Good Job, Aberdeen Police!
I hope the police behaved like gentlemen and didn’t demean the poor child in any way. Heaven forbid we might have upset his self esteem. Face facts, he probably didn’t have a lot of advantages when growing up. If he can fit into any of the multiple minority classes we should probably pay him for his misdeeds.
Am I the only one who is really getting sick of the namby pamby BS that the social engineers keep tossing around. I hope and pray that the kids who were at work at the Burger King aren’t significantly damaged by this incident.
How about the parents of the employees get a chance to beat the living crap out of Mr. Booker?
First mistake – choosing to rob a place where they have their own local police force. Second mistake – thinking you could flee on foot.
Mr. Booker has been brought up on 10 charges. This is not his first run-in with the law…
I Agree Aberdeen P.D. put the jerk’ where he belong’s. I’am sorry to say if it had been me doing the arrest. I believe Mommy’s Bouncing Baby Boy, would have had and accident.
just a little something’ to remind him crime does not pay. well he most likely has robbed before and never caught.& will do it again.
Good work Aberdeen P.D.
Just a rumor but I heard that Mr Booker has requested and is awaiting a “bail out” from the White House.
I heard that the arrest was just minutes after the robbery and that there was a foot race that ended in a tackle and that a gun was recovered. Darn fine work from the APD and hats off to officers who put fear aside and engage in hands on contact with a guy armed with a gun. Good Job!!
Feeless Groper a bail out is assured. Nothing is to good for our criminal’s.
Oh no! Did the police hurt poor Mr. Booker in any way? I sure hope the NAACP or ACLU or some other useless bunch of pussbags jump in there to defend this poor guy. What difference does it make that he had a gun? He has a right to defend himself. Everyone knows that JR, Todd and Will are nasty rogue cops and the bad guys have every right to protect themselves. Feeless Groper knows what he’s talking about. The White House is looking hard at helping the less fortunate. Speaking of which I heard this morning that the White House has directed the Pittsburgh Steelers to turn in four of their Superbowl trophys. The League will then redistribut them to less fortunate teams like Detroit and Buffalo.. God, I love fairness!
Know it was a long time ago but just wanted to let everyone know that Kevin Booker ended up getting sentenced to 15 years and 5 years probation – what he will actually serve will likely be less but I did want to commend the officers for their swift action – APD was literally on the scene in less than a minute and got the guy…crazy night for me but I think justice was served in this instance…
