Milwaukee cop shooting suspect was out on bond

A member of the victim class and a suspect in the Thursday shooting of a Milwaukee Police Officer had a number of felony cases and an active warrant out against him, at the time he allegedly shot MPD Officer Herbert Davis, 26.

The alleged shooter, Jetrin Rodthong, 23, is charged with resisting or obstructing officers, bail jumping, driving or operating a vehicle without the owner's consent [aka stealing the freaking car], and drug possession, along with a few side dishes thrown in for flavor. He had been released on bond because our society is screwed up.

Officer Davis was hospitalized after being shot and has since been released.

"As much as we help the community, they’ll help us as well. It really means a lot," Davis said after he was released Friday, according to FOX 6 Milwaukee. "You expect that from your brothers and sisters, but you don’t know what you’re getting in certain situations."

Davis was responding to reports of an injured or sick person Thursday on the 2100 block of W. St. Paul Avenue. He arrived at the location to discover a person slumped over in a vehicle, a press release states.

Once Davis approached the individual later identified as Rodthong, the suspect allegedly attempted to flee the vehicle and exchanged gunfire with Davis.

Rodthong then apparently wanting to become a police officer one day, entered Davis' police vehicle, used the car to flee the scene, crashed into another motorist and attempted to evade officers on foot. Officers eventually caught up to him and apprehended him without incident.

Thankfully, Rodthong is not black so Antifa and BLM were elsewhere ruining other communities.

Davis, Rodthong and the driver of the vehicle Rodthong crashed into were transported to a hospital for treatment. Sadly, Rodthong has also been released with non-life-threatening injuries.

"The Milwaukee Police Department would like to thank the community members that stopped and remained at scene to help our wounded officer," MPD said in the press release. "We would also like to thank the Milwaukee Fire Department for providing prompt medical attention to our officer."

The MPD is leading an investigation into the case along with a load of other cases of violence against police officers. It's the latest trend sweeping the nation.

On Wednesday, a Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Deputy was shot multiple times by a fleeing suspect. On Jan. 21, two New York Police Department officers, Rivera and Mora, were fatally shot while responding to a domestic dispute. Two days later, Harris County Precinct 5 Corporal Charles Galloway was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Houston. Four days after that, three Houston officers were shot and wounded while pursuing a suspect.

And then we saw Jacqueline Guzman, a former actress in New York City, complain about the memorial of Officer Rivera that had a "Sea of Blue" attend the memorial along the city's Fifth Avenue. She was fired from her acting job before ever getting the chance to be someone else.

Milwaukee recorded 23 murders — a 155% increase compared to nine homicides recorded during the same period last year — as of Monday, according to the medical examiner.
