Over 40 tear gas grenades in a four hour assault... For those of us who deal with CS gas the end result was very predictable as the on scene commander would know. This was nothing short of an unwarranted execution by the Chesterfield Police Department.<br /><br />Once the Chesterfield Police Department finishes investigating itself the Federal Bureau of Investigation will conduct a civil rights/police corruption investigation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-84523599872715741222011-02-11T09:53:36.542-08:002011-02-11T09:53:36.542-08:00I wondered if he may have had a chemical imbalance...I wondered if he may have had a chemical imbalance at the time.

Rick was one of the kindest, nicest and smartest man I have had the pleasure to work with during my 20 odd years in the Criminal Justice system. This was a no win situation, but for the life of me I just don't understand what happened to my friend, My prayers are with his family, friends and the many people Rick worked so hard to help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-77606622594581291822011-02-01T11:25:34.028-08:002011-02-01T11:25:34.028-08:00Really???

I can assure the public that Rick never shot in his home nor held his family hostage. The police made an anthill into a mountain. They were told to leave several times by the wife whom said everyone was ok. When they established face to face contact they should have left obviously they were fine. I blame the police for his murder they violated every single right of not only Mr ferris but his family and children as well. You should be embarresed to call yourselfs a police department...serving the public pfffff laying a father of four children in a coffin for no reason is sickining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11646417.post-86792412491711352002011-01-29T20:48:26.016-08:002011-01-29T20:48:26.016-08:00I would like to apologize to the commenter that tr...I would like to apologize to the commenter that tried to post. I feel like your comment was legit - but I don't let anyone trash anyone when that person no longer alive. I hear you - and I agree with this part of your comment: "...And yet, people are continue to blame the Police for killing the guy. He FIRED on police were people really expecting a different outcome?..."<br /><br />It sounds like the police had options and the one they chose is not surprising. Officers have a hard job. There are so many police killings and I have no expectation that police not shoot back. <br /><br />I am sorry to the family, friends, and co-workers of Mr. Ferris.Behind The Blue Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429113203939514642noreply@blogger.com
