Salt Lake City, Utah In a sickening move, the purported Facebook account of the cop who shot and killed Joey Tucker six years ago posted comments demeaning the life of the man he killed.
The damning comments, posted to a Facebook page set up by Tuckers family to memorialize their sons life, belittled the family of the dead man, taunting that his life was only worth $100,000; the amount of the settlement the family apparently received in a lawsuit related to Tuckers killing.
Tucker was gunned down by Salt Lake City police officer Louis Law Abner Jones, after he failed to pull over for the officer in what began as a non-emergency assistance call.
Earlier that day Tucker entered diabetic shock and began acting irrationally, after failing to take his insulin, according to Justin King of The Fifth Column News.

A person like that should never be allowed to own a firearm.
He belongs in prison for his assault on the family at the very least.

UNION LEADER SAYS FIRING OF OFFICER WAS POLITICAL
By Brian West, Staff Writer

Officer Louis A. Jones was fired from the Salt Lake Police Department on March 18 for conduct unbecoming an officer, misuse of a police vehicle and misconduct relating to drugs when he overdosed on some prescription medication.
Jones had returned to work after the Nov. 2, 1993, incident and worked as a patrol officer for nearly four months when Ortega decided to fire him. Jones' supervisor recommended a 30-day suspension, but a Citizen Review Board recommended termination, and Ortega followed that recommendation.
Salt Lake Police Association President David Greer said Ortega, who created the review board after becoming chief, concurred with the board's decision "for political reasons so he can say, `I've got this Citizen Review Board and I want to listen to them.' "
Jones is appealing the decision. "We're hoping the Civil Service Commission will have a cooler head about this than the chief did," Greer said.
Jones was taken by ambulance from his West Valley home to Pioneer Valley Hospital in the early morning hours of Nov. 2. "He took his wife's prescription medication and attempted an overdose," explained attorney Bryon Benevento.
