The police are not, omnipresent. Would you commit a crime in front of one, most criminals won’t either.
WTF happened anyway. Why no law enforcement updates. Mason City always hides the truth from the citizens. They never did release the name of Nudy Rudy and he was an adult.
for all you complainers out there, sure hope your fine wasn’t to high the last time you broke the law and got arrested!!! ya I know you didn’t deserve it.
down grade all the law enforcement officers you morons, next time your house is getting broken into, you wife is getting raped, someone is trying to take you kids and etc who you going to call, another one of the idiots that just posted here.
after reading the posts I thought that all the idiots were locked up, maybe they are, posting from jail when Bubba doesn’t need them here you are criticizing them and you don’t know the whole story. Im sure there will be a press release as soon and a complete investigation is done, why release bits and pieces now, so that all you idiots can make your own story?? until you are there don’t judge blame on people. I was in law enforcement for over 25 years, I have been there!!! ever had a 12 guage with a deer slug in the action pointed at you from 10 feet, I have. most of you idiots would have to go home and change your undies. I hate assholes like you that put us down when u haven’t the slightest idea of what happened.
Someone said he was shot in the back. Does anyone know it that is true and what was the guy doing there? Anybody know?
It is hard to understand that the railroad is still allowed to have these private Mercenaries. Mind you, these goons are not your typical Mall cops. They have actual police powers, and their use of deadly force is judged as such in a court of law, even though they’re not sworn in to serve the general public and while being on the payroll of – and loyal to – a private corporation.
This is the way things are done in third world s***holes, wether that’s Africa today or America 150 years ago. It is time for us to Let it go.
This could have been a student walking home from school. Quiet Zone sounds peacefull. Call like it is. Shooting Range
So how many people got shot before the quiet Zone
Just another local POS trespassing with a gun
Why isn’t more information being revealed by authorities. Was this an illegal alien that was found riding the rails? Or, was this a local up to no good? Why the injuries to the railroad officer? What caused his “minor” injuries?
We the people have a right to know this NOW. Is the public at any risk do to illegals traveling through the area? This is happening all over America right now. Theft and breaking and entering is common as illegals roam the country. I am concerned!
As usual the authorities cover up a lot of stuff. No need for secrecy!
you know what I heard???? SHEEP
Heard he was shot in the back while running away. Wtf.
