My Grandson works in the jail in Cheatham County and I know he would not have had anything to do with that ordeal. He is head jailer on the night shift and I can promise you it would not have happened on his shift. It looks like he will be pulling longer shifts again cause they are already short of staff and going to be short again. As far as people that did this. You can bet they will probably be charged with something and I do agree that the man they tazed needs to own a good portion of Cheatham County...........JMHO

I didn't see that one but I don't watch his movies unless there is just nothing else showing on TV at the time.

I would not think house cats would have got them. Maybe Bob Cats, Foxes and Coyote's but I doubt house cats. House cats would be part of the food chain themselves if there is land capable of supporting a covey or 2 of Quail on it..........JMHO

I would be willing to bet the FHP got held after class and got a learning experience probably. Judges sometimes don't like LEO's with smart mouths, expecially in a tourist towns! .............JMHO

Actually the only movie I saw with Cruise in it I liked was Top Gun and that was only because there were other top stars in it. I have never been much of Russell Crowe fan either. He did a good showing in Gladiator but that was about all.................JMHO

After watching the video above and I were the officer when he made the move to quickly approach me that would very possibly been when I shot him because of a purely and overly aggressive nature being shown. No doubt the other person in the vehicle was probably loading the rifle and the guy was stalling long enough to get it done. I am very sorry for that officer and I do agree that in this day in time there is no plain traffic stops where there is zero danger with all of the crazy people out there. I guess that is why when Gallatin PD or Hendersonville PD does a traffic stop nothing transpires at the stop till backup has arrived. Just about every traffic stop I have witnessed in both of those towns there is always 2 or more police cars at the scene and I can't blame them at all these days................jmho

I suspect that they are increasing them for a couple reasons, 2 which I totally agree with. 1 is the move over law when you are approaching an emergency vehicle working on the shoulder you do need to slowand move over and #2 is speeding in construction zones when workers are present. Many have been hurt or killed by people both failing to move over or speeding in construction zones. As far as the rest of the high fines, That is just the Judges and clerks doing what all politicians do. They are writing them selves a raise in pay!!!!!.............

Is that the one where the Mummy is a female? I have quit watching Tom Cruise movies since Top Gun so probably won't go out of my way to watch it either...........

It's all about the money!!! Last ticket I got was back in 1992 in Watertown Tennessee at 3AM. I was on my way to Center Hill lake to fish a tournament pulling my boat. Speed limit was 35 and I was clocked at 58 according to the Water Town LEO. He asked me where the fire was and I said no fire, just a tournament. After he finished writing the ticket and I signed it he said good luck at the tournament and nice boat. I remember the ticket when I got home so dug it out and read what the fine was and it said my fine would be $58.00 if I mail it in. Well since it would mean a 200 miles round trip to go to court so I was getting ready to just pay it and in really very very small print at the bottom of the ticket it said No Checks. Well, I thought about it for a day or two and then sat down, wrote a check and mailed it. 6 days later my check cleared my bank. Never heard another word out of them. Like I said, it's all about the money. They got their money and were happy. As far as going to court and paying court costs those are fees that pay the judge for his time and the clerks for their time and the floor sweeper for his time and so on and so forth.

I just hope she sues all of them for their actions. I would also demand that my mug shots be removed from any and all data bases that may have them all the way up to the FBI and if they aren't I would sue for that also...........jmho

I don't see the benefit to these shot shells at a buck a piece. More rounds from a less powerful round? What is really the up side to this?????.............

I rode a lot back in the 70's and 80's and knock on wood I never had an accident but a close friend of mine did get killed by being stupid. He was doing about 90+ MPG on Franklin Road heading to a wedding and a lady stopped in front of him and he had to lay his bike down and he and the bike went completely under the car and stopped right at the cars transmission. Several witnesses said that he had passed them just seconds before the accident and said he was doing very excessive speeds just before he hit her and the accident scene showed that he laid the bike down at least 50 or more feet before making contact with the car. He died before they could get the car off of him. Shortly after that I sold my bike and never got on another one. It had nothing to do with his death. I just kind of lost interest in bikes and sold it to buy a fishing boat. Keith was always doing crazy stuff and every evening when he left work we could hear him going through the gears and each time we could tell he was WOT. His death was not a surprise to anyone. We all knew it was just a matter of time.

I am going to try and say something and it may not come out exactly right but I will try. All my life from just a little boy I was always taught to listen to a police officer when they told you to do something because they were looking out for my best interest. So all my life I did that. I am now almost 70 years old and I still listen when a police officer gives me an order or directs me to do something. Some time in the past things began to change. I'm not sure who made the first move to change it but somewhere the police attitudes changed and instead of being the ones you trust all of a sudden we can't trust them like we once did. Now with that said! I also realize that the country in general is not the country I grew up in. I look at the Country and I see what some people would consider war zone between the police and the people that they have sworn to protect. With that said I have tried to look at it from a police officers which I know I cannot do completely but I can get so sight into it. As I see it and this is just my opinion the people that the police have sworn and oath to protect in many ways have created the situation we have today and it is not just the younger generation causing this because in many large protests I see many grown ups with signs and raising hell. It is also in many cases is not a racial issue because in most all protests I have seen there are people of all races involved. Now with that said. The police have gone on the defensive rather than the offensive. I'm not exactly sure when that happened either but it has definately gone that way. Now as I see it and this is just my opinion but I think if things don't change it is going to be dangerous for anyone to have an encounter with any LEO that may be having a bad day!. We already know the bad guy will shoot you for the 5 dollars you have in your pocket!!! If we can't call the police for help with out fear of getting shot what are law biding citizens to do?..............................

If she gets the nomination she won't get my vote............JMHO

I betting once they inform her of the murder charge she will become a song bird and begin singing up a storm but that is just a guess. Some ladies ,women, girls can be as tough as many men when it comes to talking or giving up an accomplis in a crime. A lot of it will also depend on what her lawyer tells her to do I would think???...............JMHO

Well, I have to give another company a hat tip also and that is the power company here in Gallatin. When Power goes down they are on it and I mean on it right now. I have been with out power 5 times in 18 years here.The longest was 4 days about 6 years ago and that was when a storm came through town and my neighbor 3 doors down had a tree about 2.5 feet across that was dead go over and down and took power lines down with it. I learned something new with that. The power company is not allowed to come on private property and cut a tree up to get it off their power lines. It is up to the land owner to get the tree cut and moved. The land owner was not getting in any hurry until the insurance company came out and took pictures because he said he was going to make insurance pay for it. Well , he lost out on that because the Insurance company said they would have paid for the tree cutiing if it had fallen on his house but not in his yard. He had to pay to have the tree cut up and that took another 2 days getting someone to come and cut it up because all the tree cutters were still on other jobs. That was when I bought m generator. Up until that point every other time power went down it was back up in 3 hours or less. Funny story about that and then I will shut up. When we lose power the power trucks come and guys walk through all the back yards checking transformers on the poles to see which one was blown. I saw the guy checking the one on my pole between my house and neighbors and I asked him if it was a transformer and he said yea and they were cecking to make sure it was only one and I asked him what caused it to blow and he said fried a squirrel. He said that is the normal reason we lose a transformer. Well about 5 feet off the ground I have 2 squirrel feeders!!!!! I looked at the guy and said I guess I better move those huh and he laughed and said not to bother. If they have not blown your transformer in all the years we have known they are there they won't hurt it now.................LMAO

Smart move on your part my friend. Your going to find that the new unit will be much more energy efficient and save on your power bills in the future. I have lived here for about 18 + years and about 6 years ago just about the time my landlord purchased the place the Central unit that was on this cottage took a major dump and the other owner had to put one in and this place sold to the man that has it now 2 months later so he dodged a bullet. Anyway I saw a large difference in my power bills as they were down as much as 30 to 40%.

Thank you for the compliments Tacops. yea, I have always been one to plan ahead for things within my power to do. I know that things do break down and most times at the worst time possible so I try to be ready. As far as my landlord. He is a nice guy from some foreign country. I think Budapest is where he told me one time but could be wrong. He is a very hard working fair and honest man. He has my A/C back up and running already. It took him about 30 minutes to find the problem and had to replace a small transformer and it's up and running again. He never complains when I call him about an issue but some things I just fix myself if it's something I can do and does not cost much so don't bother him with it. I think he knows I do that even though I have never told him. I think my neighbors in the other duplexes may have mentions that I would fix small things in their places so he does not have to make a trip for something that takes 10 minutes and 5 bucks to fix but they would call him for that. The elderly lady had him come once to change a light bulb in her livingroom even though there was still 3 working. I told her from now on call me to do stuff like that. The landlord bought Central unit filters for all 3 units and gave them to the tennants and when he showed up to give me mine I showed him a pack of 5 new ones I already had in utility room. Once a month I go to the other units and change out the filters so he does not have to come and do it. Just who I am!..........

Well my a/c unit decided to take a dump this morning. I noticed it was getting warm in the house and went and check thermostat and it read 81 degrees and said unit was on but nothing was coming from vents. Called landlord and he said he will be here this evening after work. Folks have asked me why I have a few 110 window units in my windows while I have Central. This is the reason why. I turned on both units in both bedrooms that are side by side and put an ocilating fan in the living room between to 2 bedrooms and it is not real cool in here right now but tolerable till the land lord gets unit back up and working. I do have a good landlord and he fixes things as quick as he can. This is the 2nd time in last 5 years I have had unit issues and the first time it was down 2 days waiting on parts and window units kept it ok till repair was made. At least it is not as hot outside as it has been the last couple days............

I just posted that many police departments do racial profiling. I wonder if she would have be white if that officer would have acted the same way and even asked for the gun after she provided a carry permit. That might be a question that is needed to be asked and answered!

I would hope that was not the issue but I am guessing you are correct. I think many police departments do more racial profiling than they will ever admit to. Then when you compare apples to apples where crime rates take place they do seem to be higher in African American neighborhoods than other ones.................JMHO

I have to agree with Omega on this one for sure. I think police departments need to be held accountable for their mistakes as well as any other business is. They think becuase they are a Government agency they are above the law when actually they should be held just as accountable for their mistakes as any other company or individual would be.............JMHO

Be pretty hard to arrest him if he is in Somalia won't it? I hope they are keeping eyes on him every minute of every day. With what I have read about his 3 year record I have no clue why he was still on the force period unless they have a lot of trouble finding replacements. I sincerely support our men and women in uniform and yea I do undertstand that there are some that should not be in job because they are unfit to serve but that is in all jobs regardless of what it is. There are just some jobs that require special people that Law enforcement is one of them...............JMHO

"The problem is goverment employees can't be ordered to give a statement and that be used against them in court. Garrity rights. He may have given a statement for internal investigation but not criminal investigation. Also I seem to have read something about their laws in relation to giving a statement." No Offense and I hope none taken with this but that is nothing more than telling him it was alright to shoot her and not have to say why he did it unless I am missing something? So he killed her. Does not face any charges and does not have to tell why is inviting him to do it again................JMHO
