    We do not pay our first responders, the police, EMT's and firefighters, enough money to put up with this ghetto mentality. It's pretty sad that CEO's get paid to sit behind a desk and get paid millions and our first responders are paid the penny's they're are paid to risk their lives everyday. Our priorities are way put of whack and these ghetto thugs get EXACTLY what they deserve when they shoot at the police. It's the cops life or the ghetto thugs life...guess whose side I'm on???!!!

    Towanda, I agree. The officers who are out there doing their job (legally) deserve to be paid much, much more!

    For over fifty years, hasn't this been the norm in Englewood? :(

    You can take the ghetto thug out of the ghetto but not the ghetto out of the ghetto thug. It's a learned behavior. Those who actually want to make their life better, seem to find a way to do that. Good for them. On the other hand, terrorizing seems to be a well paying job for these ghetto thugs so why better themselves?

    According to an interview with the criminals mother, he kissed her on the cheek and told her he was running to the store...he just didn't tell her he was going to rob it. This is a guy who was on probation and had just recently been released from prison. Of course his mom says he was trying to get his life together but didn't have a clue about his "other job"...
