Love how the colors come out after the original post which had absolutely nothing mentioned about racism. Not a peep.
Just the hypocrisy of the politics involved.
Thank You all for making this into thing of race. Something this political side of the aisle/ideology is so good at doing. Reason why I am no longer a reg DEM after 16 years of voting as such. Appreciate you all showing me I made the right decision and re-register as an IND.

This Sheriff was outright executed in cold blood. It was all captured on video.

Haven't read anything about any rioting, or looting or even a peep about any fires set. Can someone in the know please direct me to anything that tells of such a thing occurring after this fked up event the night before last, happened?
AND, Where's the POTUS, Al Sharpton, the Black Lives Matters, Hillary, Bernie etc brigade regarding this? How about some OUTRAGE from them Leaders concerning this. Not gonna happen.
PS: The weapon that was used was a stolen and illegally possessed by the suspect. And initial reports look like he was a local gang thug. |

while I appreciate you obvious color blindness, your obsession with golf (typical of you and your ilk) is not healthy.

Dingus, I hate to say it, because my stomach knotted when I looked into that porcine cop's photo and my heart hurt deeply for his fatherless kids and his widowed partner, but dude: it's kinda parta the job hazards assumed upon swearing in, or is it not?
EDIT: Amen Mike.

Crap?
Nope... this one hits home and is deep. Read the first page.
The LEO that was executed is the Brother of the dude that saved my ass from a SKINNY RPG round going through my head in SHUTOWN.
But seriously appears most here haven't a clue what that entails.

Any person that thinks being a cop does not make you a target for random and unanticipated acts of violence is a rube.

Agreed DMT. Just because one is working in field where there is more danger than most other professions, their death is always tragic, awful and sad.
And The Chief - I think Locker was referring to the comment above his, and not yours.

It's the fault of the shooter and not the "target." I don't blame the victim.

With that said, why then are you the first to throw a fire grenade in any thread that has to do with a LEO on Black incident.
After all, keeping the concept that you're a target always in the back of your head.
Think about that one for a while, cowboy.
OR are you implying as Dingus suggested...

CG, I thought I made clear my immediate sense of horror for the man's family, for that senseless and seemingly random violent act.
But yes, being a more likely target for random acts of violence is certainly a part of being a cop. My view does not mean that I am not horrified, only that being in that line of work increases the likelihood of a gun death on the sidewalk. Just like being born black. Or poor.
EDIT for the Chief: Or speaking your mind on matters that make the Chief feel like taking revenge.

I thought you did too. Still, it's a sad and tragic event.
I think there is a whole lot more agreement on this thread than many recognize.

Sorry for your loss ,Chief and the rest of the friends and family of the fallen. I usually stay out of this stuff here because it never gets anywhere and this place is enough of a time sink without arguing with everybody. But I have known , worked and trained with many LEO/SF guys and I have deep respect for what they do, bad apples aside. I am no cop lover either, I ran with gangs in my late teens/early 20's and have a fairly full arrest resume.(Not a convicted felon)
I just don't see why you keep trying here, I think your creel is full. Nothing will be resolved.

Yeah, Lou, I just got that impulse, hard.
I had a good day out yesterday, boulderin' in the morn, nappin' in the aspens for the heat of the day, and then winding down the weekend on some mellow cracks.
You been getting out lately, Lou?

Sorry for your loss Chief.
Sort of sad how almost everything gets twisted into a "race deal"
ST is full of "Old Whitemen this" and "blackdudes that" and "Mexican other".....
can't you people see that if your first thought is "wow, to bad, what race shot who?" .... your a screwed up person.
Murder is wrong- period.
