    I'm putting this in the political section ( which I usually avoid) because I'm curious as to how this will be spun once the facts come out. I would say I wonder how mayor Pete will spin it but I think that's a given.

    Currently I know no facts other than what the article says. I know where the bar is but couldn't tell you what the neighborhood is like. Was it gang related? Lovers quarrel gone bad? Guess we wait and see.

    What !

    I was told SB was a Socialist utopian hang out?
    It was said on CNN and MSNBC that Mayor Peter took charge and cleaned up the crime and had the trains running on time!

    The facts
    1. SB has a higher crime rate than most of the state
    2. SB has a higher unemployment rate than the state average
    3. SB has a higher poverty rate than the state average

    This crime story and the other shooting will cause Mayor Peter to lay low for a week or so the spring back on the National stage as a proud son of a Communist.

    Most definitely gang related. This was no random shooting. Many of the wounded, and their friends and family, have been shot before. I don't know everything yet, but it appears to be a targeted shooting, either at an individual, or at the group.

    We almost had a riot last night at Memorial Hospital. It took a combined effort of over 40 police officers from SBPD, St. Joe County PD, Roseland PD, Pokagon PD, and Memorial Hospital PD to hold off over 100 angry people trying to get into the hospital. I left work at 11:00 PM, and was called back in at 3:00 AM to help with crowd control. It was intense.

    Gotta love the media. Tossing this in the story despite it having absolutely nothing to do with this shooting.

    The incident comes a week after the fatal shooting of a black man by a white police officer in South Bend. Eric Logan, 54, was shot by Sgt. Ryan O’Neill, a 19-year veteran of the department. O'Neill was responding to reports of someone breaking into cars downtown when he encountered Logan, who was allegedly armed with a knife, authorities said.

    BLM staged a protest march downtown for the multiple time convicted felon who broke into 6 cars, stole a knife, ran at a cop with the knife, threw the knife at the cop, and got shot by the police.

    So I'm wondering when BLM will march about this incident where 10 black people were shot. I'm not holding my breath...

    BL's only M when white cops shoot them apparently.

    More than half that "news story" dealt with nothing directly related to the story. Sounds like they had a word count to meet to get the sensational headline out there and just decided to fill it with this to keep on narrative to me. I'd appreciate it more if they just stuck to the relevant facts, but of course, that would have possibly been about 10 words or less in that article.

    Wow, Chicago Tribune even did a better job reporting the OIS.

    https://www.chicagotribune.com/poli...0190621-piuezz7vvjgo7csadkbnwpzfi4-story.html

    Authorities offered the following account: O’Neill approached a vehicle after seeing the legs of a man hanging out from an open driver’s side door. Logan emerged with a purse in his clothing, refused orders to drop a knife and raised the weapon as he approached O’Neill. The officer fired two shots as he backed away, one of which struck Logan in the right front abdomen.
    O’Neill called for an ambulance but then allowed another officer to transport Logan to the hospital in a squad car, authorities said. Neither O’Neill’s body camera nor his police dashboard camera recorded the shooting, authorities said. O’Neill suffered a forearm injury from the knife, which became airborne after Logan was shot, authorities said.

    None of the local news said anything about the officer suffering an injury from the knife. I feel like that's pretty important information.

    Someone should email the link to the story you referenced to the author of the original story from the original post to show them how a news story should include some actual facts.

    And notice how they didn't include anything about race. Freaking Chicago Tribune reports our own news better, and leaves race out of it. I'm thoroughly shocked.

    Mayor Pete checks all the appropriate boxes as far as big media are concerned. Like religious absolution, they will wash anything in his past clean. I'll just be curious to see how his opponents in the primary go after him. It will be interesting to see how soft balled and orchestrated the coming debate will be.

    Wish I could see my nose in the air, “Southbend is a beautiful city and perfectly safe”, check all the “woke” boxes neighbors in my old temporary apartment building now?


    ETA: **** no I don’t that would mean having to go back to that ****hole third world city.

    CPT Nervous,
    Stay safe I could imagine getting overwhelmed quickly in a mob rule situation.

    I am sure Mayor Peter will take care of the problem!

    Thanks, Brad.

    I anticipate that it's going to get much worse before anything gets better, if it gets better.

    When the announcement is made that the SBPD officer was justified in his actions, South Bend is going to turn into Ferguson.

    And the gang warfare is ramping up. Usually it takes a whole week to get 12 shooting victims. We got that in one night. It's turning into a warzone.

    Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate, pulled himself from the campaign trail Friday to attend a march in South Bend. Buttigieg engaged with activists in front of police headquarters ahead of the march, who voiced a number of concerns, including that the officer involved in the shooting did not have his body camera on at the time.


    Well, there you go. Siding with the knife wielding felon followers against the police.

    I was SHOCKED to read that.
