Nashville police chief orders manhunt for his own son
Nashville's police chief has ordered a manhunt of his own son after two cops were shot outside a Dollar General.
John C. Drake Jr., 38, is on the run after he allegedly pulled a handgun on the officers outside the store on Stones River Road in La Vergne, Tennessee around 2.20 pm Saturday.
Gotta give the guy credit. He admitted it was his son, who is estranged, wrapped up in a life of crime. What parent doesn't cringe at the thought? He's a cop, I get it, but that may be half the reason (rebellious youth and all). It better that he admits the facts of the situation and does the right thing (issue warrant, manhunt), then deflect, obscure, and try to bury the story, like so many others would, were they in his shoes. Takes courage to say "my Son's a fuckup."

ReplyDeleteSort of like Sam Bass except he hunted his son down himself.
ReplyDeleteLOL "Reversion to the mean" is a thing.
ReplyDeleteGotta keep it in the family, after all....
ReplyDeleteHe's a Mennonite. Should be easy to spot in a crowd.

ReplyDeleteAgreed.
DeleteGotta feeling the kid should have let Dad deal with him when he was younger. Looks like his Get Out of Jail Card is long gone.
