NOPD Officer Shot In The Head, Killed By Suspect He Was Transporting

a reply to: opethPA

Wasn't he strapped in with a seatbelt?

Would that make it harder to get your hands around?

Yeah who cares let's focus on the problem!

Who needs solutions anyway when I can be angry at someone!

Yeah!!

Quick! Let's not talk about how this guy killed a cop! Get the attention off that as quick as possible! Even if it's just a post giving more information on the incident, let's get the focus off of it as fast as we can!

Yeah!

That's a good question and one I dont have an answer for.
A few different sources have said this "and make his way through an opening in the cage inside Holloway's vehicle"
Is it like the back of a cab where you can slide a plastic window open?

"You" can't. The officer can.

"You" can't. The officer can.

Which makes sense logically..
If you take these reports at face value what are some theories you could come up with that they could be possible?

The story smells fishier than a skirted Lindsay Lohan doing the Butterfly
at a seafood market.

Prove that I haven't heard of it before and then we can go from there.

Once you've done that, you can provide the specs for the transport cage in that vehicle. (Being as there's more than one kind of cage and all)

But really, it's that first one I'm most interested in seeing.

ok i am srry if i offended you by saying you have not seen it before.

understand some of us are here to get closer to the truth.

now take a deep breath relax and then answer honestly if you can.

under the conditions listed have you seen this happen before (work under the assumption that the cage was visually sound and up to normal standards)

after that you can even list any instances where during transport someone slipped cuffs came to the front got gun and shot driver due to improper barrier.

even the closet example you could come up with would work

Apparently Boys has a history of escape attempts. It also appears that they don't believe it was the officer's gun.

And really no, I can't come up with a bulletproof scenario for anybody. I think the guy jumped his cuffs pulled his piece and probably tried to do the whole "stop the car and I won't kill you" routine. Cop didn't go for it, they fought and Boys shot him.

How big the window is would be pure speculation. Depends completely on the kind of partition it is. If Boys has a slim build (no idea what his build is) then yea, he could conceivably get through the window.

Or we can go the other route and say none of that is possible because reasons, there was a man on the grassy knoll who popped the cop in the ear, waited for him to crash, helped Boys get out and they skipped happily down the road.

…somehow got a hold of a gun in the car and shot the officer.

He was placed in the back of the car without being thoroughly searched?

Or he somehow reached through to the front and got hold of the officers sidearm?

Or discovers a gun some other detainee dumped on the floor boards to keep from being caught with it?

What else?

Maybe the cop was to busy beating his ass to realize the guy got his gun from him?

Aw. Feel better now?

Maybe a little.

Good, good. The Royals are on top of their division, you got to bash a dead cop.

All is right in your world. We're happy for you

I bet the cop decided to play stupid with him.
put the gun to his head.
but he push't the gun around.
and the cop got the bullet.

cops think they are god.
they are ALL bad now.
NO good cops left.
or they would tell the truth.

That brings up a good point. I've always been under the impression that cop car back doors were child safety locked. .......ie no getting out from the inside?

a reply to: IslandOfMisfitToys

The window could have broke from the crash, it also says he got to the front of the SUV so he could have gone out the passenger door.

Multiple ways after the car crash for him get out.
If he had the gun he could even have broke the window and opened from other side.

Lots of speculation in this story don't you think?

From how he got the gun through to how he escaped.

Funny how we aren't hearing "let's wait for the whole story before we come to conclusions" from the regulars here?

working overtime to pile bs news till tpp goes through

You are right... I retract my statement...

a reply to: Urantia1111

How come when soldiers are at war killing for our "freedom" theyre courageous and brave, but when a guy kills a policeman for his own freedom, hes automatically a coward? I mean, i know you want to insult the guy because you hate him, but this takes balls. He might be an asshole or similar, but "coward"?

Are you insinuating that this guy is some sort of hero?

Do you think that any criminal that has been apprehended has some sort of right to kill a police officer in the name of freedom?

Of those I would assume it is the second option since the article says , "An arrested subject who was being transported by the officer somehow got a hold of a gun in the car and shot the officer." Having never been in the back of a cop car as a suspect though I dont know how feasible that actually is.

It's not~!

It's a fslse report!!!/

Honestly, it sounds like somebody got lazy.

You forgot...you're talking about NOPD.

That opens up a whole NEW can of worms.

Yeah, they probably ARE that lazy. Or...

Intentional malfeasance :
(a)...is the transportee a relative of one or more of the officers who handled him up until the transfer
(b) Was the dead cop a "straight arrow"
(c) Was the dead cop on the outs with some ingroup in the precinct?

NOPD would make a great cop horror/drama series. I don't know how they stack up to NYPD or, say, the Rampart division of LAPD but I bet they give them a run for their money if they're not the kings of corruption.
