Police recruit fatally shoots would-be robber, 14

They were no doubt tears of anger, caused by your stupid questions, whilst he restrained himself from snapping your spine and stomping a mud hole in your ***, then walking it dry, obviously. :D:D

Naw, he just choked up under stress.

We always looked forward to hiring Marines. They generally are fearless and follow orders without being a cry-baby. It was a good thing we weeded this one out, and of all things, it was on a deadly force scenario. Surprised the crap out of us.

I guess he did not like me pounding my hand on the table, yelling, "He just hit him again (with BB bat), what are you going to do! (Slam) "He just hit him again! What are you going to do!" The guy just froze up with little bitty tears in his eyes, jumping in his chair every time I hit the table.

You do have to tolerate a bit of their bravado smack talk, though, they can't help it. They used to crack me up listening to them banter back an forth like roosters just before briefing started. But when this Sergeant sat down to start briefing, they STFU. I enjoyed having disciplined Marines on my squad. ;)

You do not, I repeat, do not, need a license to own a handgun in GA. You need a license to carry one, but owning one is just a matter of going to the store and buying the thing. It takes all of ten minutes or so. Less if you have a carry permit because you are excluded from the background check.


*Steps off his soapbox*

:D

What's the point in owning a pistol if you can't legally carry it?:confused:

Target shooting and home defense both come to mind.

I think we have a miscommunication.

You do not need a license to buy or own a firearm. You do need a permit to carry on legally.

I hope this clears it up.

[Question]

a 14 year old is not a child anymore... hell, I've seen 10 year olds who aren't children anymore...


Yeah it is sad when they get involved with these things, but a strong family, whether it be a 1 parent or 2, will always be the deciding factor. Growing up poor is not an excuse, I grew up poor, but I turned out just fine.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEING A ****HEAD.

There is no excuse for being a ****head and children can and should be held accountable for their actions, but that doesn't make a 10 year old or a 14 year old an adult.

If you shouldn't be having sex or driving, you are still a child. Of course, children are held accountable by natural law, as was the case here, and legal law.

[O'Gee]

It does not matter. You do not need a permit to carry a gun in your vehicle in GA.

This is why I love states like GA. I could only imagine how hard it would be for this recruit to explain this in NY.

GA? Pssstt.. In VA you can open carry without a permit. Same goes for your vehicle as well.

[ngcsubutterbar]

Yeah but there aren't any Park Police willing to slap your *** for spitting to the left instead of the right here.:D

VA, pffttt. In Arizona you get ***** slapped if you are not carrying a gun. LOL

Ok Doc, you need to send me some brochures. I might be moving.:D

Well, spit to the right and there won't be any problems.:p

[Cat_Doc]

I may have exaggerated, just a tad, MX.

We would actually get in trouble for ***** slapping someone just because they decided to come out without being heeled. :D

[Taz_bb2]

I think this recruit will have his choice of agencies. :D:cool:

Good job!

Why am I not surprised?

Teen shot by police recruit wanted in synagogue robbery

By BETH WARREN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Published on: 02/11/08

The 14-year-old boy who was killed when he tried to rob an Atlanta police recruit with a shotgun this weekend also was being sought by police in DeKalb County for an armed robbery at a synagogue.

DeKalb County police were searching for Demario Jackson of Atlanta for allegedly breaking into Ner Hamizrah Synagogue on Lavista Road with a friend Jan. 31 and robbing a congregation member at gunpoint, said Mikki Jones, spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office.

On Thursday, DeKalb fugitive squad members took out warrants charging Jackson and another minor, whose name has been withheld by police, with armed robbery and burglary, Jones said. Atlanta police soon helped DeKalb find and arrest the unnamed suspect, who was in Atlanta, but Jackson remained at large.

On Saturday, Jackson walked up to a man sitting in a car typing on a laptop at a Forest Park apartment complex and tried to rob him of the computer early Saturday morning, Forest Park police said. The man turned out to be police recruit Mohamadreza Rashad, who was formerly in the Marine Corps. Rashad, who lives at the Parkside Crossing apartment complex on Jonesboro Road, pulled his handgun and fired, killing the teen, Forest Park police Maj. Chris Matson said.

Inside Jackson's pockets, police found keys to a gray 2006 Pontiac G6 reported stolen in December from the owner's East Point driveway, Matson said. The teen's suspected lookout ran from the area and has not been identified. Forest Park police officials have said the shooting seems to be self-defense, but their investigation is ongoing.

A woman who identified herself as the teen's mother said Monday she wasn't at the scene when her son was killed and she didn't know what happened and couldn't talk anymore. A man later reached at the same home, on Fisher Road in Atlanta, also declined to comment.
