Gunmen Identified In Murder Of (Kansas City) Police Captain
Law Officer ^ | July 22, 2016

Posted on 07/23/2016 9:44:06 AM PDT by Zakeet

Two men are being held in connection with the fatal shooting of a Kansas City, KS police captain, KCTV5 has learned.

Prosecutor Jerome Gorman says Jamaal Lewis and Daqon Sipple, the men in jail in connection with Capt. Robert Melton's death, may not be charged until Thursday. Police say they are not looking for any other suspects at this time.

Lewis, 20, was booked late Tuesday night in Wyandotte County jail on first-degree murder. Sipple, 18, was booked hours earlier on aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and use of a deadly weapon.

KCTV5 spoke to Clarette Monroe, the mother of Lewis.

She says don't rush to judgment yet.

"He's not a bad kid," Monroe said. "He's hanging out with a rough crowd. He has no record and has never been arrested. People should not rush to judgment. Don't do that."

Jalelisa Sipple, the sister of Daqon Sipple, also spoke to KCTV5. She echoed Monroe's comments.

"The only thing I want people to know is that the picture that's being painted is not actually him," she said. "Which is what most people know, everybody that knows him knows that he's not that kind of kid."

KCTV5 examined Lewis' and Sipple's backgrounds. Searches in Kansas and Missouri revealed clean records. However, juvenile records are sealed.

Police said there was a drive-by shooting at Second Street and Edgerton Road about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and officers responded. Melton found both the suspects at 22nd Street and Haskell Avenue about 2 p.m.

Before Melton could get out of his vehicle, someone opened fire through his window, hitting Melton several times, Zeigler said.

“Don’t chu knows? Posin’ for d’ camera and taking a bad-ass mug shot increased dey street cred, sheeeeeei+!”

Too bad they’re never going to be “on the street” again.

Some reporter ought to look them up in about 40 years and ask them if they still think they’re hot sh!t.

The STANDARDS of behavior inside the BLM group is certainly about 180 degrees from what I was raised with.

Robbing a convenience store ‘because the kid needed money for cigarettes——ad nauseum-— “He didn’t do nuffin wrong”.....

4. Sipple has a Juvenile Rap Sheet with Battery, Theft & Disorderly Conduct
The Kansas City Star reports Sipple had four prior convictions as a juvenile, according to Wyandotte County court records. The charges included a 2013 case where he pleaded guilty to battery on a school employee, a disorderly conduct charge in 2010 and prosecuted for theft in 2009.”””
If my math is correct:

in 2009, this creep was 11 and he was prosecuted for theft........

in 2010, he was 12 and was prosecuted for disorderly conduct....

in 2013 he was 15 & was prosecuted for attacking a school employee.

He is now 18 & is accused of participating in killing a veteran police officer.

He is beyond useless.

The women in these sociopath’s lives need to stop making excuses for them.

Both Hyenas are just doing what nature lets Hyanas do. That is why when Hyenas like these two get in the system, we close the zoo door and never let them out again. Ever. Hyenas like this need to spend their entire lives locked in a zoo, not out in free society.

Lock them up and throw away the key.

Maybe it says smething about the women in these neighborhoods that the men would rather spend their lives in prison than raise a family with them.

Oh, I’m sure there’s lots of sin to spread around.

But part of it may be the welfare/reparations dynamic, the passive aggression. Damn it, come hell or high water, we WILL load down whitey’s gummit! Even if it means putting themselves in piteous situations, on purpose, when alternatives were well within reach.
