Well, you are certainly "blunt" about what you have to say. I think
the Terrance Johnson "saga" helped to polarize the blacks and whites
in the area -- twenty years ago -- when he claimed he was being
beaten up by the cops in the processing room.
I think it's only a shame that, given what happened, he did not
"pick up the pieces" and move ahead with his life.
Now, I've heard that three suspects have been arrested for shooting
the off-duty DC officer in Prince George's County on Wednesday, and
two of them are were already out on BOND from previous charges.
This "cop killing" epidemic has got to stop. Our criminal justice
system has failed, once again, and is looking like a "joke" to all
responsible citizens -- who obey the laws!

And the WORST thing is that people EXIST who need to be taught not to kill
their fellow man. Go on, Ken M.

No argument from me. I think it's a shame (or maybe sham) that our
criminal justice system -- simply isn't working.

Nor do you care that you're making assumptions. Not every single
criminal is incorrigible. As someone noted, the guys who killed
Officer Oliver had numerous prior offences. What if the system had
worked and those guys were incarcerated rather than just walking out?

Very true and very sad, but no proof that those people are
incorrigible.
Tchaka
Go Hoos!
Society is to blame, huh???? Grow up and smarten up!
Terrance Johnson was an animal, in no way a human being and deserved to
die! I only wish it had happened in the early 70's before he murdered
the two officers!
> Just my two cents.
That info/opinion wasn't worth the 2 cents.
Yeh Terrence Johnson was an asshole, for taking the coins, but the two
cops were probably also assholes trying to have some fun in kicking
someones ass. Lets face it we all have gotten a kick out of kicking
someones ass simply because we could. This was probably the case with the
cops but it got them killed. Face the fact that if you were in jail
getting the shit beat out of you, you too would defend yourself in any
way possible. But I admit that TJ was probably stupid to get himself
arrested anyway, common sense should tell a person that to stay out of
trouble dont get into trouble. TJ knew the law, and he broke it. It got
him in trouble, he obviously was unfamiliar with common sense. That
crime he commited got his ass kicked, it got two cops killed and finally
got him killed. The two cops were too probably lacking some common
sense, it got them killed..

Do you actually believe the two cops were beating Terrance Johnson? You
mean -- you believe someone who kills two cops, goes to prison,
gets an early release, obtains a college degree in prison, then is
stupid and psychotic enough to rob a bank?
You if believe Terrance Johnson, you'd believe just about anyone!
(Ken)
Speak for yourself....I have people stuffed and cuffed quite
often...have I EVER laid a hand on them??? NO!
No need...my job is to apprehend...they are in custody...job over...NO
need to whack on them...sheesh
Terrance Johnson did not get assaulted by either Rusty Claggett or Brian
Swart. He was AFRAID they would harm him. At the time, Rusty was
booking Johnson and Brian was with his brother in another room. There
was a struggle, and Johnson got ahold of Rusty's gun (before the holster
safety catch was developed) and shot him. He was trying to escape, and
as Brian responded to the shots, he was shot in the doorway of the room.
Detectives in the police station were able to apprehend Johnson before
he fled the police station.
I can tell you that the officers were NOT assholes. Both were very
proud to be officers, and this was what they had both wanted to do since
high school. They were the sons of police officers. I knew Brian, and
I know that he would not have "gotten a kick out of kicking someone's
ass simply because he could".
Johnson was the only asshole, he continued that way right up until he
pulled the trigger on himself, after robbing a bank. And now he's an
asshole burning in hell.
