    The only sense to be made of it is that it is a product of the culture in the inner city. Arguments, disagreements and ‘disrespect’ are routinely countered with targeted ‘spray and pray’ gunfire. Conflict resolution and simply walking away might as well be an alien language in many parts of our city.

    When I was a trooper working in rural counties, I recognized that I had the good fortune of dealing with a lot of decent people who couldn't or wouldn't drive well. We had our bad spots in the county, but that wasn't a day in, day out for us or the deputies. I can still remember a handful of families in Montgomery County who were terrible people raising terrible people.

    I respect those in IMPD working the areas where the culture has gotten that bad. I grew up on the far east side, and it is nothing like it once was.

    Didn’t want to quote your post because it sucks bad enough. That affidavit has me rethinking “red flag” laws, as this PROBABLY wasn’t the first contact. Sucks that a young person in Blue Lost their life, and it’s worse that there are little ones involved. I will MOST DEFINITELY defy stay at home to send this brave young lady on to Valhalla. Sorry for your loss, and her family’s loss.:(

    Her patrol car is on display at the East District Roll Call site (201 N Shadeland/Old East Gate Mall) until thursday if anyone wants to pay their respects. Unfortunately, because of this stupid pandemic, the public is not allowed up to the car to decorate it with flowers and such. The car is on the south side of the building. If you have flowers or something you want to leave on the car, you can probably ask one of the officers on site to place it on the car, or PM me and I might be able to.

    Edit: Sorry, it looks like you have to remain in your vehicle. It's a drive by style tribute to her vehicle.

    Ridiculous. Unless they are worried about her patrol car catching the virus. This is getting ridiculous when you cant even be trusted to social distance outdoors.

    She won't get the send off she deserves because of the lock down. Best way to show support is to donate to the trust fund. I know first hand what a loss of a Mom does to kids ... I'm just sick to my soul. Part of me wants to grab a sledge hammer and show the piece trash just how many bones a body has ...
