    If you've ever been unsure of the process just follow the Police shooting of Eric Logan early last Sunday morning. The South Bend Tribune and most all Michiana media for that matter has done a fine job of portraying the man caught allegedly breaking into cars at 03:30 and then advancing upon the policeman with knife prior to being shot as one loved by all that knew him while digging up 8 year old supposedly racist statements made by the officer as implication the officer ignored the humanity of his actions. Guilt and innocence will take a back seat to the civil suit surely to follow. The outcome will make the west side whole again.....

    I'll wait on the tox tests to come back on that one. Allegedly, the officer had a laceration on his arm when the suspect threw it at him.

    Most of the shootings here are not police related. There are shooting almost daily here and very few arrested because no one talks. It's like little Chicago here. Sooner or later, someone will tag Mayor Pete for that and police department phone tap recordings with allegedly racist comments being suppressed and.... May happen in the press but more likely in the debates by one or more of his fellow dems.

    Plenty to read about here with links to more in the story about body cams, Petey pissed off, etc: https://www.southbendtribune.com/ne...cle_90eada12-785e-59ae-b7a7-159b409f66f4.html

    This news article seems to have the most facts:

    https://www.wndu.com/content/news/S...aid-leave-after-fatal-shooting-511387661.html

    Multiple calls of cars being broken into around 3:30 am.

    Officer sees citizen in car, asks if it's his car. Not considered perp until approaches officer with knife in hand and pink purse visible on person, per officer's account.

    Knife and purse, both identified as being stolen from other cars around the area found at shooting scene.

    Fires only twice (presumably because perp closes 7.5 feet distance from officer). Immediately reports shots fired and requests ambulance. Other officers arrive at scene within 11 seconds, one of which transports the wounded perp to hospital, arriving 2 minutes later. (my guess, got him to the hospital before the ambulance even arrived at the shooting scene.)

    I see NOTHING that contradicts the officer's account. Mayor Pete handling this in a disgustingly political (and racial) fashion.

    There's a long video here. It's the family, the mayor, and police chief surrounded by black lives matter and a white activist who seems to be running the circus. I think Meyor Pete is appeasing them for the sake of damage control. The officer will probably get thrown under the bus for the sake of his campaign. Meyor Pete may even get some votes. He already has Eric Logan's vote.

    Bout time lil Petie grow up and come to the realization angry mobs aren't interested in rational dialogue. They come to see heads roll regardless of guilt or innocence and won't be appeased until. This entire scenario will unfortunately for the citizens of South Bend take far longer to play out due to the supposed Presidential contender amongst them. Believe I just read Indiana BLM will be in the Bend July 13th.

    I am surprised Pete hasn't suggested pulling all police off the street for one week of sensitivity training. I'm sure that week won't turn into a full Mad Max live.

    Oh you mean the intercultural development inventory test ?? It's already being tossed about and the woman who's promoting the concept is willing to administer it at a cost of only $40 per officer.

    [h=1]Family of man killed by South Bend officer files lawsuit[/h]SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The family of a 54-year-old man fatally shot by a officer is suing the officer and the city of South Bend.

    Eric Logan’s relatives filed the lawsuit Wednesday in federal court. It accuses Sgt. Ryan O’Neill of using excessive deadly force when he shot Logan on June 16. The lawsuit also names the city of South Bend as a defendant but does not name Buttigieg.



    Prosecutors say O’Neill was responding to a report of a person breaking into cars when he confronted Logan. O’Neill said he shot Logan after he refused orders to drop a knife. The shooting wasn’t recorded because O’Neill didn’t turn his body camera on.

    We are hearing this everywhere now.
    The police should not have done that to that very wonderful person.
    That is until it happen to the preacher.
    Then it is WHY did the police let that person back on the street.

    HuffPo: South Bend Officer Who Fatally Shot Black Man Had History Of Racist Comments: Report
    https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sout...racism-allegations_n_5d09163fe4b0f7b74427a997

    Police Chief Scott Ruszkowski acknowledged in his deposition that O’Neill had been removed from his position as a field training officer due to allegations of racism, but added that O’Neill had passed a polygraph test relating to the allegation.


    A spokesman for the South Bend Police Department told HuffPost that Newton’s testimony was just one of several during an internal affairs investigation and added: “The assertions presented were determined to be ‘not sustained’ at the conclusion of the investigation.”

    Ummm... allegations, which were investigated, and not sustained. So, even though there was an investigation, and polygraph, which cleared him of making those statements... now he has a history of making racist/derogatory statements? smh
