve something.. at that point it would have taken only 1 second for the guy to turn and shoot at the officer. What was he going for in the truck. There would be no question for me, this was justified. Maybe the number of shots were excessive, but 7 shots and your still not on the ground?

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 5:53pmThe article states his foot was found tangled in the seatbelt. When he reached down he was trying to free himself. In most places this is not punishable by death.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 6:18pmIf your going to judge the decision for the cop to continue shooting because the guy wasn't yet on the ground, one might want to at least take the time to let gravity work. Those trigger pulls sounded like an M-16 in full auto. What concerns me as well (and yes this is arm chair quarterbacking) is I would suggest the cop had no way of observing a weapon BEFORE he began yelling "drop the knife". Perhaps he has learned (since everyone has a dashcam and audio now days) that no matter what if you draw you gun you play for the camera in case you go to court. "see judge, I clearly thought I saw a weapon, I was yelling at him to put it down." CYA. My training says deadly force is only authorized as a last resort, and should be based on "equal force" necessary to protect life. I think I might have pulled the trigger on this guy, he was jerking around enough there is no way you could rule out he was going for a gun or not. But I am confident I would not have emptied an entire 13 round magazine in 4 seconds. That is just stupid. I would not want this cop as a partner or a backup.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:04pmA good rule to follow is to cooperate fully with the police. Move carefully with your hands up and empty. And do not make any smartalec remarks. The police are are on high alert when they make an arrest, so it is good to try making a calm atmosphere.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:02pmHard call. I've seen things were the police are obviously abusing their power. If this man truly believed he had a knife and was a danger I don't think it is murder. But he was wrong and should in no way continue to be a police officer. It is a shame that this happened, not the first time and not the last.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 2:57pmWhy don't we let the departmental internal affairs people do their job and cease with all of this armchair quater-backing by asking the public for their opinion on situations that most of us haven't been trained for.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 10:05pmYes by all means, lets allow the murder suspect to perform the autopsy.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 11:33pmBecause the police are not tustworthy.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 2:57pmyea best not to move if a police officer has a gun pointed at you

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 2:57pmThe officer reacted too quickly I'm not saying he shouldn't have reacted by giving the suspect a chance to drop the knife as it stands now the office said drop the knife and open fire a second later.

Posted on December 13, 2012 at 3:09pmThis officer did exactly as he was trained. The problem with your statement that the officer didn't give the suspect time to drop the knife is not a good one. There is a "thing" called the "21 foot rule." Research has shows an average human holding a knife with average skill and average speed standing 21 feet from you can close that distance of 21 feet and plunge a knife into you before you are able to discharge your firearm. The officer should have shot him 1. if he had a knife and 2. if he felt deadly force was justified to protect himself or a third party from death, serious bodily injury, and/or a forcible felony.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 4:24pmJEDNARVA… the (21 foot rule) applies to a suspect with knife in hand, advancing against an officer without his weapon drawn. The Victim in this case, did not advance, and was facing an armed and ready officer. This was Murder.
Posted on December 13, 2012 at 5:21pmHCARTEXAS:
Incorrect. The officer knew the person and called him by name. With those tattoos, he was probably in jail at some point. Are you aware what they do in jail? They practice practice practice on how to overcome law enforcement officers. It doesn't matter if he is just patting you down, they practice how to overpower an officer. These are fully trained criminals and most jails are just schools for becoming more dangerous. Open your eyes to the real world. It's a jungle out there.

text: The emerging cease-fire is reminiscent of the one brokered by Abbas a year and a half ago when he became the first Palestinian prime minister. He got Islamic terror groups to agree to a truce back then, but it only lasted 60 days. By nature, any Mideast cease-fire will be fragile. For instance, if Israel raids a bomb factory or kills a suspected suicide bomber, the truce could collapse. There was one such incident today. Israeli troops uncovered a bomb-making facility in Palestinian-ruled Nablus, containing 25 kilos (55 pounds) of explosives and three suicide bomb belts.

Ok, I'll walk by Faith and look forward to seeing each my readers this Thursday once again between the hours of 7pm and 8pm.
The gift of giving
Toys for grannies … HELP! HELP! HELP!
I'm speechless and a little confused, but I'm keeping the faith that somebody, anybody, everybody, even the precious one that feels like a nobody, will stop by the In Touch for Christ Christian Center, 969 E. 140th St. (Off St. Clair Ave directly across the street from the Job Corps Campus in the heart of the Collinwood Community) this Thursday, Dec. 22, between the hours of 7pm-8pm and drop off toys for grannies.
In last week's Bishop Speaks column, I asked each of you, my faithful readers, to assist this In Touch Ministry Team with toys for beautiful, precious grandmothers taking care of their grandchildren. These grandmothers on a fixed income with no assistance from the "system," instead of sitting down and enjoying their last years on earth, have taken on the responsibility of looking out for their children's children.
One grandmother at seventy one years old has two grandchildren, which seems to have given her more life for living even longer. These grandmothers, don't have transportation, can't get out like they want and often have to have someone go shopping for them to the grocery store, yet they are handling their business taking care of these precious grandchildren.
Last Saturday, as the children were in rehearsal for their Christmas play, the staff, and parents waited to receive toys with wrapping paper, tape and hot chocolate ready for our visitors. Last Saturday, between the hours of 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., only two individuals showed up with toys! This wonderful mother, along with her daughter, has been following me for years and I enjoyed meeting them, taking pictures with them and thanking God for the beautiful toys they brought. But more toys are needed for these precious grandchildren. I also thank another individual who mailed out Five Dollars with a note saying, "For grannies, buy a toy."
Ok, I'll walk by Faith and look forward to seeing each my readers this Thursday once again between the hours of 7pm and 8pm.
Remember, "Jesus is the Reason for this Season."
Merry Christmas to each of you!
You can e-mail the bishop at firstname.lastname@example.com. Write him at

This morning on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Vice President Cheney about his now infamous June 2004 exchange with Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT), when he told Leahy to "f*ck yourself." Cheney confirmed that he used the obscenity, saying, "I thought he merited it at the time":
WALLACE: Did you tell Senator Leahy, "bleep yourself"?
CHENEY: I did.
WALLACE: Any qualms, second thoughts, or embarrassment?
CHENEY: No, I thought he merited it at the time and we've since patched over that wound.
Later in the program, Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol remarked that he thought Cheney's comments represented "a beautiful statement, really, of justice." "Dick Cheney is going out defending justice in the end," Kristol concluded. Watch a compilation:

The Artist, Tinker Tailor win Attenboroughs
by Naman Ramachandran
03/02/2012 - The Artist [trailer] and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy [trailer] continued their golden awards run at the sixth annual Richard Attenborough UK Regional Film Awards. The Artist won Film Of The Year and Filmmaker for director Michel Hazanavicius.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy won British Film Of The Year, Screenwriter for Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan and for Gary Oldman the British Film Star award. Michael Fassbender won Actor for Shame [trailer] and Meryl Streep Actress for The Iron Lady [trailer]. Tom Hiddleston won the Rising Star award for his performances in Thor, War Horse, The Deep Blue Sea and Midnight In Paris [trailer]. Arthur Christmas won Animated Film and The Adventures Of Tintin Family Film.
Hazanavicius said, "It's such an amazing honour to be recognised by the regional film critics in the UK. On behalf of all the people who made The Artist, I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And on a personal note, I'd like to say I'm so very proud because I absolutely love British cinema!"
Streep said, "I'm honoured to receive this award, which comes from the heart of the UK and its regional press, an entity that remembers Margaret Thatcher very well, and that I'm sure aimed a keen lens at this portrayal. I owe everything to my director Phyllida Lloyd, a courageous visionary, and Abi Morgan, who wrote a screenplay that imagined that an old woman's thoughts and feelings were as important as her important, younger self. This was an unconventional and controversial approach to a famous life, but one that will stand through the many cycles of historical revisionism, and hold its value as the story of a human being and her reckoning with time."

Desire is all-pervasive – it exists in us at all times. We either indulge or suppress it, but few of us understand it. Let me explain desire – true desire.
Gautama Buddha said that desire is suffering. I can agree to this only if I extrapolate on it – to desire is to suffer, but only when you do not know how to desire. The monk may have sold his Ferrari, but how did he acquire it in the first place? The sequel – 'I Bought The Monk's Ferrari' – tells us that to renounce something, you first have to possess it.
I believe in the goodness of desire and affirm its importance. In today's world, where the social, economical and political milieu demands that we keep up with the Joneses or get morally battered by them, it is important to pursue our desires. However, we must do so intelligently, resourcefully and esoterically. An accomplished exponent of Tantra can show the right way to pursue one's desires. Welcome to my world.
It is important to understand our desires and not deny or suppress them. We must allow our desires to reach the very peak of their urgency before satiating them. Tantra propounds that desire in itself is not a sin. There is no such thing as shameful desire – however, the intention behind that desire may be sinful and shameful for mortal beings.
We must never forget that everyone exists in this world for a reason. To find our purpose is our life's primary objective – the next is to fulfil it. Living without understanding our purpose is futile.
Desires are integral to our being. To deny them is to deny a large part of our essential being. Life is meant to be a celebration – and enjoyment of what Tantra calls 'Charmananda' (the eternal orgasm). An accomplished Tantric exponent can lead you to it.
Hope. Hope is what sustains us, even though there are no guarantees in life. The Tantric master offers you exactly what you need. The uninitiated initially find it difficult to understand the nature and promise of Tantra. However, the Tantra master has a deep comprehension of a timeless scientific art.
The teacher of Tantra practises these all his life and has experienced the immense benefits first-hand. He does not sell pipe dreams – he offers a tried and tested gift – the gift of unlimited potential and consciousness.
The various Tantra courses we offer can be customised to individual needs. The customized Tantra course includes all aspects the student's consciousness needs – kriyas, mudras, meditation, theory, etc. However, it will put greatest emphasis on the practical application of all these in the student's daily life.
A great thought serves little purpose if it does not positively impact one's life. Most seekers of Tantric truth fall by the wayside because they cannot reconcile their esoteric practices in their daily lives. As a Tantra teacher, it is my mission to help my students incorporate their newfound knowledge into mainstream life, thereby transforming their lives into a continuous explosion of 'Charmananda'.
No, desire is not evil. Everything in life is worth acquiring provided that we understand the desired object's rightful place in our life. Understanding the right way to cater to and fulfil our desires is vital. Ironically, though we have all the technological conveniences of modern life, we have lost the essence of life itself. Our ancestors had a firm grasp on this essence – now, Tantra will help you re-acquire your rightful love for life!

Lauren thought Uncle Mike was really neat. She loved it when someone other than her was being teased.
Before Uncle Mike could stir his coffee, Lauren was close at his side. "Uncle Mike," she said, "I have a problem." "Another one?" he said. "Tell me, what is the problem this time?"
"I'm worried about Christmas," she said. And Uncle Mike responded, "Don't worry about it, Lauren. Christmas always arrives on time."
"No, no, Uncle Mike, I'm not worried about it that way. I have a real problem. We can't find our manger and we can't find the statue of the Baby Jesus. What should we do?"
Father sensed the urgency in Lauren's voice and with a dose of seriousness inquired. "Lauren," he said, "how do you know the manger is lost? Maybe it's hidden under something in the attic."
"No, Uncle Mike," she said. "My brothers searched everywhere and it is missing. It really is missing. "
Lauren showed her alarm. "Uncle Mike, Jesus had special clothes. If we don't find the statue, my Mom will be sad, too. I know you will figure out what to do, Uncle Mike."
That comment about the clothes tripped Uncle Mike's memory, as the clothes belonged to his grandfather.
"Oh," said Uncle Mike, "Now that is a problem. Let me think for a moment, Lauren."
"Okay, Uncle Mike, I knew you would know what to do." Lauren looked at her Mom and said: "See, Mom. I told you Uncle Mike would help."
Meanwhile, Uncle Mike had a dilemma. While he pondered an answer, Lauren's Mom, went upstairs to recheck the attic, while Lauren's Dad trekked down to the basement in search of the missing manger and statue.
Lauren's older brother Bobby, was still at home. As she saw him getting ready to leave, she ran into the living room and pleaded: "Bobby, before you go out, could you look in the garage one more time? We have to find the manger. It's almost Christmas."
To Lauren's surprise, Bobby agreed. Usually, Lauren's requests were completely ignored by her brothers.
While everyone else searched, Lauren kept Uncle Mike company. She began to tell her Uncle Mike all about her trip to see Santa. At just about the time Lauren started to tell him about the lady, her mother came back into the room
She had the manger in her hands.
Lauren's Mom found the manger in a little corner of the attic under a neatly stacked pile of cardboard boxes that was covered by a large sheet. The boxes had all been marked "Halloween decorations."
No one, however, could find the Baby Jesus. Lauren looked at her Uncle Mike and said: "What do we do now Uncle Mike?"
"Lauren, we'll find a statue for you. There's still time before Christmas," Uncle Mike replied,
Lauren remained fretful about the special clothes for their statue. Uncle Mike again comforted her and explained that somehow the problem would sort itself out.
As her Uncle Mike was about to leave, Lauren's Mom asked if he would have time to drop by on Christmas Eve to see the tree after it was decorated.
Uncle Mike told her that he had a pretty busy schedule. He related that he had promised the new parishioner he had visited earlier that he would visit her on Christmas Eve.
Uncle Mike pointed out that the lady had just moved into the area and that she lived all alone. He revealed that her husband had died about ten years ago and that their only child died when he was an infant.
Lauren was still sitting at the table as her Uncle discussed the poor widow. She looked up and said: " Uncle Mike, that is so sad. Is she really all alone?"
"Yes, Lauren," he replied. "The lady lives all by herself and she is sometimes very lonely."
"What is her name?" asked Lauren. "I' will say a prayer for her and ask Jesus to make sure she has a Merry Christmas."
"Her name is Mrs. Irondale," said Uncle Mike. "She lives into the little house on the corner across from the church. She used to live in South Carolina near Beaufort. That's where your Uncle Joe was stationed when he was in the Marine Corps. She's still settling in and hasn't adjusted to the cold weather."
Uncle Mike had hardly finished his sentence when Lauren gleamed and yelled: "Mom, Uncle Mike knows Mrs. Irondale. Now I know why Mrs. Irondale was so sad. Can we invite her to spend Christmas Day with us?"
Lauren became more excited as she told her Uncle Mike how she met Mrs. Irondale earlier in the day. Uncle Mike laughed and declared it was the same Mrs. Irondale. He had seen the red hat, while he visited her.
Lauren's mother suggested that Mrs. Irondale might not want to spend Christmas with strangers.
"What do you think, Father? Should we invite Mrs. Irondale to spend Christmas with us?"
Uncle Mike pondered. He silently decided it was a great idea.
This was exactly what Mrs. Irondale needed to cheer her up. All the while, Lauren stood there speechless, tugging at his side, awaiting his reply.
"I think it is a marvelous idea," exclaimed Uncle Mike. "Mrs. Irondale would really enjoy it, if we can convince her to come."
"Can I call her Uncle Mike, or can you take me over to her house?" "Sure!" Uncle Mike agreed. He decided to call Mrs. Irondale immediately.
After a few rings, Mrs. Irondale answered her telephone. Father Flood explained how it was his niece whom she had met earlier that day. He said that he and Lauren wanted to come over and formally invite her to spend Christmas with her family.
The phone became silent. Mrs. Irondale began to shed a few tears. After regaining her composure, Mrs. Irondale told Father Flood she would be pleased to receive the invitation.
A short while later, at about eight thirty, Lauren and Uncle Mike, arrived at Mrs. Irondale's house. Mrs. Irondale invited them inside. "Hello Father Flood. Welcome to my home, Lauren."
Lauren was all aglow.

Haïti-Police-Strike: mesures disciplinaires prévues contre les grévistes
- Tuesday, 24 Avril, 2012 14:28
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haïti (defend.ht) - Le ministre de la Justice et de la Sécurité publique, Michel Brunache, et le Directeur général de la Police nationale d'Haïti, Mario Andrésol (photo), a évoqué la possibilité de sanctionner la grève de la police de 23 avril dans le cadre des principes de l'éthique.
Michel Brunache told the press that "if police officers were involved in the troubles of Monday, I regret I'll have to take disciplinary action against them."
The Minister of Justice resigned "assured his support to the High Command of the National Police for all legal and regulatory measures to return to calm" in a note dated April 23.
The Director General of the National Police of Haiti, Mario Andresol, for his part, disagreed the strike of his troops who mourn one of their comrades killed.
"We will not accept any deviant behavior," insisted the chief executive of the National Police of Haiti outraged by the strike Monday of the various units of the police institution. Law and internal regulations governing the Police force, he said, do not allow the strike and protest. "It is not the right way to do things. I want the police to get back to work," commented Andrésol who returns to office after several months of convalescence from a surgery.
Some sectors that Mario Andresol has not indexed would be behind the movement of police causing a confusing situation in the country. "This is how the Armed Forces of Haiti had been dismantled. They have been infiltrated by the manipulators, "said the former officer of disbanded army.
A group of police officers observed a work stoppage throughout the day April 23 in protest against the assassination of their colleague Walky Calixte killed while driving his car on the road to Martissant April 17, 2012.
Brothers in arms and the victim's relatives suspect the Deputy Sejour Rodriguez of masterminding the crime.
In a press note, the MP presented his sympathies to the bereaved relatives of the police and says that he is involved in this case.
