East Precinct Officer Matthew Cammarn, who has been named Officer of the Year, should be out of the hospital soon. He was trying to arrest Brian Shannon, 22, when Shannon and a crowd attacked him in one of Nashville’s projects as he tried to make the arrest.
Shannon is jailed on charges of felony aggravated assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, evading arrest, criminal trespassing, disorderly conduct and drug possession. A 17-year old was also arrested.
The officer, a hero cop, saw Shannon assaulting a woman when Shannon aggressively approached the officer who then tried to arrest him.
While Officer Cammarn was on the ground fighting with Shannon, people in a crowd pulled and pushed Cammarn to try and free Shannon. Others stood by recording the assault on their cell phones.
Watch as the crowd of loons attack the police officer.
My first thoughts exactly, Jack Murray!
But liberals think these project scum dwellers could get a job and be productive members of society. Uh huh yeah right. That’s why I carry concealed for moments like that.
They wonder why cops don’t go in the projects but the thugs would be the first to say where the police when one of them gets shot
If I were to just hear the sound track, without knowing what it came from, I would have guessed that it was a a pack of chimpanzees, fighting over some bananas.
Time to stop responding to calls where these attacks take place. Horrible people.
You took the words out of my mouth. Why was he there? Let em figure it out.
