Just to update everyone, The $hitbag has been caught!! Celven johnson is a career criminal and was just arrested last Friday with a TEC 9 and drugs on him and was already back on the streets. The officer is in critical, but stable condition. Yes, we do have the death penalty in TN., we just never use it. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers.

Yea they are hot and uncomfortable, but it's better than the alternative.
UPDATE- Day 5, still in critical but stable condition.

Thanks 911. Our prayers are with the officer and his family.

My compliments to the profesionals who showed restraint when he was apprehended instead of giving the Sh*tbag his due on the spot. Career guys like Cleven Johnson hurt a lot of people before they finally go down for good. Not sure I could have held back.

sry, the news flash said they confiscated a Tech9....they are 9mm...and yes he is very lucky, cause hollow points are usually ammo of choice in a 357...and they do damage...9's penetrating power usually will not expand the a hollow point unless it meets resistance...lucky guy either way...

Always take what the media says with a grain of salt. Usually, it's abuot 80% true. Saw the casings with my own eyes.
Thanks again to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.
