A police sources tell News Channel 12 officer Craig Crowley’s actions are under review by the Internal Affairs Division. This video shows officer Crawley taking 17-year-old Andre Bass into custody.

That’s crazy you want to punish an officer who was doing his job.  He may have used a “certain.“ word he should not have used, but the man is still protecting the streets of a residential neighborhood.  You need to concentrate on lowering crime instead of FOOLISHNESS. That’s why jobs leave Jackson and the CAPITOL city is shrinking rapidly. Who wants to come to a city where they protect the criminals more than they do the tax paying citizens. I wish the “street thug” was in Texas we would put a needle in his arm so fast, and the officer would get a reward.

This is just another case of someone trying to make a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER look bad.  This little punk had just robbed a elderly person (preying on the weak) for a easy dollar.  They just got CAUGHT!

well, well, well, looks like JPD is doing a good job!!! Leave the police officer alone. The punks were trying to STEAL from an elderly couple that is still working to make a living. I would have said and done alot worst to those scum bag punks!!!!! what if they would have shot and killed someone?

This is the kind of Policeman we need! I think the little P*** got off good. The Officer did NOTHING WRONG.They could have killed that Old Man over what was his.And calling him the N word their parents have called them worst than that.Let that Officer along and handle their A****!!!!!!!!

I was always told that two wrongs don’t make a right. Yes the teens were wrong for their actions. But the adult police officer was also wrong. When everyone says that it takes a village to raise a child. These teens are the examples of a failed home setting, a failed society setting. For they can only act as they have been taught. They been taught to act like the N. word that he called them.

This is one of the most stupid things I have ever heard of!  This HOODLEM, STRONG ARM ROBBER is upset because he was put-down and the “N-word” was used.  If I were the officer, he wouldn’t remember what word was used thus deterring additional crime…..
