Body Cam Theater! Today’s Episode . . . “One Shot One Kill”

The star of today’s show is one Kenneth Martell, a thug wanted for murder in Pennsylvania. He was dispatched with a single shot to the head by police, but there will be no protests, no rioting, no calls for police reform, because this carcass was white. Yes, that’s right folks. Contrary to what the media wants us to believe, cops kill white people too. And good for them! This guy was a piece of crap.

Authorities have released dashcam and bodycam footage of a murder suspect pulling a gun on a Lakemoor police officer and attacking her in July. Lakemoor Police Officer Brianna Tedesco was on routine patrol at around 5 a.m. on July 24, 2018, when she came across an occupied SUV on a narrow gravel road near Four Seasons Boulevard & Sullivan Lake Road.
The Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office said that the man inside the car, Kenneth E. Martell, 36, of Meadville, Pennsylvania, was wanted for murder after he tied, robbed, beat and stabbed to death 88-year-old Theodore Garver in his Beaver Township, Pennsylvania home three days prior.

Kenneth Martell before he sported an extra hole in his head.

Officer Tedesco found Martell lying down inside the vehicle. She asked him for identification and he gave her a fake name. Officer Tedesco then asked Martell for written identification and he pointed a handgun at her head. “It became apparent that the tender of a piece of paper was designed to distract Officer Tedesco from what Martell was about to do,” Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim said.

A struggle ensued and the two began fighting over the gun. Lakemoor Police Officer Anthony Loiacono, who was the backup officer to Officer Tedesco, arrived at the scene. He fired one shot, which struck Martell in the head, after he saw the man was armed with a handgun in each of his hands,

A two gun shooter! Just like in “Unforgiven!” Two Gun Corky Martell! I’m so excited! Fortunately for the officers, neither of those guns did him any good. Watch this, and be advised, it gets bloody.

Nerheim said. Martell was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. An autopsy showed that Martell had numerous traces of drugs in his system at the time of his death. “Based upon the facts gathered in this investigation and a review of the applicable Illinois Statutes, Officer Loiacono acted reasonably and appropriately. Martell’s acts of deception and lies to Officer Tedesco were a prelude to an ambush,” Nerheim said in his released final report.

Yes, the shooting was obviously justified but I really think these two officers got pretty lucky here. I’m going to be critical. Both are clearly out of shape. The female officer was unable to physically handle Two Gun Martell and it took Loiacono almost ten seconds to cover the short distance with that pathetic sprint/waddle towards the suspect. I mean, how far was that? It’s difficult to judge but less than 40 yards I think. A 15 second forty yard dash time is kinda sad, officer. Lay off the cheeseburgers. I’m chiding these guys only because I’m concerned about their welfare. Police officers need to be in good physical condition because as seen here, things can get damned dangerous for them. At least Loiacono was a damn good shot.

But all’s well that ends well, and like danahan likes to say, “Another thug has taken the room temperature challenge via high speed lead poisoning!”
