IMPD Officer Shot At Least 3 Times On The West Side Of Indianapolis. Do we see this city discussing this, talking about this? And can we discuss the damage done by years of the “defund the police” movement?

Tony Katz:

So, an officer was shot. The story at wibc.com IMPD officer shot at least three times in a confrontation, on the West side. One suspect was also shot. 3 taken into custody.

There’s an IMPD District officer in a fully marked car, activated emergency lights to stop the vehicle. 4 suspects were in the vehicle. 1 male passenger immediately ran from the vehicle; two others exited the vehicle. As reported by WIBC, a quote from IMPD Assistant Chief Michael Walley. One of those passengers walked around to the front of the vehicle began firing in the direction of the officer. The IMPD officer was struck by gunfire at least three times, returned fire resulting in an officer involved shooting. And you’ve got, you know, Chief Bailey saying, when does this stop?

Same questions asked, when, at what moment? Do we see this city discussing this, talking about this? And can we discuss the damage done by years of the “defund the police.” “The cops did this. The cops are always guilty. The cops are always the problem.” They’re not always the problem. Sometimes they do wrong, and we should be aggressive about that every day. No, no, no, no, no, no. That’s just not the case. It is the 4th IMPD shooting of 2025, the second this month. Um, there were 17 that took place in 2024. So, let’s have less. I’d be very, very happy to see that.
