And people dont think Florissant is changing? I hope they hit him up on every charge humanly possible,. Our police force is the best out there and then for some hoodster to do this. I hope everyone is praying for this wonderful officer.

Jerk! I'm glad he was caught. I pray for a full recovery of the injured officer, and comfort for his family. Sooooo sad
:(

First of all prayers and support to his family at this difficult time and hopes of a speedy recovery. Secondly this guy never should have been on the streets, in 2010 he was convicted of burglary and theft in the Ladue and Clayton areas. Sentenced to 7 yrs. in prison but all he got was a suspended execution of sentence and given 5 yrs. probation and 120 days of "SHOCK TIME".

One less wanna be BAD, criminal off the streets for good!! What do ya know, he doesn't even LIVE IN FLORISSANT!!! And, Ladue & Clayton have robberies?? OMG, learning so much today :). In all sincerity the officer's wounds still sound very serious, we know he is a fighter, but he needs all the prayers he can get right now! It's not like the officer was up late protecting himself, he was protecting US!! God Bless Officer Vernon!!! Thank you for ALL you've done & continue to do for us!!

Sad thing is he was probably staying with someone in this area.Lets take florissant back from these hoods. Report things that you may feel arent important. Florissant checks it all out.

Sentence (Suspended Execution of Sentence)

I am guessing it didnt shock him.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mandie dont be mad that your son?, boyfriend?, or babys daddy? got caught. He will get whats coming to him.

Wow mandie....sounds like u should be or have been in trouble before.....such hate..but I bet if someone tried to hurt u or steal from u ....u wouldnt have a problem with the police helping u...i think ur coment sounded like a threat and ur butt should be in jail

So Mandie all cops are bad because you had a bad experience with two of them. I guess, using your logic, I can assume that all black people are bad because this guy did something horrible. There are bad cops and they get fired or put in prison just like you said happened. There are bad white people, blacks,

And many other groups of people. That doesn't make them all bad. Get a clue!

"Mandie" is the work of a professional Internet Troll. "Mandie" isn't black, and likely not a woman. It's some teenager getting his jollies getting a rise out of people. Ignore and move along.

Mandie your a real winner, let me tell you. I'm sorry to hear about your brother but he probably wouldn't have gotten beaten to death by "da police" if and when he did get apprehended and questioned if would have cooperated with the police. I know not all cops are honest and fair but unless you provoke and harass that stuff really isn't likely to happen. And lets face it by the way you are coming across on this blog I would be willing to bet he did not cooperate and did provoke and maybe even assualt the police You are a piece of ish that I'm sure is raising your child to be a fine upstanding criminal I'm sorry I mean citizen.

I apologize to everyone for the rude and disparaging remarks made by one of our users. We try to maintain a civil, clean conversation throughout the site, and we shouldn't have any further problems.

He is so young and he is a sweet person if u know him. he probably felt his life was in danger..the cops killed one of his friends in december shot him multiple times..but prayers do go out to both families..he does have a mother and father who loves him too and other of us too..nobody knows why things like this happen but everyone needs to stop racist comments because whitd people do this same thing, color is not an issue here..both are going through alot so pray for both sides...

Brian we are praying for u and we all love you..your family and friends are all thinking bout you in this time of saddness

How do you feel your life is in danger as you cower in a dumpster with im sure is an illeagal weapon ( I doubt he had a CCW ) and ambush a Police Officer? Gee I wonder if his buddy that was killed did the same thing. Remember the Police Officer was shot multiple times also. Its not racist its just the truth.

It isn't about race, it is what it is. This is the act of a coward who has willingly chosen this path......multiple times.

This is an act of an ignorant person who chose to come into florissant to rob and then injure one of our police officers.Shame on him and his family for the upbringing or maybe not guiding this Brian in the right direction. Too late he is done..

It's not for us to judge him. It's for court and a jury. And I hope the jury doesn't take very long to come back with a lot of jail time.

Michelle, i'm sorry and DO feel sorry for you losing a relative/friend for a crime HE chose to commit!! Unfortunatley, if you check statistics, people of ANY color who shoot police officers do NOT get an easy sentence. Luckily for you Brian intended to kill the officer but failed. Shooting multiple times at someone is attempted murder and he prob will NEVER be a free man. My prayers still with the officer as he put his life on the line to protect all of us again people like the one who shot him. God DOES see all, and all of us aren't judging it's a FACT he tried to kill an officer becuz he was about to be caught robbing someone else's house which obvioulsy is wrong and if you know the 10 commandment Thou shall not Steal should ring a bell. With this NOT being his first crime, I will pray for you because you will be losing him to the system BUT Officer Vernon can no longer WALK because of him and No ONE made him shoot but himself!!!!!!
