Not the point Jeff and precisely why I posted it. It's the hypocrisy and political bs agenda that prevails in this nation. They are ALL just a equal in being fked up. Not one is worse than the other as so many political groups these days are claiming that they are in order to perpetuate their agendas.
The "guns" issue only gets brought up when an event occurs that a legally acquired and registered weapon is utilized. But never when this type incident happens, a totally illegally acquired and used gun. Never. Which is far more than the other. Far more.
Again the total political hypocrisy of it all.
Edit: This particular event strikes home. It was a close Shipmates Brother that was executed.
Oh, and Jeff, please do post any "LEO" incident of which you posted that equals this one...
Deputy Darren H. Goforth, 47, was in uniform at a Chevron gas station when the killer approached him from behind and shot him multiple times, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said. He then stood over the deputy and shot him several more times, witnesses told police.
"The deputy fell to ground… the suspect came over and shot the deputy again multiple times as he lay on the ground,” Gilliland said. The deputy was pronounced dead at the scene when EMS arrived.
Carry on.

Dude....the political agenda prevalent in this nation is the one where the crazies running the NRA hold wimpy congressman hostage to the point where the outrageous tolerance and legalization of private ownership of assault weapons has made us the laughingstock of the civilized world.
And did you ever consider that it is a little more (or should be) exceptional when LEO'S who are recruited, trained and payed to ENFORCE the law.....break it.

And what Jim Donini has what you posted above have anything to do with this event?
Are you condoning this execution?
legalization of private ownership of assault weapons has made us the laughingstock of the civilized world.
WTF does that have anything to with this incident. The weapon utilized here was an illegally acquired hand gun and NOT registered per the current many many many local, State and Federal Gun Control Laws that are in place and did not do a damn thing to keep that weapon out of the executioners hand.

If white people aren't rioting and setting fires....might it possibly be that, while it is terribly tragic a person was killed, they know it is not a far-too-common thing.
You can bet your last dollar that, if black people started targeting and killing police officers at anywhere near the level black people get killed by lawmen in suspicious circumstances, there would be marital law in the cities.
If black police began harrassing white people simply for getting on their radar, which happens to people of color with more regularity than some people's BM's, you can rest assured there'd be trouble.
Lucky for us white folks, most minority people are decent and fine human beings. God forbid if a majority of their populations were really the violent, hate-filled people they are repeatedly painted as being.
A shameful trolling, the OP.

What is to protest in this case? Yes it is a horrible tragedy. For that you hold a vigil (they have).
If Miles were released or there some reason to think he wouldn't be prosecuted then there would be a reason to protest.

Had this been a Leo doing the exact same act to a person of color in Houston, the city of Houston would be on fire as would other major cities in this nation with thousand marching and disrupting the streets of them cities.
The POTUS would have been on National TV within the hour, Al Sharpton and his brigade of riot inciters would have been in Houston holding National News conferences egging the rioters nationwide on etc etc etc....
And the usual suspects here on ST would have instantly started another LEO shoots unarmed Blackman thread with the same folks joining in on the gangbang of hate towards LEO's.
Fact.
No troll. Reality. Double standards, yup. Is it all political based? GD right is.

Being a cop is a dangerous job where you can get shot at any time.
Being a citizen is not, or should not be.
There is no comparison here.
Just another stupid thread.

He wasn't shot in the line of duty. He was "Executed" in cold blood from behind and then shot multiple times after he was obviously DEAD.
But of course Ryan, had this been in the reverse, you'd be one of those suspects I mentioned.
Edit: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Wow... so typical. Thanks for showing your complete disdain for Peace Officers.

If Cops were being jailed at rates far higher than the general population, if cops spent every day expecting to be unusually targeted by representatives of their government.. if cops were being executed like this weekly..if cops were kidnapped and kept in a box for months while trying to prove their innocence or pleaing just to get out even if innocent.
If all cops had dealt with this and worse for generations
We might have a valid conversation.

Yes, and rightfully so because they would have an expectation that justice wasn't going to be served.
Miles is in prison and will either get life or death. If it were a LEO he would be given administrative leave with pay.
The POTUS would have been on National TV within the hour Not likely, but if so he would try to calm the situation.
Al Sharpton and his brigade of riot inciters would have been in Houston holding National News conferences egging the rioters nationwide on etc etc etc.... Yeah, you're probably right here.

Systematic persecution by authority tends to lead to rioting or worse.
One murderer on a rampage does not.
It's not so complicated Cheif..

No apo.
Just pointing out the lack of apathy and respect here on ST for those 10's of 1000's that suit up daily and go put their lives on the line for *YOU all.
So far many are doing a good job of doing that.
One murderer on a rampage does not.
Ah, that two "One murderer on a rampage" in as many days. But then those folks weren't black. The three complete innocent victims that is. Both with totally illegally acquired and non-registered hand guns.
EDIT: *Meaning all those that join in all them LEO shot an unarmed blackman and how the law enforcement community nation wide is corrupt and racist threads.
