And how many people will be screaming "We need more gun laws"... vs screaming 'why in the heck is this guy out walking around ??'

How is this guy not in prison ???? Hmmm, the root of the problem is... lets see... yea, we need more laws (and more GFZ's too, right?).

OK, rant mode off

The record doesn't show his juvenile record I sure he has been well known to the police long before 2009.

A long time career criminal the crime rate in his area will fall now as he is no longer with us.

Thanks. Is there another .40 cal round out there other than S&W? And, does Glock have a pistol chambered in that round, if one exists.

You can find almost anything if you look for it. There is no other .40 round that is common other than .40 S&W.

.40S&W is a shortened case 10mm round. S&W developed the .40 for the FBI who found the 10mm too much.

I believe Glock's .40 pistol was released before S&Ws. Older Glock .40 pistols have " .40SW" stamped on the chamber. I think they just say .40 now.

The current information says Hendricks was shot in the arm and the hand, today he had surgery to repair damage and try to keep him from losing his hand.

Apparently the whole incident from initial police contact, until he was shot and put in custody, only lasted a few minutes at most, but two connected hospitals were under lockdown for over two hours.

Pretty much every day I am glad I don't live in milwaukee, chicago, detroit, nawlins, etc. I often why people other than criminals and welfare sponges live in such places.

I live here in Milwaukee, because I have friends, family and customers in the area, and when the bad guys drive the good guys out of town, they will have won.

My Springfield has 40SW stamped on the barrel.

.40 S&W was called the Freedom .40 for a while, to avoid having to give credit to the UN-creditable.

In my post #2, I added the new charges which include charges from the incident at Children's Hospital.

Although it was not made public for a few days, apparently the baby he was holding when the Milwaukee Police approached him, was later dropped or thrown and sustained a skull fracture.

How did he get inside a GFZ?!
Maybe the signs weren't big enough or easy to see?
WI should require large obnoxious signs like TX, and standard sign design & placement like KS.

So as an "adult" he's been found guilty of 5 felonies and 1 misdemeanor,
had 3 felonies & 1 misdemeanor read in,
and now has another 4 felonies & 1 misdemeanor pending.
And he's what? 22?
I'm going to be judgmental here and say that this person is not open to rehabilitation and should be kept away from polite society and good citizens for many many years.

Maybe if he had 1 more felony on his record, he wouldn't have gotten that gun? /sarcasm

That's nice.

I'm going to be objective and point out that, in that litany of "criminal offenses" posted above, every single one was an act of aggression on the part of the state up until 11/14 when, fleeing agents of the state which had in the past repeatedly aggressed against him, he dropped a baby.

While dropping the baby may be argued as negligent, the aggressive state shares blame. Consider who you would blame if a mother dropped & injured her baby when fleeing an armed assailant.

Bail-jumping resulting from aggressive prosecution of non-crime offenses is also not aggressive, and therefore also not meaningfully criminal.

So, basically, what you have is a non-aggressive, quite possibly harmless individual, harassed by the state for much of his adult life, and now recently shot by that state.

And what do y'all point to as justification? The litany of abuses this man suffered at the hands of a criminal state.

How can you possibly justify this analysis to yourself? Frankly, I'm disgusted by it.

I don't believe drug dealers to be harmless individuals.... Nobody forced him to use and sell illicit drugs... He is reaping what he has sown..

1/06/2009 Possess w/Intent-Designer Drug (>3-10g) / Felony E / Read In
3/25/2009 Possess w/Intent-Cocaine (<1-5g) / Felony E / Guilty Plea

Which of those did the state do to him?
He possessed the drugs, he ignored the terms of his bail, he tried to out-drive police, he possessed a firearm.
The only one it doesn't specifically say he pled guilty to is the fleeing, and that's a read-in so he agreed with the charge.

not aggressive, and therefore also not meaningfully criminal.
Crimes are still crimes even if they're not violent.

Apologist
And I wouldn't call someone who points a gun at innocent people 'harmless', nor would I apply that to someone who possesses illegal and dangerous drugs with intent to sell them.
