Dispatch Audio: Kidnapping, Murder And A Puddle Of Blood On Detroit’s West Side

December 2, 2016 By John Roberts Leave a Comment

Von’s #3 Market/Liquor Store on Greenfield

Detroit December 1 2016: Strange case out of the west side this past Wednesday.

Around 430am a woman called the Detroit police and told the 911 operator that her son had been kidnapped and that the abductors were going to kill him.

Either her son called her or a friend of the son and told her that the son was in a blue van outfitted with a rack and that they were armed with a shotgun.

The caller; whoever it was, said her son was abducted from the Von’s #3 liquor store at 14918 Greenfield.

The mother, fearing for her sons life, went to the liquor store and found a big ol’ puddle of blood but her son was nowhere to be seen. That’s when she made the 911 call to Detroit Police.

A Detroit Police Officer responded to the liquor store on Greenfield and did in fact find what appeared to be a crime scene. again, lot’s of blood but no body.

The LEO on scene inquired about the location because of a large crowd that had been there earlier on the evening before. He was polling the dispatcher on whether or not there had been any reports of shootings at the location.

At around 9:37AM, Detroit Police dispatched a unit to the liquor store in order to secure the scene for FBI investigators.

The House on Marx St in Detroit…and a Van.

LEO’s got a tip for someone and the Detroit Police violent crime task force responded to a home at Marx St & Stender on Detroit’s north end. The house was placed under surveillance by I’m assuming the Detroit Police Department and the FBI.

Two subjects were seen leaving the residence in a blue van…with a rack…and a felony car stop was initiated.

Inside the van law enforcement officer’s found the body of the kidnap victim. Another version of the story has the person of interest tracked down and taken into custody at a house on Marx.

Whatever the story is, a 34 year old man is dead, a blue van is impounded, at least one person is in custody and a mother is grieving for her son, once again, in Detroit.

Names of the victim and those taken into custody have not been released.

And so it goes in Detroit.

Detroit Police Officer’s Save 4 Month Old Baby

Detroit Police Officers Save A 4 Month Baby Girl

DISPATCH AUDIO OF INCIDENT

With a combined experience level of 71 years, Neighborhood Police Officer (NPO) Douglas Nichols and Sgt Charles Spruce of the Detroit Police Department make quite a team.

Today while responding to a routine call on 8 Mile Road, NPO Nichols & Sgt Spruce noticed a crowd gathering on Conant Street & McNichols Rd.

A crowd had gathered around a vehicle where a baby had been placed on the hood of the vehicle.

The mother of a 4 month old baby told officer’s Spruce & Nichols her baby wasn’t breathing, to the point where the child was changing color.

The officers immediately declared a “Priority” on the departments radio frequency and requested Detroit EMS to the scene, but the situation was getting worse by the second.

Sgt Spruce and NPO Nichols then made the decision to convey the child to Children’s Hospital in their scout car.

Other officers, hearing the priority, initiated moves to block traffic along the route.

Sgt Spruce drove “hot” south on the I-75 and exited Warren where other Detroit Police officers were waiting blocking intersections leading to the hospital.

At one point a truck blocked their path but the pair were able to negotiate around it and safely deliver the baby to the doctors and nurses of Michigan Children’s Hospital.

On a good day, it’s 5.7 miles and a 9 minute drive to Michigan’s Children’s Hospital on Beaubien from Conant & McNichols, but today the pair made in approximately 5 minutes.

Later, NPO Nichols announced on the radio the baby was in guarded condition, had stopped breathing along the route but CPR was performed and she started breathing again.

He thanked those officers who gave them assistance on the way to the hospital.

NPO Nichols said during the interview that “something made him take the Davison exit” earlier while responding to the call on 8 Mile Rd….there’s a mother of a 4 month old baby girl that’s thanking that “something” tonight.

Sometimes God just puts us where we need to be….

The occupant of the vehicle in the roadway ran from the scene, leaving his Mini Cooper behind. That vehicle has been impounded and the driver is being sought. Shots were not exchanged with the second suspect apparently.

DPD says there was a second suspect in the officer involved shooting. Left his Mini Cooper behind. He’s long gone, “we are keeping his car”

“He was about 2 feet away from me and he turned around on me as I was chasing him and he fired, around 4-5 rounds at me”. – DPD Officer

A running gunbattle erupted between the suspect firing from the dwelling and pursuing officers as they ran between houses westbound from Hull Street towards Hanna Street.

Officer’s on scene described the suspect as wearing a blue hoodie, blue jeans and a black hat. The officer’s didn’t know if the subject had been hit by their return fire.

A total of 4 Detroit Police officers appear to have traded gunfire with the suspect.

Detroit Police helicopter air unit “Air 1” made the scene and began a search for the suspect.

Is The Media Culpable In Ohio State Attack?

November 15, 2016 By John Roberts Leave a Comment

No doubt you’ve heard about the attack at Ohio State University. A kid tackled an anti-trump/socialist protester on a set of stairs at the campus student union building. It’s all over the Internet so I doubt it’s missed your scrutiny. Unlike attacks on pro-Trump supporters, the media has aired attacks, or assumed/alleged attacks, on liberal democrat supporters nightly so I seriously doubt this has gone unnoticed by your social media timelines.

Incidents of vandalism with a pro-Trump slant have also been aired repeatedly. All of these attacks have been blamed on pro-Trump supporters. If blame hasn’t been placed on the backs of Trump supporters, it’s been insinuated. The word alleged is mysteriously missing from the media word pool of late too. Mysterious no? Anyway….

It appears as if the kid who tackled the speaker at @OhioState has Aspergers Syndrome. Thought he was tackling a Trump supporter. Poor kid. pic.twitter.com/gEhaj1UNuQ

The last week has been a violent one no doubt. Protests in major cities by disenfranchised non-voting liberals has been splashed all over our television screens. Stories of sad liberal students requiring counseling in major universities has also been mentioned, repeatedly, in the press. Crayons, coloring books, teddybears and round table crying fits have all been used as a way to lessen the impact of their political hack being ground to dust by half the countries voting population. Except for the conservative student body, but maybe we’ll write about that later.

In this media melee, the kid suffering from Aspergers Syndrome according to reports by friends, has been vilified by the mainstream media. The same media that has aired the disappointment experienced by bazillions of university students, anarchists and anyone looking for a good time in trashing cities across the nation.

He is not a Trump supporter. Stop spreading lies. He has aspergers. I know him. Please share the truth. https://t.co/e7iUbbIdp3

Los Angeles has seen freeways closed by groups of rioters and Portland, God love them,  has seen attacks on not only police but citizens as well. The reason according to the media, sadness, disappointment, a lack of voice. Those poor poor kids.

All through this period the media has been there, consoling the youth of America, understanding their disappointment in the democratic process. In essence, electing politicians to offices of responsibility should be a big city thing, rural areas in the midwest should be ignored.

Unfortunately the rural areas of this country have been ignored and the result is a Donald Trump administration starting on the 20th of January 2017.

Calls for abolishing the electoral college has been covered as well by the media, sometimes garnering the support of media hacks on cable news. Subverting The Constitution is the new thing now, media types all agreeing that there’s something wrong when their political hack loses an election they were sure to win. In most places of this country that’s called treason.

When media does try to offer its reading or listening public some common sense, the hack responsible is bullied by lesser known hacks and social media hit men/women from the left.

The @freep could do a public service this week and can Albom for good and hire new reporters. This is garbage. https://t.co/tNL1Q6yGL1

So this kid at Ohio State afflicted with Aspergers Syndrome has most likely watched the media and listened to his enlightened pals at Ohio State,  immersed himself in the media’s bloviating and came to the conclusion that violence is a proper response to diverging political opinions.

The media and university laid the groundwork, he was just carrying out what he thought was right.

So who’s at fault here, the kid with limited mental capacity or the media with limited mental capacity?

Your call.

Yer Pal,

The Detroit Scanner
