That is a no brainer and indicative of DPD. Chase an armed attempted murderer leaving out the back door??? No way! Chase some weed head with a few grams of pot out the front door?? All day! This is the same department that chooses to catch criminals by traffic violations.

So what was the point in him looking both ways if he didnt see the white police cruiser sitting out in front? LOL

I guess I missed the part of the story where the armed attempted murderer ran out the back door. It’s time to stop blaming the police and start thanking them for all that they do.

Pot. 45 grams. Pot dealer. Lock him up. Feed him, cloth him, give him a celly to luv on. And when he gets out he will probably have AIDS and less useful talent then when he went in. This system works just fine. Whose his Daddy.

I guess that the officer was expected to see through the green towel. I hope the police give you just what you expect from them if a crime is committed against you or your family. NOTHING!

I thought only Dogs and Bats were rabbed? Or, am I thinking of RABID? Fortunately, statistic, there is a lot more than meets the eye after that officer took the report. I don’t think that you would want to be in that officer’s shoes IF AND WHEN he’s called to a domestic confrontation where one or both partners are threatening each other with a knife or a gun. Think about it. Jim

You must tell all of your friends that you read this as it will be deleted . Lest you become informed. The reason I am posting this here is because the DDN will not allow posts on the story of the 12 year old boy on a bicycle that was murdered by a speeding gun toting drug dealer that was released to the street by mat heck and judges WISEMAN GORMAN MCCRACKEN The DDN deleted all posts from the first article and refuses to allow posts on any updates. The posters on the first article wanted to know the name of the perpetrator and the names of the judges that turned him loose. This is classified information so no more posts. The DDN is actually purposefully and overtly trying to HIDE information from you. Case number 2004 CR 03284- STATE OF OHIO vs ANTWONNE MCGINNIS 12/03/2004 INDICTMENT FOR ATTEMPTED GRAND THEFT (MV) & POSSESSION OF CRIMINAL TOOLS FILED. 12/29/2004 REQUEST FOR INTERVENTION IN LIEU OF CONVICTION FILED BY ATTY CYNTHIA KARNS. 01/25/2005 DECISION FILED, TREATMENT IN LIEU OF CONVICTION. judgeGORMAN 03/14/2006 NOTICE OF REVOCATION HEARING AND ORDER FILED, BOND IS $5000.

SENTENCED 1-17-07 TO CRC 12 MONTHS FOR COUNT 1 AND 12 MONTHS FOR COUNT 2. BOTH COUNTS ARE CONCURRENT TO EACH OTHER AND CONCURRENT TO 06 CR 5180. GORMAN Case number 2006 CR 05180- STATE OF OHIO vs ANTWONNE L. MCGINNIS12/14/2006 INDICTMENT FOR POSSESSION OF COCAINE(5 GRAMS BUT < 10 GRAMS - CRACK) FILED ORC2925.11 Possession of controlled substances. c) If the amount of the drug involved equals or exceeds …… five grams but is less than ten grams of crack cocaine, possession of cocaine is a felony of the third degree, and the court SHALL impose as a mandatory prison term one of the prison terms prescribed for a felony of the third degree. ORC 2929.14 Definite prison terms. (3) For a felony of the third degree, the prison term shall be one, two, three, four, or five years. 01/19/2007 TERMINATION ENTRY FILED. SENTENCED 1-17-07 TO CRC 12 MONTHS CONCURRENT TO 04 CR 3284. SUSPEND DRIVER’S LICENSE 6 MONTHS. MANDATORY FINE OF 5,000. GORMAN 2008 CR 01458- STATE OF OHIO vs ANTWONNE MCGINNIS 05/05/2008 INDICTMENT FOR HAVING WEAPONS UNDER DISABILITY (PRIOR DRUG CONVICTION) FILED. 06/20/2008 ENTRY OF WAIVER AND PLEA FILED.

WISEMAN 2008 CR 02781- STATE OF OHIO vs ANTWONNE L. MCGINNIS 09/02/2008 ENTRY OF WAIVER AND PLEA FILED GUILTY 08/28/08 DISRUPTING PUBLIC SERVICES. FINAL DISPO 09/11/08. HALL 09/17/2008 TERMINATION ENTRY FILED 9/11/08. SENTENCED TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. Judge WISEMAN In a nut shell all of the above means that ANTWONNE L. MCGINNIS was arrested for stealing a car. Judge GORMAN let him off. He did not comply with the terms of probation twice by robbing somebody and not staying off drugs. Judge MCCRACKEN let him off. He did not comply with the terms of probation again, judge GORMAN gave him 12 months. He was found guilty of having crack Gorman was required by law to sentence him to 1-5 years. She gave him the minimum 1 year but that was concurrent to the year he received for blowing 2 chances on the car theft charge. He actually did not serve the required sentence for the crack because he was already in prison. I cannot find if Gorman violated Ohio law because she did not sentence him to consecutive sentences. All I know is that he did not serve a sentence specifically for the crack. After he got out of prison he then was charged with WEAPONS UNDER DISABILITY (PRIOR DRUG CONVICTION). Judge WISEMAN SENTENCED him TO 5 YRS COMMUNITY CONTROL. This convicted gun toting drug dealing thief has learned that he owns the world and any little kid that is on his street deserves to be killed. To all little kids out there do not go on to Antwonne’s street.

Let’s get one thing straight, these people put their lives on the line for you and I everyday. Where is the gratitude? What if you were in the same situation as that officer…you have no idea what was under that towel. He very well could have been the shooter. Until you have walked in there shoes and dealt with the stupid crack heads on the west side I think it best to keep your comments to yourself.

The Dayton Police do an excellent job serving and protecting the public. They are understaffed. Crimes can be solved if citizens cooperate. Judges need to accept less plea bargains and avoid deciding on community service sentences. USE the jail- Use tents if need be.

McRib: Tell me again how that cop should have known that what was under the green towel was pot and not a gun? After all, he was on th scene of a shooting. Seems anyone with a scintilla of common sense would think he acted prudently considering the circumstances. Maybe you are suggesting he should have let this guy go along his merry way once he learned it was indeed an illegal controlled substance and not a gun? You would then be brying foul for him not doing his job. They can’t win in your eyes, can they?

PLUS, it’s hard to control crime when, as a poster earlier stated, guys they arrest 3, 4, 5+ times are out of jail on community control, or ILC or some other social program that DOES NOT deter their criminal behavior.

The DPD is full of overweight lazy officers. They may get frustrated by the number of times they may have to arrest a guy. But if they did it right the FIRST time a guy wouldn’t be getting off in court. The police bring these weak, often trumped up charges before a judge, and more often than not, the judge has to let a guy go or hopes, he pleads to some lesser BS. The DPD are weak and racist. If you don’t all ready see that, you will.

The rest are cowards,(sorry)I call the police when I saw or was victim, if they came they took a report, or harassed ME, like I had committed an offense!
