Perhaps.

He was not held in Maury county, but this needs investigating.

Don't misunderstand me--good riddence to bad trash!

But the police are only to arrest. Punishment is decided by the courts.

I have some doubts and hope they bring in an outside investigator that will actually dig to make sure a little brotherly justice wasn't handed out to this man. I do not defend his actions, the shooting or the suicide if it is proven to be one, but I fear my government. I would hate to think that an officer could accuse someone of a crime, have them arrested, and then orchestrate their death before a trial can be held or an investigation completed. I know it can happen, I just don't want to see the proof right here in my backyard.

It seem we have lost sight of the fact that this was a loss of human life and that is sad.
Shooting some one is wrong however we are all Gods children and I for one sad that any of this happened and so close to Christmas.
Instead of saying rot in hell you should pray for all involved.I don't think criminals should go unpunished but we should think of reform not revenge.

Reform? This pos attempted to kill a cop, over an argument with his wife. Probably wasn’t his first run in with the police either. He was way past reform. Not saying its right if any officers had something to do with his death, but not going to lose any sleep over his demise either.

Being a 31 year member of Law Enforcement, I interpreted some of your post as insulting. You were doing just fine until your last 2 sentences, when it appears you hedged on the side of incinuating that the jailers may have been part of this. We all know quite well who arrests and who decides punishment. We also know we are human and have feelings. We are a brotherhood of people that when one hurts our own dont take it real well. One shoots one that will be amongst their caregivers and expects to be treated well? I dont know what took place in there and there IS an investigation going on now. However, if he had been cursed and threatened everyday in jail, that would have been just fine with me. Have you any idea what its like to be civil to one that has shot one of your own, and who would most likely do the same to you should you turn your back? The sequence of events started with Brewer, let it end there unless reason exist not to.

Rick,
Thank you for your years of service! Not everyone can do what you all do everyday. I was a nurse in the prison system. Its not easy being nice to some people but you do what ya gotta do...

If there was one prisoner in that entire jail that your brotherhood should have kept alive, it was Brewer.

I passionately believe that the vast majority of law enforcement are wonderful, loyal, and upstanding civil servants but like all demographics there a rotten nes in the barrel as well. The bond and code present in the ranks can corrupt and warp judgement at times just like every where and everyone else. I do not trust a too powerful system with a large support network to always and without fail do the right thing.
That means I am not a sheeple, I do not blindly trust, and I do not always take everything at face value. If any person has the ability to commit a crime and get away with it would I not be foolish to think it is the very people sworn to uphold and enforce those laws and therefore armed with an intimate knowledge of the methods of solving said crimes?
