"It seems funny to me that not one person considers the fact that a warrant was issued for this address and police performing their duty moved to serve that warrant. In the process of serving a warrant police are faced with an armed man. Who cares what his name is? He is armed and he is at the address where the warrant is to be served. Had I been in the same situation, I would have shot him too.I assume not one person who has commented here is a police officer. I would also guess that each of you would expect these same police officers to protect you and your families from the harms created by drugs.
Cut through all the sly word play here and face the facts. This man was in a known drug house with a gun. Anyone with even a small amount of intelligence would realize that robbers dont come running in your home screaming POLICE!!
POLICE!! Its the police who do that. Face reality! The only people ever found in drug houses are drug addicts and drug dealers. This is a classic case of a biased liberal media persecuting those people doing a job that they themselves do not have the courage for. Why cant you just say thanks for doing things I am afraid to do. Cowards!!All thats missing here is Al Sharpton and the Reverand Jessie Jackson marcing up and down the streets of North Little Rock screaming justice to the drug dealer and burn those who serve and protect.
I hope we never have to actually live in the world you people would like to create. The world where crimes go unpunished because someone might get their feelings hurt. Where the idea of justice is the suit and slander of any with enough integrity to try and make our world better.All that said I do express my sympathies to the family of Tracy Ingle. I knew him in high school and we were friends."
I would like to point out to you that this was NOT a drug house, Tracy is NOT a drug dealer, NO drugs were found in the home AND the police DID NOT identify themselves. We have a witness who confirms this who saw the entire incident. There WAS a police SWAT member standing at the window watching Tracy sleep.
Let me state for the record that I AM prior law enforcement and I understand Arkansas Law.
Let me point out that FEDERAL law requires for an issuance of a no-knock warrant that the PERSON for whom the warrant is for either have a known violent record or the police MUST have reason to believe evidence would be destroyed while waiting for the door to be opened.
Well, Tracy has NO violent past or record. He was asleep in his bed so clearly IF evidence did exist it was not being destroyed.
Lastly, it is NOT against the law in Arkansas to grab a gun for protection when you are fearful for your life. Tracy had no way of knowing these men were police until they were in his room and according to the eye witness, Tracy had laid the gun down once the first officer entered the room. It was the officer whom was outside looking into his bedroom window (with the lights on) who yelled, "he's gotta fu**ing gun" and began shooting. Don't you think one shot would have been sufficient? Hell, the first shot blew his leg off and he was on the floor.
This is not a case of the Media not giving you all of the information.....This is a case of serious police corruption and cover up and Tracy is the latest victim. Take your blinders off or step out of your little box my fellow American and see the truth for what it really is. This good have just as easily been you and how would you feel about people making comments like yours about you.
The North Little Rock Police Department has a vast history of corruption if your not aware let me know....
and might I suggest next time you wish to so passionately speak your mind about a topic you know very little about, yet claim to have been a friend and classmate of the victim, then go the extra mile an identify yourself...............

I don't really have the time to waste on people who refuse to identify themselves but for the sake of answering your question:
1) Oather Lee Fulmer, Jesse Pearson and Jim Hamilton - False police reports, drug manufacturing, largest Meth bust in Arkansas and illegal payoffs. Do you homework my friend.
