Another vet chokeholds a dude to death
Esteban Lowery trying to murder a cop
Not that one that’s been in the news. Though this one was also the hero of the day.
Local media out of Bowling Green, Kentucky dove into a case from June 2023. A Bowling Green cop was lucky to have a citizen rider with him. The unnamed US Army specialist from Fort Campbell was checking out police work for after his impending ETS. The cop and rider responded to a disturbance call that jumped bad awfully fast (as these things tend to do).
The above screencap is from the cop’s bodycam. The suspect was acting erratically, refused to obey commands, and then drew a pistol. He shot the cop several times as he emptied his gun. For whatever reason, the cop engaged the threat with his Taser, and got shot six times for his troubles. Fortunately for him (and the civilians in the building), the unnamed member of the E-4 Mafia noticed the bad guy’s gun slide lock open. He took that opportunity to go on the offensive, and engaged the threat (while himself unarmed and after the bad guy literally just gunned down a cop). Putting him in a chokehold after some tussling, and with another citizen kicking bad guy’s gun away, he stopped the threat. Permanently.
There’s a lot to chastise the tactics of the uniformed cop here, so I’d not like to go down that path. Rather, I’d like to find out the name of the soldier so he can never have to buy a drink in any cop bar in the world ever again. I’d also like to see him get a Soldier’s Medal.
Bowling Green Daily News has the video and a detailed rundown of the day’s events.

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Soldier’s Medal.
I hope his command gets on the stick and makes it happen.
Soldier’s Medal, with brass balls device.
No shit, most people scatter like a herd of deer when the rounds start flying. Especially if they are unarmed and not their monkeys and circus.
Ditto!
That young man definitely needs to be awarded the Soldier’s Medal for engaging and neutralizing an armed (and unstable) individual who had just tried to kill a Police Officer. Glad the Grand Jury did the right thing, now his Chain of Command needs to do the right thing.
Just like all combat arms soldiers or just soldiers in a combat area, not every cop knows how they will react when things get lethal. Some, (most fortunately) rise to the situation and some don’t. Pretty much like the phenomenon of soldiers either not firing their gun in combat or deliberately missing. Something that has been known since at least the Civil War.
There is a hell of a dichotomy between training Police to be warriors when the time comes and the public complaining about cops being “militarized”. Who knows what the perfect blend is. I sure as hell don’t and I was in both professions. I got criticized by superiors in the Army for being too much like a cop and the PD criticized me for being too much like a soldier.
OT, what do you think of the possibility that the LEO had, in the back of his head, “If I shoot this guy my career is toast?”
Consequences of higher-ups not backing you up play into the “what-ifs” we deal with.
Very likely.
I’d say that could indeed be a factor. There is no way to tell for sure though from the article.
Combat is combat! Doesn’t matter if it’s a service member in a war, a police officer and bad guy, or MMA/Ju Jitsu. Some are more “everlasting”, but it’s combatant against combatant.
Good on this warrior! He understood!
We need to get the racial aspect out of it and get everyone to understand that it’s actually good vs. evil!
Soldier’s Medal, absolutely. With the bonus of making liberal heads explode.
At the very least. A consideration to “promote ahead of his peers” should be made, too.
BZ, Young Sir.
The dead pusbag is melanated. Get ready for ” He wuz a good boi. About to get his life together ” BurnLootMurder, Al Sharpton….the whole dogshit enchilada.
HEY! Don’t be bringing any shade on a beloved enchilada! Carne asada or carnitas, mmmmmm. What, uh, carry on.
And all his scumbag relatives will show up from out of nowhere to try to get on the gravy train. Beats working for a living, if any of them even do that.
And I bet that the Cop MADE him go nuts as he was on his way to Church Choir practice, and suddenly he was getting arrested “for being black”, I wonder if they’re already throwing their ACME® Victim Card™?
Yup. He was just about to start paying child support and start medical school.
A real loss to humanity.
As much as I hate to bring it up, he doesn’t fit the narrative of being a systemic racist. This will go away tomorrow or the next day.
Penny didn’t fit the narrative either.
Thankfully, that worked out for the best.
A good man went free, a psychotic criminal POS became worm chow.
Some, things work out right!!
Would you think that the soldier might be granted and interview with the PoPo? Fellow is looking for a job and pretty well demonstrated his enthusiasm ability for that sort of work
For cripes sake, reenlist the man. Don’t let that one get away. Pin his Soldiers Medal and get him his choice of assignment. But do not let that man ETS.
“But do not let that man ETS” – Roger that, and what would be even better is to keep him around for a good while and then have him apply for an increase in his retired pay (which is allowed under Title 10, USC3991).
He should immediately promoted to SGT. He has good judgment and instincts in a perilous situation.
Amen to that, he did a great job of keeping his head on straight when the SHTF!
The obituary starts out with “was bestowed rest for his soul” and with that in mind, the Whiz Wheel®™ spins:

Nothing wrong with taking the trash out
This whole episode is given a good write-up on the Bowling Green True Crimes Facebook page. It seems that Lowery was trying to pull some “I’m a Sovereign Citizen/Entity” bullshit at the car dealership to try and take possession of a 2014 Chevy Tahoe.
Anyway, the name of the ride-along was SPC Ionis Cuko from Ft. Campbell and in addition to what he did to Lowery he also saved the life of one of the office gals by shielding her with his body when the shooting started.
Maybe NOT disclose the Civilian’s name.
Save him from impending criminal and/or civil lawsuits and trials.
Nope, don’t have to worry about any of those. The Commonwealth of Kentucky is a “Stand Your Ground” state and has already determined the ride-along was justified in his actions. That’s how his name came to be published on the BG True Crimes Book of the Face.
Uh, that will not deter Ben Crump or his ilk from filing a civil wrongful death lawsuit. All the lawer has to prove is negligent homicide by a preponderance of the evidence for choking the perp long enough to kill him.
Since when is “a U.S. Army specialist stationed at Fort Campbell” a civilian? Unless you are referring to the law enforcement officer who is a civilian (except when absorbed into armed forces in time of war by act of proper legal authority) under international law. In that case, disclosure of the officer’s name I’d expect to be in keeping with policy set by the local government.
The guy had a gun and shot the cop multiple times. This isn’t some unarmed guy on a subway or some guy in handcuffs face down on the ground. Also, it happened in Kentucky.
But, but, but… the gun was empty, he wasn’t a threat anymore…. the excuses will never end..
Big surprise… new articles say the deceased turd’s mother is demanding answers for his death.
“Your son was a shitbag and earned his reward for fucking around. The world is better off without him.”
There’s your answer, lady. I doubt you’d be so interested in what happened to the officer and the ride along if they had both been killed.
Welp, there is your prospective plaintiff in the prospective wrongful death case. I predict Ben Crump will pass on this case, as it won’t settle for big money and is a loser at any jury trial, especially in Kentucky.
Not to mention the bodycam pictures. Highly prejucidial.
But of course the baby-Mama is going to throw her ACME® Victim Card™ with dollar signs in her eyes craving attention hollering that her baby “din’-do-nuffin-wrong”
Next contestant in the ghetto lottery
But, isn’t he the wrong race?
BTW, I have 2 Mexican kids and 1.5 Black kids. So do t come at me!
You’ve got half a kid???
She got DP’d by a white guy and a black dude. That’s how she counts it
I don’t think “lady” is an appropriate term here.. woman, maybe…
If they had responsible parents, they wouldn’t be the shitbags they are.
I did the shoot/no shoot video/laser pistol training with our local PD. The wounded officer screwed up drawing the taser instead of his service pistol. Had he used his service pistol ASAP, the perp would have been DRT or wounded from the officer’s gunshots. Rule one: Don’t counter a firearm pointed at you with a nonlethal response. Officer Davis extremely failed what should have been, if not, his training and the OODA loop. The video shows the officer was immediately confronted with a very agitated suspect who promptly pulled gun on him and pointed it directly at him after racking the slide and chambering a round (according to the report). There is no justification for pulling his taser instead of his service pistol, let alone taking the seconds to deploy it. Had the perp not emptied his magazine in six seconds, the officer would likely be dead. That slide lock after the last round is also what prompted the E-4 to jump the pavement predator.
If Bowling Green has a crypto-commie, Soros elected DA our young E-4 would be facing the same charges as Daniel Penny did. Since he probably has little or no money, Ben Crump will not likely be representing the deranged dirtbag’s next of kin in a wrongful death case. Although, some crooked lawer might sue the PD claiming the ride-along was acting as an agent for the PD and city. Mason, keep an eye on this case and let us know what develops.
…had…, not …has…. The DA has declined prosecution, so obviously no a Soros’ DA.
Here’s an update, from August 2024.
The family wants (wanted) answers.
National Civil Rights Activist on board – check
Threats of mobilizing and marching – check
Lawyer retained – check
Several nuggets of gold in the quotes in this story.
Family of Esteban Lowery looking for answers one year after his death
https://www.wbko.com/2024/08/28/family-esteban-lowery-looking-answers-one-year-after-his-death/
Looks like a good time to pull out the golden oldy. “You want answers?….. You can’t handle the truth! about what a turd your boy was.”
He was high on uppers and meth, and he told a friend he planned to take out a cop. In addition to the drugs, he had that melanin that seems to make certain adult males to have impulse control and want to fight or kill police officers. On top of that, he had that delusion that he was a “sovereign citizen” to whom no laws or rules of civilization applied. So, in his mind he could just walk into a car dealership and demand a car or his previously owned car before it was repo’d for non-payment (assuming he once owned the car he was demanding).
Slightly off topic, but…. pertinent to the website.
I just read that Jimmy Carter pardoned over 200,000 draft dodgers.

Gee, just think, I could have vacationed in Canuckistan for five or six years instead of serving fifteen months in combat in the Viet of the Nam.
Should have claimed bone spurs. I hear that works.
This was an attempt to creat more demon crats. It a disgusting thing Carter did. Those that served by being drafted and volunteered was like having shit thrown in our face. Fuck this worm.
Sounds about right for Carter
FJB… Dig deep enough into most of his pardons, and you’ll find him covering his own ass, or that of his family / handlers..
Family and handlers? Like Charles Kushner, Steve Bannon and Roger Stone?
Well, he well be cohabiting with said worms soon.
Nice.
A slip of Boones Farm.
She kept that idiot AOC out of an important House position. You guys should be thanking her.
I believe she’ll move up and gain more power over time. She’s a moron that keeps getting reelected — she’ll be a fixture in American political discussion and activity for decades to come, with or without Nan’s help or hindrance.
Nope. Gonna take a hell of a lot more than just one good thing for that evil wench to earn anything resembling forgiveness. She can take it up with Jesus. I ain’t interested.
God bless him….ah, I mean the vet who jumped in to suppress the turd !!
