February 20, 201511 yr Have they identified the suspect yet or are they waiting to see if he makes it? Per WLWT "Investigators said when officers arrived, they found Jacques Poirer, 22, of Bloomington, loading a shotgun."
February 20, 201511 yr They need to tear down those flea bag motels. But what do you do with the good tenants? Many good people out there do not have homes and have to live in motels. If it was me who owned one of these hotels, I would make sure there is at least professional security at night, maybe even off duty officers. But I am pretty sure that the owners don't care, they only want to make some money, and by doing so they risk the lives of the good tenants that they do have at their hotel. I am guessing what the name is of the owner. It seems the same last name have been involved in many hotels going down hill in the area.
February 20, 201511 yr Per WLWT "Investigators said when officers arrived, they found Jacques Poirer, 22, of Bloomington, loading a shotgun." I wonder if this is the guy. Looks to be. https://www.facebook.com/jacques.poirier.7?fref=ts
February 20, 201511 yr Police stopped by my office to see if we had video cameras. His unofficial opinion was suicide by cop.
February 20, 201511 yr Several media outlets listed the officers involved: Lt. Joe Maier -- 18 years experience Sgt. Chad Irwin -- 18 years experience K-9 Officer Bryan Murphy -- 15 years experience Officer Tim Lowe -- 14 years experience Officer B.J. Eder -- 13 years experience Officer Jake Samad -- One year experience ====================== I don't know Officer Samad but I worked with the rest of the officers. Several of them have SWAT experience, one was in training to be a Navy Seal before an injury forced him to take a reduced roll when he recently served our country, K9 speaks for itself, I see at least two range instructors, one sniper, one marital artist (had to throw that in there), and a wealth of quality experience.

I'm impressed they have that many veteran officers willing to work night shift.

Asking because I don't know...what expertise goes along with being a K9 handler beyond the obvious ability to partner with a highly trained K9?
February 20, 201511 yr I'm impressed they have that many veteran officers willing to work night shift. It is a combination of being willing, being told, and the nature of the beast (ranking officers have a lot of experience).

Wasnt Samad a former Football Player for Conner? Come on Guru....
February 20, 201511 yr Asking because I don't know...what expertise goes along with being a K9 handler beyond the obvious ability to partner with a highly trained K9? Hypothetically, when someone robs a bank, shoots a couple of police officers and then runs into the woods guess who goes in after them? The K9 officer. My point is, K9 officers consistently deal with the most dangerous aspects of law enforcement. I want to add that Bryan Murphy (the K9 officer involved) is one of the nicest, friendliest, best people you will ever meet.

February 20, 201511 yr Okay...that makes sense. :thumb: Murph is also a physical beast, has some specialized combat training (he isn't Seal in training I was referring to), and of course he was highly trained as a rookie. :thumb: I ran into Murph recently and we had a discussion about officer safety and situations just like this. I am glad no officers were injured.
