it wasnt a crack pipe they found i was there in that truck i know..... and both cops was close enough to taser him and they should have pepper spryed him BEFORE they shot him.. and damn WHY so many times and in the upper part... when popo cagle walked up you could just tell he was going to be a smartass young cop looking for trouble to get into to. someone must have pissed him off before he came on duty and took it out on us... but now all that matters is that smitty is ok and doing great..

they don't carry tasers in Mt. Juliet and would you bring pepper spray to what you believed to be a gun fight?

They are slaves to the feminist agenda.

It is people like you idiots who always question police officers and their actions. They put their lives on the lines everyday to protect people like me and you. They are trained to face situations and deal with people that we as general citizens are NOT willing to do. To sit back and be a "Monday Morning Quarterback" and question every thing officers do is ridiculous!

Have a little bit of faith in the men and women the police department hire to do a job that we are not willing to do. If an officer does the wrong thing or breaks the law, there are department policies and laws in place to deal with those situations.

The TBI was called in to investigate the shooting like always in these situations, and the officer was cleared. How do you know if the suspect wasn't grabbing for a screwdriver, a tire iron, a baseball bat, a box cutter, or many other things that could be used as a weapon. The fact of the matter is that YOU were not there, YOU were not apart of the situation, and YOU have no clue as to what you are talking about!

Officers do not just go around shooting people for no apparent reason. Something happened during that incident that put the officer in fear of his life for him to use deadly force. People always are too quick to form negative opinions of police officers, but when they become a victim of a crime, the police are their best friend!

I think the Mt. Juliet Police Department does a great job of keeping our city safe. If you think that it is any better in Nashville or Lebanon, then move to one of those cities and you will see how good you have it here. I've lived in both cities and our police department does a great job of keeping those criminals out of Mt. Juliet!

Hats off to our police force for the job you do!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!

Go get em brick layer...these people are jokes and i can bet 9 out of 10 have never been put in a situation where they had to use dealy force or be killed themselves, thats why they sit behind there computers and criticise the actions of men who arent scared to protect the people. Unfortunately its the same way with the media, less we forget the shit bag that the officer was dealing with. I feel no sorrow for the victim and applaud the officer for his actions

White power...enough said

The police have never did anything to keep me safe. I'm sure I'm not the only one they ignore.

Rpg...unless thats your initials id say that you might have been in the military quit being a b!tch

You're a clueless idiot. Cops can't wait to see a gun. This guy wasn't supposed to be reaching for anything.

I have a feeling that it was you who was beat up a lot in school, by everyone including the AV geeks. Twit.
