@wrong - saw a cop do that again - this time on 123. stepped right in front of a SUV. Lady must have been going at least 50-some to 60-some MPH I reckon - prolly a MUCH FASTER SPEED than what those kids were doing in an IHOP parking lot.

Cops do that all the time, yo. It's their job to STOP lawbreakers.

And normal ppl when breaking the law actually stop for them - seen it happen twice in the last week. Cops steps out in front of traffic and lawbreaker stops. That's what NORMAL PEOPLE do.

Now if you are a punk thug, then you may act differently, I guess........................

No shootings today??

NO YOU DUMB FUCKIN ASSHOLE - ANYONE WHO TRIES TO RUN OVER A COP DESERVES TO GOT SHOT IN THEIR FUCKING HEAD WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!!! BRAINS AND SHIT ALL OVER THE FUCKIN PAVEMENT! YEAH BITCH WHAT WHAT

I knew Aaron Robert Brown. He was a very good friend to me during my stupid teenage years. You all may know him as some kid who got killed at IHOP, but to me he was a brother and dear friend. Ever year at the end of Febuary since 2006 has been a sad, sad time for me. There are still vigils for him every year.

Facts/ Set things straight from other posters:
-There were no female passengers
-Its still not totally clear whether or not they didn't pay the whole bill, or didn't tip
-There were no death threats. It's just not that crowd. In memory of Aaron, GuitarsNotGuns was founded
-Aaron was involved in all types of community activities and projects
-He was a guitar prodigy. He was seriously talented. He could play anything with strings. And all kinds of music.
-He always wore a smile. A genuine one.
-His parents are the most kind and gracious people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Before all this happened, they allowed me and a few other friends to use their several acre property out near Front Royal for a weekend. We just asked and they threw us the key. They are very simple people, Aaron was their only child and it was evident that they devoted everything in their entire lives to raising him. They knew and still know every one of his friends. They are loving people. They still live their same simple lives and I know for a fact that the money has gone to good use. I also know that they'd give it all back and then some if they could have Aaron back. I'll never forget the funeral...

I wrote this for Aaron this year sometime at the end of Febuary:

Hey Aaron, I miss you man. Nothing will bring you back and it's been years since you passed but I still think about you from time to time. What a fucking tragedy. If anyone didn't deserve to go, it was you. And you know that. And we all do. That's why it was and is still so hard to let you go.

Although it's been years my brother, I remember you like it was just yesterday we'd hang outside the caferia during lunch and sit under that big oak tree. When I moved to FCPS in eighth grade and I didn't know anyone, my very first day you came up to me and invited me to come and sit with all of your friends. You looked like such a hick to me. I couldn't have been more wrong. Introduced me to about ten to fifteen kids, a few of which who came to be very good friends. Thanks for that, thanks for saving me from having to sit in that huge lunchroom all by myself.

And then a couple years later you taught me how to palm mute. You ended up letting me borrow a huge speaker a few months before you passed. It still sits in my living room despite the fact that I never use it. My girlfriend thinks it's hideous and has been trying to plot ways to get rid of it, but I told her it's not happening.

You're not forgotten my brother. We all miss you, and we'll never forget you. It's true, what they say. Only the good die young. Not just a cheesy song anymore. Rest in peace my beloved brother, I hope to see you on the other side. Maybe we could jam out again?

This is perfect to sum up a response to any of the absurd posts I've read throughout this thread, not that I expected any different around here. I don't expect much positive response from mourning a friend on here but I knew Aaron as well. I met him in the 6th grade and we maintained a very friendly interaction all the way up until his death even though we weren't part of the same clique. We had classes and socialized enough for me to have very fond memories over the years.

Let he who hasn't smoked a little reefer and gone out joy-riding with some friends late at night cast the first stone. Kids make mistakes, I had my own run-ins with the law at the same point in my life. the situation escalated faster than anyone involved could handle. For those of you who love to "blame the parents", you couldn't be more wrong. It is quite obvious where Aaron got his kindness and solid character from. They raised a very well-rounded and considerate son. From the halls of O.W. Holmes middle school to the Annandale campus of the local community college he never failed to smile and greet me with sincerity.

This dude really is missed dearly and it's evident in the Annandale/North Springfield community every year where they still celebrate his life. I hope my future children are lucky enough to make such a friend.

He ran out on a check and attempted to kill the cop who tried to stop him and for his efforts, got a bullet in the head.

Too bad, so sad, but he got what he deserved.

He wasn't driving. Very unlikely he was doing anything but sitting in a vehicle someone else was driving. Get it? Now I'm not really big on killing people over pancakes but I could almost see some logic in the cop shooting the driver of the car if he really felt his life was in danger. If you have a sensible argument for shooting unarmed teenagers traveling in a moving vehicle then make your argument. Otherwise you're just flapping your big stupid yap.

The teen who left money on the table - his first name was included in the official investigative report - was never interviewed by the police.

That's a lot of pancakes.

So your argument is that the cop killed the wrong guy?

Stupid is as stupid does.

Forget IHOP, try the pancakes at First Watch. Holy shit, they are amazing!

The cop was wrong. I saw very few inteklligent posts here. The cop jumped in front of the car. How does that car stop when the cop jumps in front of it when it is a couple of feet away. They settled out of court because if it went to jury, they would have paid a lot more. Shooting out tires is silly. Bul;lets richochet off rubber tires. Most departments have rules that say do not shoot at or from a moving vehicle. This isn't TV. The cop could have just gotten the tag and called in for scout cars to stop them down the road or go to the owner's house. Most of you are nuts! Reaching for a gun is not the solution for someone stealing some food. Jumping in front of a moving car if not the smartest move. It outs a lot of people at risk. Suppose you were standing in that parking lot and the cop did hit the driver and as he was bleeding out, he swerved and hit YOU?

You're a couple of years late, but thanks for your opinion Bob

Thanks for reminding all of us for the commendable work of the cop for taking out the trash. Wish more scumbag libtards got the same treatment.

JUSTICE SHALL PREVAIL

Really I'd say someone who was in the car is finally having regrets for not paying their bill. But still blaming the police for their dumb ass friends.

" mistakes"

i hear the IHOP shooting was NOT un-related to the officers shot later

(two officers leaving dept. shot by "a crazy guy"), who was partly crazy by the shooting of someone the person knew, i heard, among being hounded by police and some other trigger factors (not that the guy wasn't crazy)

they don't always like telling the full story, fx. co., do they ?

after which fx. co. sued the parents of the adult (over 21) to take their house

the parents had a good claim they knew nothing of it and had not willingly supplied a weapon - and there is no evidence they had

did they tell you that part ?

that fx co took the parents house and stuffed the money in their pockets without any proper charges ?

i'm really pro officer however i AM NOT pro theft or pro altering of history

Seems we have a decision in this case?
