why do you pull over on a dark road around 130am to make a phone call, and why is the bad guy always a black male? I know this area, did the bad man just appear out of nowhere. (Moderated). Seems fishy…………i hope Officer K. Doyle # 303 is on this mission.

I agree with you #4 (big bad wolfie)..seems fishy to me too. First of all..Pulled over to make a call? Since when ?? They talk on the phone and drive all the time. #2..This man just came out of nowhere?? ..And you threw the keys on a rooftop when he threatened with a gun?? If you were that brave I don’t think you would have given him anything in the first place. I hope this gets investigated thoroughly.

First of all, I used to work nights, where I would be on the road as late (or as early?) as 3 AM. Reasons why this person was on the road at this time is irrelevant.

Second, I too pull over if I must make a call. Doesn’t matter the time of day or where I am (except for major highways)

James St is terribly lit, and has an incredibly high speed limit of 45 mph. which many drivers exceed, especially late at night.

Chances are, this person has the internet, and goes online, and possibly to news sites such as this one. If he is indeed a victim here, how do you think he would feel reading such judgmental posts?

Thats why Officer K. Doyle needs to be in the Db, he would have this case solved and the man where he deserves to be BEHIND BARS, with K. Doyle on cases nobody will get away wit hrobbing a Frum

What is going on here?! A sick incident happens and you’re blaming a guy for doing a terrible crime of pulling over on James st?!! What’s wrong with pulling over to make a call? Who ever heard of bricks flying through peoples windows?! If it’s unsafe to stop on James st at ANY TIME then there’s a big problem in this town. And don’t start blaming PD either;there’s only so much a force of less than 10 officers can do when they have to cover the whole of Lakewood during midnight shift.

What is going on in this town? When all this is happening we are in the middle of losing cops. We NEED to add to our police force, Lakewood is no longer a small town its a City. We need to help make it safe for someone to obey the law, the man did what was right and not drive while speaking on the phone.
