Dekalb Georgia Police Chief is NUTS!!!
The Associated Press
ATLANTA- DeKalb County police killed a suspect they were chasing early Tuesday, marking the department's 10th fatal shooting this year.
The toll is more than three times the number of fatal shootings by police in all of last year in the county of 700,000 residents. It also exceeds the seven so far this year in New York City. Los Angeles had report nine fatal shootings by police as of September.
The incident Tuesday began as officers chased two people wanted in connection with the killing of a man and a carjacking, said Jason Gagnon, spokesman for police in the county that includes a portion of Atlanta and its eastern suburbs. The suspects' car spun out of control and the driver fired at officers, Gagnon said.
"When he fired, the officers had no other choice than to fire back for their safety," he said. He said the driver died at the scene and the second person in the car was taken to a hospital.
Several rounds were fired, he said.
The four officers involved in the shooting will be placed on routine administrative leave while the shooting is investigated, Gagnon said.
DeKalb Police Chief Nick Marinelli has blamed the rise in fatal police shootings in part on loose gun laws in the South and more aggressive criminals. One DeKalb officer has been killed this year, shot to death along with a suspect on June 29.
I suggest that the guy if as far off his rocker as his commissioner. The only things causing more crime in the metro area period is Katrina over flows that have decided to stay here, the gang culture, illegal aliens and the RAP Industry moving to the ATL. The gun laws in Georgia have not changed for many years (not enough to mention) and the Chief blames his increase in crime on the loose gun laws. His Police Department has shot 10 people this year because they were probably doing something that they needed to be shot!!!!
So I suggest that the Chief take a much harder look at things instead sucoming to media pressure and making stupid comments, sounds like Bloomberg moving south to me. Other agencies in the metro area (some larger) have not experienced such a jump, they also have rhe same gun laws as Dekalb. Maybe they have a diffrent culture base??
What do you think?
