Subdeacon Joe Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 http://www.ijreview.com/2014/07/154582-family-cop-killer-officer-stayed-car-wouldnt-shot/ The family of a man who used a semi-automatic rifle to kill an Indianapolis police officer Saturday night says it isn’t fair that the alleged shooter – Major Davis, Jr. – should “keep being dragged through the mud.” They also blamed the officer for not staying in his police car. As reported by WISH-TV, Davis was seen brandishing a semi-automatic rifle Saturday night in Indianapolis, which led to a 911 call that dispatched police to look for him: When IMPD Officer Perry Renn found Davis at 34th Street and Forest Manor Avenue, Davis opened fire on Officer Renn. Davis was critically wounded in the gunfight, but survived. Officer Renn died of wounds sustained in the firefight. Davis now faces a charge of murder. Davis’ family has now spoken out about the murder – and basically blamed Officer Renn and the Indianapolis Police Department for the shooting: “He wasn’t a bad person. His father was killed by IMPD. That is enough to hurt a person and scar him for life,” said Davis’ grandmother, Pam Moornan. The facts, as reported by BearingArms.com: Davis’ father, Major Davis, Sr. had been arrested 15 times and did three years in prison on a drug charge. He died of a heart attack in 2003 while in handcuffs after fighting with police as he attempted to avoid a public intoxication charge. More from WISH-TV: “Major is not a bad person in spite of what happened. Things happen,” said Pam Moornan. “I don’t know how the police was [sic] shooting. I don’t know if they took concern of any kids running around,” said Yvonne Moornan. The family said it “felt sorry” for Officer Renn’s family, but that the shooting may have been avoided if he had stayed in his car since he could see Davis had a gun. Incidentally, the alleged killer has an extensive criminal background that dates back to 2006. I'm guessing it is against department policy to shoot from inside the car.
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Strange that the police never shoot the bad boys. They always seem to shoot the good boys. Never mind the rap sheets, they are all good boys.
Harvey Mushman Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 And apparently against family policy to teach or assume personal responsiblilty, let alone to exercise common sense. Unbelievable...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Yep, and what about the air heads that put this out for public publication. Wish TV?
Sedalia Dave Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Wonder if Davis' family hails from Chicago.......
Shorty Jack Hammer Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Since I can cuss for real on my Facebook page, I let it all out there, but that family made me very very angry earthman
Jim No Horse Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Good shooting officer...will say a prayer for you and your family...Jim
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Does Indiana have a death penalty? If not, send the scumbag down to Florida, and we'll fry him!
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 And apparently against family policy to teach or assume personal responsiblilty, let alone to exercise common sense. Unbelievable... Ditto . . . . every common these days, . . . .
Gunner Gatlin, SASS 10274L Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Repulsive of that family. Boy, I sure could let a tirade of words flow...but...yeah....let's just say there is no sympathy for their criminal son and ALL sympathy for the brave men in blue. GG ~
Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 …"but he was really a good boy and he was just starting to get his life back together when that nasty policeman shot him!!" Rye
Birdgun Quail, SASS #63663 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Poor Mr. Davis. Killed a cop. Cop shouldn't have got out of his car and made the boy shoot him. He's such a good boy. He just had his little rifle. What else could he do? Poor Mr. Davis. Bless his heart!
DocWard Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 So, if he'd shot someone, it would have been their fault for being outside? Or if he had shot someone indoors, they shouldn't have been home? Let me guess, if those people just hadn't had money, he wouldn't have committed those robberies or burglaries either...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 But he is such a good boy.
Henry T Harrison Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Scum like this are the reason a certain word still exists
Yul Lose Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Scum like this are the reason a certain word still exists +1,000 on that.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Seen it so many times. Not even worth talking about. Heartfelt condolences to the officer's family.
Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Condolences to the grieving LEO's family. As for the nutbag family, ..............KMA you irresponsible pieces of scum.
The Shoer 27979 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Don't you guys know it is always the cops falt
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 If Davis hAdn't got out of HIS car and fired on other people he wouldn't be wounded and facing a murder charge. TURN IT AROUND AND THROW IT RIGHT BACK IN THEIR FACES!
Dusty Balz, SASS#46599 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah and IF she would have raised her son to be a productive member of society instead of a ghetto hoodlum ...
Jake Stoner , SASS # 28994 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Prayers and condolences for the officers family. Rope for the "good" boy. Disgusting.
Subdeacon Joe Posted July 8, 2014 Author Posted July 8, 2014 This incident. The "My cousin didn't deserve to be shot just because he was committing armed robbery of a Waffle House!" incident. And at least one more of the "My (insert relative) was a nice guy! Never in any trouble! Turning his life around! Just because he pulled a gun on someone doesn't give that person a right to shoot him!"Anyone seeing a trend?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 If Davis hAdn't got out of HIS car and fired on other people he wouldn't be wounded and facing a murder charge. TURN IT AROUND AND THROW IT RIGHT BACK IN THEIR FACES! How about charging the whole damn family as accessories.
Sedalia Dave Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 How about charging the whole damn family as accessories. +10
Elk Creek LeMieux Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 How about charging the whole damn family as accessories. On a serious note, I bet we'd have a lot less crime in this country if we held people accountable, that failed in their basic responsibility to prevent family from committing crimes...
Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 This incident. The "My cousin didn't deserve to be shot just because he was committing armed robbery of a Waffle House!" incident.

Just because he pulled a gun on someone doesn't give that person a right to shoot him!" Anyone seeing a trend? Joe, it's more than the three incidents you mentioned. It's everywhere, all the time. I lost a friend in the line of duty on December 4, 2006, and the dirtbag's family went on TV and made almost the exact same statements about what a "good boy" he was and "would never hurt anyone" (besides killing a cop, of course). Every time I'm forced to use force against someone their family says the same thing. I should have handled it differently, it was my fault, because he is a "good boy." This even happened when the "good boy," a trained MMA fighter, told me he was going to disarm me and kill me with my own gun, and then tried to do it. Groundfighting an MMA fighter who is trying to disarm me is not my idea of a good time, and I broke my hand knocking him out.

Groundfighting an MMA fighter who is trying to disarm me is not my idea of a good time, and I broke my hand knocking him out. What I meant was that now besides the pro forma "he was a good boy" song, we are hearing a new one, "just because he pulled a gun and was threatening people is no reason to shoot him" or some other statement, as in this case, where it's the fault of the victim, not the thug.

Tommy, me boyo, I was being 100% serious. Hold the families responsible for not taking care of the situation before it gets out of hand.

Hold the families responsible for not taking care of the situation before it gets out of hand. Families? Seems some segments of our society have a complete breakdown of the family. No good father figures. Children don't know who their father is. Mothers unable or unwilling to cope. Children raising themselves. Sad. So very sad.
Elk Creek LeMieux Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Parents, grandparents, siblings, etc... If you're psycho they ought to catch it and do something about it. Or face charges of their own.
SGT. QUINCANNON, SASS #32999 Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 A plague on that "good boy" and his family. Prayers for the family of the officer.
Jess Money Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I'm surprised the two.. ahem..."Reverends"... haven't started another march against po-lice brutality! He is such a good boy!
Clay Mosby Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 They're likely gearing up for either the 13 yr old that got shot while holding a very realistic looking toy gun, or for the woman that was beaten by a CHP officer a couple days ago.
