Hey Yitzcock, how about you shut your mouth and stop trying to act like a tough guy. The Officer went thru a traumatic experience and you have to bring something irrelevant up. Grow up you child
Come on Yitz, stop mixing politics into everything. Thankful the Police Officer is safe! Thanks for protecting us 365 days a yr!
A grateful Jackson resident

Thank you to this officer and all of the Jackson PD for putting their lives on the line for our safety. No one wants the trauma of having to shoot someone, even if lawfully so as in this instance. Hope he is well and with his family for the holidays.
