[ramseycat]

Ramsey mentioned this tragic and senseless murder of a Georgia police officer in another thread.

It happened early yesterday morning.


RIP Officer Kevin Jordan, left.

Also pictured: the drunken dipshits involved in the incident that killed Officer Jordan -- felony murder suspects Michael D. Bowman and Chantell Mixon; and disorderly conduct suspect Tyler Taylor.

Officer Kevin Jordan had been on the force for four years. He was also a former Marine. Jordan was working an overnight security shift in uniform at a Waffle House restaurant in Griffin when two men and a woman caused a disturbance around 2:30 a.m. Jordan escorted them to the parking lot, when the woman identified as Chantell Mixon began physically fighting with him.

Jordan was attempting to arrest Mixon when one of the men, Michael Bowman, fired at the officer's back. Police believe Jordan was shot five times. At least one bullet penetrated the bulletproof vest Jordan was wearing.

Officer Jordan's brother, Raymond Jordan, had come to the restaurant to visit and fired his weapon, striking Bowman. Raymond Jordan has a valid permit in Georgia. Suspect Bowman is in critical but stable condition.

Officer Jordan leaves behind seven children.

The news showed part of his funeral. I had to turn it off. I was sobbing. It's so sad.
