#Nashville #Shooting #Police
Wow how will the officer’s feel about this one
Well, this sad!
Nah, it’s really not.
Wakanda forever
Where is blm
In your momma
I’m so sorry Chief !😢
Are you sorry to the other parents who raised criminals??
Blame His Father not raising him Right.
You are an lDlOT !
man i feel sorry for the dad
I think Chief handled this very well
If he wasnt a cop you wouldnt be
For what reason he failed his son when he was a young adult. Most likely thought that parenting was just like arresting someone and turned son against him and he rebelled.
Why? He’s an estranged son for a reason, usually bad parenting.
Do you feel bad for the parents of other criminals??
Sounds like a cop involved drug deal.
I agree with tough love…but he gave up on his son a long time ago.
Wow…way to be a dad.
He’s 38: he’s not a baby any more! He chose this life and actions have consequences!
MeXiCo Is So DaNgErOuS
Catch him and hold him accountable
Always the cops with the messed up families! I always remember gramp saying in the old days in small town America” The last people you would tell your going out of town would be the sheriff”! They are the crooks! Somethings remain the same!
Wow.. blue family goes against their own .. now chief looks like he can’t control his men or his family members.. total embarrassment… no wonder trust & confidence are lacking in the city.
You sound young dude is 38 a grown man he made his own decisions. No blame on the family or the mother father at this point. He supposed wipe him after he uses the bathroom too…lol
@williamjames914 I’m probably old enough to be the chief dad.. just disappointed how the level foolishness is that of the amount of crap hitting the news in just Tennessee along… but the chief son has to hit close to his heart ,,,relationship or not..
“…out of the hospital.”
Can’t win em all.
sending Thoughts and Prayers in advance to everyone lives in a G.un In.fested country …
its only a matter of time before those bull.ets comin’ atcha …
AmeriKKKa is the bad place.
What did they do to him..they did something
Bro?????
Always the same criminals.
Always the usual 13%
Seriously? 20 years but was repeatedly put back on the streets.
Sometimes the apple do fall far from the tree.
This seems like a good plot for a movie
1) Whats the race of the officers 2) Is this a hate crime 3) Oh i forgot when blacks commit violence its NEVER because of race right?
Did you watch the video, or just hammer out a willfully ignorant poop comment?
@Bum Hip The latter. But was shocked when is kipped ahead now and found out it was a black woman also shot. Still could have been racially motivated though. I simply wonder why tis never asked when its black on white?
He a good young Man …i been knowing dat Mans Daddy! Gun must have just misfired!
You’re telling us something different,. with that YouTube user name.
You tagged yourself..
This is his way of showing he wants his dads attention at 38 years old lol
Exactly my thoughts
Why do cops always have tbe worst kids?
That chief is like, “he was my son, but I ain’t got nothing to do with this”.
Imagine telling your guys to shoot your son
Ohh no, that’s a terrible tragedy right there! 😢
He should do a dna test, I know sons don’t have to look like their fathers but…just saying
😂
Why is anyone surprised?
Here comes the cover up
Stay out of trouble
The government has really called things more difficult for its citizens, and we can’t sit back and bear all the consequences of the bad governance. It’s obvious we are headed for hyperinflation,it is always the poor who take the hit.
Inflation has been lowering
A Curse!
Blacks: Why are there so many more colored people in prison?
Truth: Because they commit more violent crimes!
Men raise ur kids don’t let them act crazy . All it takes is a Loving dad and most these idiots wouldn’t be doing what they doing
Wow ⚫️⚫️⚫️⚫️
Uh oh. John Drake Jr. is in BIG trouble.
What a tragic situation all the way around. Praying for all involved…🕯
untreated mental illness
I love how he couldnt stress enough how he wasnt at fault for this. As we all know people who lack accountability father the best children
Adult children choose their own path in life. Blaming dad is just an excuse for your own bad choices.
@Wilfred Darr lol “adult children” that’s an oxymoron but I get what you’re saying. but poor parenting creates the type of person who would choose to go down the wrong path
Baby Mama culture at its finest
The Chief is disgusting!!! That statement about his “estranged” son…!! Basically “dont blame me, I dindoo nuffin, ..he’s barely even my son. Im a deadbeat dad and this is how our black adult-children act”…As indicated by the Chief”s statement.
The USA almost has enough firearms to make it safe. Almost.
FBI statistics 1 in every chocolate will see a prison sentence
He’s had troubles since he was a kid, a teen. It’s clear the dad had given up on him a long time ago. I wonder how his presence/parenting or lack thereof added to this. Sometimes you can only do so much, though. That’s a tough spot to be in.
Probably not there with his mom being a “baby mama.” Many blacks don’t have fathers with both parents agreeing to remain separate with the father providing money and the mother being solely responsible for raising the child.
@Jamal Wilburnplease don’t perpetuate racist stereotypes thanks
😂😂😂the dad…aint mine anymore. He a criminal!!
this is like that scene in a movie just before he has a face to face with his son.
Sounds like a manpig did not raise his kid
The fact that the father himself called his own son “Estranged” told me all I needed to know. Obviously choose a career over family.
Not necessarily: my brother has chosen his own path that estranged him from the family. My sister and I turned out fine, it was not our parent’s fault he’s in the road he’s on. Blaming parents is only an excuse to avoid personal responsibility.
Walk a mile in that Father’s shoes. Lord only knows what that family has gone through. It’s a terrible tragedy.
He just said that to push all this off him. If he wasn’t the chiefs son this would be every where online I had to look for this and I havnt seen it covered by anyone but Nashville
Bet hes headed here for south florida to get to a fishing boat to flee to the Cayman islands….
As soon as i heard the story I figured it was a black family.
Why does it matter. What a foolish statement
As a father I feel bad for the Chief. You can love, teach and provide for your kids but you can’t live life for them. Some of them just make bad choices.
Chief hold your head up! 💯💪🏾
he said he hadn’t spoken to his son in years. Maybe if he was actually there this could have been avoided
@Momaybe that wasn’t his choice. As a father of 2 sons I can really Sympathize with the father. You do the best you can but sometimes it’s not enough. I’ve been lucky both my sons and daughter have had their problems but ultimately they chose the right path.
He has a duty and obligation as a father. He failed. That is objective fact.
Do you support other parents of criminals? Or just cops
He should resign and work on being a better father instead of trying to distance himself.
What is the point of interviewing non-witnesses?
What is the point of nit-picking their production? If you don’t like it, you can go to another news source. You can even start your own news channel and do things exactly the way you like. You may find producing a news story isn’t as easy as you imagine. You may find it is impossible to please everybody.
Now how can he give up on his son but not the public? how do he thinks he can control the public and make them do right? Shouldn’t his flesh and blood mean much more to him? instead he is willing to give up on him so easily done, but how do he cares about the public so much thinking he can fix that? no , it’s just his gig to go to pay his bills, and probably is not with his mother anyone that’s how he gave up, to be so satisfied with laying with another woman and men is well known to forget about children and all for another woman.
Parents can’t control what their adult children do just a shame all around.
Poor parents are probably afraid as well…smdh!
They could have tried raising him in a loving and supportive home. I heard that works
Father = Lawman
Son = Outlaw
Curious if the Police Chief Father would bring his Outlaw Son in if he ran into him. . .
Remember humanity spits Jesus christ in the face so the false evil messiah the antichrist must rise as punishment for our evil sins
9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
Dang hes still on the run….. 😮
So hard for the police chief. No matter what, it would still break your heart to learn your child was capable of such heinous action. My heart is with the officers.
Sorry to hear about your heart problems.
Can blacks even be father figures
Black ops
Sounds like father of the year.
Surprise surprise
I understand dad wanted people to understand he wasn’t supporting his sons actions but I feel he went too far with the distancing, it makes him look weak. Maybe even a hint towards why the problems started. I get he doesn’t condone his son’s lifestyle or choices, but he *is* his son, no need to hammer down on the man, he’s not going to get away with it and will be paying for it for the rest of his life. Be a bigger man, you’re supposed to be a leader for Pete’s sake
That so sad 😢
Wow, a child of law enforcement feels they are above the law, what?! Crazy…
It’s not murder. Better to turn yourself in and convert to Islam in jail.
Truly a miracle. The police officers were not killed. Please pray for your police officers, who risk their lives to protect you.
I’m so sick of the lying advertisements to get all these benefits and they use big names to advertise these so-called benefits you can get from the government. Quit the lying advertisements please
People that annoy you..
Very sad
Boring
Like father, like son
Two and a half grand for a most wanted man who shot two officers kinda says you don’t want to find him or maybe you don’t want to reward people for the information.
Really
This reminds me of Hawaii police chief
God we are all hurting down here!
Cops have done this to themselves.
It’s NBC. We don’t know if it’s true
B.matters
I mean he says estranged makes you wonder if he was active in his life as a child would he have went down this path. Either way do the crime do the time!
