NOPD Officer Shot, Chief Commends Him For Not Pulling His Weapon

This is where the chief loses me.
This is where the ridiculous SJW activism has led us. An armed man shooting at an officer is absolutely a deadly force encounter. The officer is being praised by the chief because he essentially let himself be used as target practice, most likely due to the fear of shooting the piece of shite and having his face plastered on CNN as a murderer.
This push to not use deadly force when deadly force is absolutely justified will get cops killed and will only further embolden the criminals that already have no regard for human life. This cop is lucky.

A New Orleans police officer was shot Thursday night on Tulane Avenue, according to EMS officials.
The shooting happened in the 3300 block of Tulane Avenue.
According to New Orleans police preliminary reports, Michael Baker, 19, was arrested in connection with the shooting.
At 9:30 p.m. officers responded to a suspicious person call. They were advised that someone was armed at the location.
When officers attempted to take the suspect into custody, the individual shot at the officer, striking him in the leg, according to NOPD Superintendent Shaun Ferguson.
This is where the chief loses me.

Ferguson said the officer who was shot showed great restraint, and never pulled his weapon.
The officer was able to detain the suspect and get inside the building at the location despite being struck in the leg, according to Ferguson.

this is exactly how the leaders of these cities want these situations handled. They're rather deal with a cop getting shot than deal with the angry mob when a POS gets shot.

Maybe there were innocent bystanders in the vicinity and he did not want to risk further gunfire exchange and killing an innocent citizen?

I'd rather that the cop would have just have shot him dead.
Posted on 4/12/19 at 10:21 am to TigersSEC2010
I'm guessing there's additional details that we don't know.

The officer should be fired immediately
We have no use for individuals that shoot at police officers
That scum needs to be killed on sight

Now the NO taxpayers get to pay for the cops medical bills and the cost of incarcerating a cop-shooting POS.

I know you're joking, but in actuality, he probably should be fired. Armed perp and you don't have your weapon drawn? Probably why he got shot in the first place.

According to this article: LINK
So, wasn't certain it was the suspect, patted him down, guy started a struggle. During said struggle, a-hole pulled out gun and shot officer in calf. Instead of disengaging and shooting, while also risking being shot again, officer simply maintained physical control over the suspect until help arrived.
Sounds pretty reasonable by the officer to me.

The shooting occurred about 9:15 p.m., as officers responded to a call of a suspicious person at a Shell station in the 3300 block of Tulane Avenue. The caller had reported that the suspicious person could be armed, Ferguson said.
Arriving at the Shell station, the NOPD officer spotted someone matching the description of the suspicious person and, while trying to pat the person down, became involved in a struggle.
The “individual fired his weapon" during that struggle, striking the officer in the right calf, Ferguson said.
“The officer continued to show restraint and professionalism,” detaining the person until help arrived, Ferguson said. “He never removed his weapon from its holster.”

And stuff like this from the chief is why police all over are hungry for new guys.

The police union needs to be all over this shite right here.

I would love to see Mr. Baker’s rap sheet at the tender innocent age of 19. I bet he had no business being on the street in the first place.

Ferguson is a danger to the NOPD community with that mindset.
Posted on 4/12/19 at 11:24 am to TigersSEC2010
Probably didn't want protests.

Are you a police officer?
Posted on 4/12/19 at 11:32 am to Joshjrn
Yeah sounds like he was already locked up with the guy when the gun was fired and just finished the take down.

When a perp pulls a gun I don’t care what the cop does next. You have it coming at that point.
