Always remember the name Will Johnson. Keep Will Johnson at the top so this can all be remembered later. Officer was attacked by the teen who DROVE HIS CAR THROUGH THE GLASS INTO THE DEALERSHIP. Get real.

Chief has opened city to Million $ litigation.

I chased a bad guy off one time with a firearm. An officer showed and asked if my property was worth someone’s life. I said that was something the bad guy ought to think about. He asked what about my life. I told him I believed if someone could take property from me at will I was no more than a slave and we supposedly fought a war over that. I do not believe the civil war was solely or even primarily over that but I do believe it is better to be dead than to live under tyranny.

Shoot an unarmed Iraqi or Afghan?
Probably a court martial. Maybe even jail.

FNC ran clips of the perp stomping on windshields in the dealership where he was shot.
