Shooting 9 people shouldnt he get a promotion for that, espeacilaly in Detroit. Remember there is nothing wrong with a shooting as long as the right people get shot.

I shot a bunch of people and didn't get a damn cent. Again, not fair.

Hmm...a $38,000 per shot person per year bonus. Where do I sign up?

If [b]ONLY[/b] it were this easy, We'd have had "Downtown" cleaned up and rebuilding years ago!

Lets see....On the one hand, We have an officer who has had to shoot a (small) few of the worst scumbags in the city, and for this He is getting a world of crap/sent away. On the other hand, We have a City( & Their Government Employees) Who are riddled with, Corruption, Paybacks, Slackers, Fools, Crooks, Liars, And every other Scumbag You could ever want to see, And the Cop is the "Bad Guy"?!?!?

[b]I GOTTA' GET OUT OF HERE![/b]

 I remember hearing about this guy a while back after he had been in 8 shootings (a friend lived in Detroit at the time).  He was simply out there in the mix every night he was on patrol.  If I recall correctly, he has been hit himself in 2 of the shootings and had shots fired at him in at least 6 of them.

 Like the (very, very incomplete) newspaper article itself stated, they never found anything criminally wrong with any of the shootings.  He has also received no department discipline over them either.

  If they could fire him for wrongdoing they certainly would, but he hasn't done anything wrong.  He is, like so many police officers all over the country, being punished for being out there doing his job instead of sitting in the hole all night napping or reading a newspaper.

Where's that thread about Hunter ( Fred Dryer )?

He was estimated to have shot about 260 people over a 10 year span.

ok, i'm treading at my own perel here but this is just an observation based on past community vs. law enforcement situations. plus i live in the detroit area.

i'm bravely guessing that eugene brown is black. i say this because he has used lethal force continuously for the last 9 years and hasn't been attacked by the ACLU & the media yet (or until now). it seems that if he were a white officer he would have been the center of a huge investigation that would've certainly been a public media circus gone national, promting an immediate dismissal.

more attention was given to a few beatings by detroit area store security guards than this officer in question. you remember? al sharpton organized marches in detroit claiming "racism". and suddenly all white people were bad.

in this case, eugene went largely uncontested in 9 years of consistant behavior, and is actually getting paid lots of $ to simply leave.

if i'm right on this officer's ethenicity, then this should raise some red flags.

if i'm wrong, then i stand corrected, and i'll just say it's rather a bizzare situation that's beyond me.

i appologize if i offended anyone.

I did a search on this guy and found this article and there is a picture of him there.
