One police leader in Indianapolis says the killing of an Elwood police officer is an example of how the criminal justice system is failing. Carl Boards II is accused of killing Elwood Police officer Noah Shahnavaz on Sunday.
In 2006, Boards was sentenced to 25 years in prison for attempted murder after firing shots at cops in Indianapolis. He appealed, however, and was instead sentenced on a criminal recklessness charge and released early.
Boards also has a weapon possession conviction from 1999 and a drug possession conviction from 2001.
“The judge combined all of the offender’s charges in his 2006 conviction, which should have totaled 39 years executed in prison. Instead, the offender only got 25 years and only served 13,” said Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police President Rick Snyder in an interview with 93 WIBC’s “Hammer and Nigel.”
Snyder says he’s fed up with activists and government leaders who are weak on penalties for violent offenders.
“Now [Officer Shahanavaz’s] family is having to cope with planning his funeral, and we have judges and prosecutors and members of the criminal justice system who are more concerned with excuses than they are with outcomes,” said Snyder.
As for when the violence will stop, Snyder believes the answer to that is simple.
“It will stop when the criminal justice system starts holding repeat violent offenders accountable,” said Snyder.

Had this POS been where he should have been, in jail, Officer Shahanavaz wouldn’t have been murdered 🥺 Plea deals for murders should be removed! Once murder is committed you should no longer have rights! Commit a crime with a gun, straight 10 years, then go too trial for your charges. We have no time for soft government!
Soros DAs are a thing. The goal is to make this sort of soft-on-crime approach a standard everywhere.
The Democrats want the chaos to cause fear and dependency, and they don’t want their foot soldiers going to jail in the process. This is ALL by design.
