Im sure his dad is going through it right now emotionally and otherwise, especially being that he is the Chief of Police there.
The father ordered the hit to silence the dirty son. it had enough of him
He calling Ben Crump now
@round boy li Don’t be so damn heartless.
@mama gno one will miss pookie in a decent civilized society
Prayers for the reporter. Hope she gets the help she needs. 😔
I said the same thing. I’m like… What is she on… Prayers for everybody 🙏🏼
Metro..police…some crooked masons
🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣
Prayers for his parents. May they find it peace. Adults over 18yo make their own life choices. They cannot blame their parents forever.
No, but we can. If thats how his son acted with his father as an officer for the first 18 years of his life then I dont want to know what this chief did to his other kids to make them act like this.
Need to investigate this cheap a little further and more in detail if this is the kind of man he raises I hate to see how his department looks
Mary sounds like a bad parent, we are always responsible for our children, and as parents we drastically affect their future from childhood.
Should go back and ask the judges and DAs on all his previous cases for comments…. How are people like this still on the street continuing to victimize people? How many crimes and convictions over 20 plus years does it take? Idiots!!
Yeah what you said…👈😳
Cuz Dey Kangz and sheeit!
Cops are responsible when they let someone off with a warning, judges should be held to the same standards.
Oh wow. That poor chief. So sorry for him.
How very sad, for the family of this son. He chose a. life of crime; his Dad is a Police Chief.
I suppose he didn’t want to face him, nor go to prison, and took his life. Condolences and Prayers. 🙏🧡🙏
Both criminal no doubt.
I heard he had Mental Issues.
Saves us a trial. My prayers for his family and the victims.
My heart goes out to Mayor Drake and his wife, in addition to their entire family. This is a tragic time in their lives and I hope they’re given the time and privacy to recover. God bless them all and God rest this errant son’s tortured soul.
He’s the Police Chief son, not the Mayor’s son.
He’s CHIEF Drake. One of the best chiefs in the nation. Our mayor is Freddie O’Connell. My heart goes out to the chief and his family.
@jdstep97I haven’t seen anybody have prayers or their heart going out to the actual victims of the shooting yet……. Seems peculiar to me!!
Not the Mayor! Pay attention. He was the MNPD’s Police Chief.
Imagine growing up with every opportunity and turning out like this poor parents
It’s a cultural thing
U mean kultural thang
My condolences for Chef Drake and his family 🙏 this cannot be easy 😢… It doesn’t matter what our children do it’s never easy we still feel the pain 😢.
