good call on the D>A>

Jim thanks for your comment. I thought the community should know the whole story. I feel bad for the family but many others have been through some similar situations.

This also clears the officers who did what they were trained to do. I can't imagine what they went through after the finger pointing. Maybe now the healing can begin for the family and the community.

At least this sets the record straight.

I'm sorry, but this doesn't say a thing as for what really happened. I want to know how an unarmed man, versus two police officers, goes from questioning to killing. Yes killing. That's what needs to be answered.Justified, Yeah!!!.We have heard two many stories, and when one officer is fighting with a suspect and another officer comes on the scene, the one officer not in the fight, is not going to shoot the suspect without fearing possibly shooting your own partner. My son was shot twice in the head, at close range. That's not a shot or shots that one officer would take to protect another. Also, where was the officers gun? Did my son have the gun out and ready to use it or was it still in the holster? It doesn't say that. The above report says there was a subject, not subjects. Where were the other guys? In all the reports that we have read, it says there were numerous subjects. Where are they? Where is the video, that shows the subjects, where is the stolen property?, Also, its says my sons car. That car belongs to a Sean Hensley, who was arrested by the Navy for theft. The items were his and not my sons. But it is easy to blame the dead guy. Oh yeah, supposedly these crimes were going on for a while, and this was my sons first time to this area. He was deployed and just came from Texas on leave. There are alot of questions that need to be answered, so don't think this is over. Oh yeah, I would like to see who invited me to come up to baltimore.

Ooo. Need some cream for that burn?! That was intense!!

Ha Ha Buzz got busted in a fabrication again.

His creditability <sic> is zero.

Why do you continue to deny the truth? Read what I wrote. All the rules were followed and they bent over backwards to get the truth. What was your son doing with the stolen merchandize in the car? What was he doing on the street at 2:15 am?

That's like criticizing our troops who engage combat and second guessing their action when your weren't there.

There are three issues, one the timing of he incident 2:15 am, second what the witnesses saw and third the confrontation. If your son was with Sean then he is involved according to the law. Why did he just not answer the officers questions? Why did he resists? The officer suffered injuries and you don't get those by talking.

As soon as your son became combative and made an attempt at going for the officers weapon the lives of the officer became at stake. You don't wait for the suspect to get hold of the weapon.

Tell me how many police officers are killed with their own weapons in similar incidents?

Is it not possible that before the police arrived that the suspects split up and headed in different directions. You seem to deny any evidence that is presented. Your mind is closed.

Isn't is strange I received three request on Facebook from members of your family to be friends. What was the reason for that because judging by your response I doubt I would be considered a friend because I wrote the facts according to the law.

I can imagine what you are going through but the police did what they were trained to do.

Buzz,

Love is blind.

"According to an officer inside the Homicide Division who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the division has been in touch with Mr. Lopez’s father, who is also from Texas and a law enforcement officer. "

In other words,Beeker just made it up.

Frank have some respect for the incident and family. Crawl back into your hole.

You and Steve all are part of the problem. No wonder every hates both of you. You have no respect for anything.

Frank your grammar is atrocious.

If you want to play your childish and immature games go to another topic. Show some respect for the family of Mr. Lopez. No matter what the situation it is not easy to deal with.

Here's the issue. I'm not saying Josh was perfect. I'm not saying he never made mistakes. Even if he was flawless in my eyes. "Lol" here's what I am gonna say. Sean talked Josh into taking his vehicle to drop off the friend in Maryland. It's a what, approximately 6 hour drive. They left Saturday afternoon arrived in Maryland 6 hours later. That's why they were there so late. Sean wasn't even there but it was his stolen property in his vehicle. Again, I'm not saying josh was perfect... He may or may not have been doing illegal things that night... But the stolen property they are talking about belonged to Sean since it was his car... he was later arrested for that but then charges were dropped despite a few other shipmates testifying against him.

Lastly. According to the police report, the injury that officer twisdale received was basically a slap on the hand. Also, his dad, Mr. Lopez has received no invitation to talk. In fact, he has called numerous times and has gotten no where. You're not going to convince me that two officers who claimed they used batons and whatnot to subdue him couldn't take down a 5'7 man who was unarmed. From what we've been told, Josh was in a bear hug on the ground with the other officer and that's when Officer Jacob Heins shot him... In the head... Twice.... If y'all label combative as touching an officers hand and that justifies two shots to the head, I don't even want to know what a punch to the gut would cause. Although, y'alls track record shows just how trigger happy y'all are. We want to know the truth. Things don't make sense to us... Or other people... Including law enforcement people who have contacted us just to tell us that everything sounds wrong. I realize Josh is gone and he's not coming back... But because I had to watch our wedding date come and go without getting married, I'd like to hear one story that doesn't contradict the other ones that we've been told. I'd also appreciate if it makes sense.

However, for now, I'll continue to lean on God and family for comfort and pray that he helps me to forgive both officers and the roommates. I intend on meeting officer Heins face to face one day, but not before I've completely forgiven him. I need to put a face to the name of the man who murdered my best friend, someone who I have known since I was ten years old, someone who I was ready to marry even if it meant leaving my family and friends behind in Texas to support the most amazing man I've met.

Melisa stop using the word murdered. That is not true. You are not family and have no business making those statements.

Instead of using your heart solely add your brain to that equation. You really think this officer wanted to go through this and just murdered your love.

You need to do some soul searching. Accusing a police officer of murder is a serious accusation and judging by your statement I would ponder those words.

I just wrote what the police said happened. You choose to ignore it. Read page two of the report on the officer's injuries.

I am curious, why did you send me a friend request on Face Book? I know who you are but that is your business. Seek out the truth and ask to meet with the detectives over these issues. Unless you know all the facts I would suggest you temper your words.

The one thing I asked Mr. Lopez and have not received and answer, what was is son doing out at 2:15 am in the morning. The car was nearby with evidence in it. There were eyewitnesses that pointed the police in the right direction.

You know nothing about police work and that slap you refer to could have something to do with the officers weapon. You were not there remember!

You say Mr. Lopez received no innovation to talk and yet why has he not responded to my question? He brought it up. As the father don't you think it makes sense for the police to interview or talk to Mr. Lopez about his own son?

Here is who you are dealing with:

"Beeler said, "I know that Mimi takes care of the Parkville Police and we should not hassle him." Beeler also stated, "I am going to ISD [the Internal Affairs Section which investigates police conduct] and complain about this harassment that your guys are putting on Mimi, there's no problem here, this is more of Lowe's [Lt. Lowe] bullshit, everytime he works this place gets hassled." Sergeant Webster testified that Beeler "advised me that the police should leave Mimi alone because he takes care of all of the Parkville Police. I asked him what he meant and he said, you know what I meant." In addition to the presence of other police officers, there were several citizens in the vicinity when Beeler made his remarks. Some of the officers were angered and embarrassed by Beeler's remarks."

Keep pushing Mr. Lopez. Eventually the truth will come out.

You are correct I did uncover misconduct and the case was adjudicated and the rules changed.

What I wrote was he truth. Why don't both you craw back into that part of society where you belong or uncover evidence that will prove something contrary to what I wrote.

Neither of you have anything to do with this except your obsession with me.

Frank your grammar is still atrocious. All you two have become are trolls.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29

Here is who you are dealing with:

"Look at the article and the documents. I'm sorry, I can't hear the Ha Ha."

"You are string up things you should stay out of."

" You have had you movement..."

"how can you make a conclusion based on some facts when you can't even follow the rules on how to write them if they were indeed the real facts which they are not."

"Your gas graph from 1918 does not follow standard protocol for compassion."

"You do not start a sentence with the number 2. I can't hear you laughing. This site does not have sound."

"My question is why did they let Quirk walk when his business is as a finical adviser. Like Buck said integrity is part of it and I know Quirk who at one time was my finical advisor. What a mistake that was after a buddy checked Morningstar I was shocked on what he did with my money."

Looks like a clean and justified shooting. Good job, officers. We owe these fine men a debt of gratitude for protecting the community.

Who are you and your buddy concerned about me or Mr. Lopez? Your obsession has become a full blown illness and that is sad.

You don't care about this family. All you care about is yourselves.

"Sergeant Webster testified that Beeler "advised me that the police should leave Mimi alone because he takes care of all of the Parkville Police. I asked him what he meant and he said, you know what I meant.""

So what did you mean Beeker?

"According to an officer inside the Homicide Division who spoke on the condition of anonymity, the division has been in touch with Mr. Lopez’s father, who is also from Texas and a law enforcement officer. Mr. Lopez (the father) was invited to come to Baltimore County and meet with investigators."

More fabrication.

Sucks to be a midget doesn't it BO?

LMAO...sucks to be a pathetic, scrawny teenager with Walter Mitty-esque fantasies while being exiled in Mom's basement, isn't it "Stank"?

Let me remind you that you weren't present that early morning either... Just in case you have forgotten. I didn't know I had to have the same blood as him to be family. I'll remember that next time. It was murder... And I'll call it whatever I want to. When someone dies at the hands of someone else's action, its murder. Facebook... Lol... About that... I liked your picture. It was pretty. His father hasn't responded because he's been at work. I would know, I'm living with family.

This is joshua's mother....batons to be used below the collar bone and down. My son had strangulation marks ..lumps and indentions and numerous bruises to his face that was Cleary seen through the dark makeup that was used to cover the bruises...I could not touch my sons face because it was reconstructed. Five different scenerios. All different stories. Which should our family believe?

My husband has not been invited by anyone anywhere. Joshua"s car was in Virginia. Sean' s car was found. The other suspects heard the gun shots. An anonymous person witnessed what happened and made a fake facebook page saying don't believe what they are printing. And then another. I am not angry but have a heart to forgive those that do wrong and justify their wrong by fabricating stories. Five different stories told to our family. Our calls have not been all taken. We get the run around.

Also I (his mother) plan to visit the very spot if was shot in. Bring a bucket or two, scrub brushes and cleaning materials to cleanup any blood that people were so disgusted by. I want the truth and will go through whatever it takes to find out what really happened that night. I friend requested you for you to get to know our family and where Joshua came from. To read our day to day before and after josh's death. I spoke on the phone that day with Joshua as he was driving about his soon to be nuptials...in fact he spoke with us all that day. A man that as a boy never was insubordinate and stayed home on the weekends and held down three jobs at one time in his life. After almost four years in the navy decides to become combative with an officer. No dash cam? I want to pictures of my dead sons body and the pictures of the officer in the struggle. He would have blood splattered on him and possibly brain matter. He had gloves but they found fingerprints?which is it ?

I along with my family (MRS. LOPEZ) would love to look the officer in the eye and forgive him. But we would like one story..the truth....we have been told five different things of what happened that night. As far as fb goes....for once get to know the people behind Joshua. For a moment think how you would feel if someone died in your family and you were different things. Would you ant answers and proof?I

There' s been collections and donations taken up from some of his shipmates parents that want to help us discover the entire truth.....and two networks are interested coverage of the story...five scenerios....why not one story ...why the five?

Bottom line: if you act suspiciously and in a thuggish manner, get in a fight with the police, and then repeatedly attempt to pull a gun from an officer then you're taking your life into your own hands.

That's what happened here.

Buzz, truly this was none of your business and the public's need to know was satisfied by the District Attorney's statement.

Anything that you did to involve these grieving people in your online hallucination was just plain and simple WRONG.
