Blount County - Manhunt underway for cop-killer

In our twisted world, it’s probably for the best they took him alive. Imagine some over excited young cop used excessive force and killed him, and suddenly, the anti-police crowd have a new martyr to parade around. Hopefully the state justice system deals with him accordingly and swiftly….hopefully.

I imagine law enforcement was instructed to bring him in alive at all costs just to avoid something like that. Thank God for those that serve honorably.

If I understand correctly, should the offender be found guilty, he could be sentenced to death. Tennessee has suspended carrying out the death penalty while execution protocols are fixed.

Even if he gets the death penalty, youre looking at 20-25 years on death row with appeals..... Its not like justice will have been served anyways, he still got to live out most of his life.

I just wish, in open and shut cases like this we had a speedier process..... To me it absolutely sucks as a taxpayer, that I have to feed, clothe and house this POS for the next 20 years.

I have the same feelings on it in regards to the death penalty if you're going to use it.Prayers to the families and those affected.

Cliff notes for those who dont want to watch.

They pulled him over for being all over the road.
Officers thought it was weed by his actions and smell
KD refused to exit the vehicle when asked.
KD asked for a dog.... officers refused to call a dog, but kept asking him to step out.
Evantually the officers open the door and try and pull him out.
They tase him once, KD slams the door shut, the officers re open the door, KD refuses to exit the vehicle, so they tase him a second time.
KD slams the door shut a second time, so the officers tase him for a 3rd time.
At this point, KD opens fire from the driver seat.
McCowen was shot at point blank range in the chest he had no chance.
KD then circles around and drives off.

Once both officers are shot and deputy Eggers re treats... You can hear KD scream, I told you MF'ers and he fires one more shot into deputy McCowen.

Screw that. He needs to be shot in the chest and left to bleed out just like he did to the officer. The world is soft, eye for an eye IMO. Also, don't forget to shoot one more round into him as your walking away just as he did.

Are situations becoming more dangerous because there is so much pressure to avoid being perceived as racist?

For the suspects, are emotions allowed to ramp up so they are out of control of themselves? Is the pressure on the officers leading to unnecessary risks being taken?

Just my 2 cents..... Which im sure this wont go over well.

But no theres a segment of our population who have never been taught actions have consequences, one side screams racism when they dont get their way, the other screams police brutality. They are taught that everyone is out to get them, especially the police. And im not trying to make this a skin color issue.

For example, last week there were several DUI checkpoints set up where I live, at one of the check points a car drove through it almost hitting multiple officers and civilians, when police attempted to stop them they then led police on a high speed chase until they crashed, after crashing the driver then got out and bailed, and the police had to chase them on foot. There were 3 other occupants in the vehicle, the officers that didnt chase did a felony stop on the other 2 occupants and had them get out of the car at gun point. Once the driver was caught he fought with police and was eventually tased.

After all this happened the family was on social media screaming about police brutality and the fact the driver got tased. Whenever someone brought up the drivers actions there was always some reason why they did what they did, and the whole situation wasnt their fault, and the police shouldnt have tased him. No mention of all of the actions of the driver proceeding the polices actions. (This family is white, just so people dont think im racial profiling)

Its an idiot issue.

Just my experience - I’m not a sworn LEO, but I work closely with them everyday at the local, state, and federal level. I wouldn’t say “racist” is the right fear, but there is a fear is being “cancelled” by the public and most departments will not stick up for their officers and will fire them immediately to save face. I’ve seen it happen. For a lot of these guys, LE is their career and life and what’s going to get them a pension and health insurance in their older age. No reason to risk it all for some dude that got high and decided to drive. I have no doubt some officers would’ve just let this guy go with a warning knowing there’s no way it ends well.

I fear this. It probably goes a long way towards explaining the breakdown in the social contract.

You better believe the criminals know this too.

“I can keep selling drugs/guns/etc because the cops are too worried about being cancelled and losing their job as the only bread winner in their family.”
