       That happened in the area that my Wife is from and she knew the female cop too.

Saw that a bit ago too. Can not believe the storm of Cop Killings this past year. I wish the valiant men and women in Blue all the safety in the world. Dirtbags who shoot cops deserve a bullet on the spot in my opinion.  >:(

        I am with you, Cal, this is crazy and needs to come to a halt, before it got started. These aren't "People" who are doing this, they are "Crazed Animals" and you don't waste time with "Crazed Animals", you put them out of their (and Our) Misery!!!!!

        Pretty bad, when those who are out there, to protect Us, Need to be Protected! Execution of Cop Killers, cop killers, will ensure that those particular ones, will not be Repeat Offenders.

        it doesn't help, but the 2nd killing, was an accident that happened when an old man (78yrs old) made a turn and apparently didn't see the cop.

Terrible tragedy indeed, which was a direct result of the first attack since the motor officer was participating in the search. Dirtbag shooter should be held directly responsible for both deaths.

I was trying to figure out how the two incedents were related.

Getting creamed by a senior citizen driving a van through an intersection could happen to any motorcyclist at any time, anywhere.  Cop or not.

        I agree, the "Killer" of the first cop, should face charges for both, because if it had not of happened, the 2nd cop would not have even been there.

I'm gonna stop you right there.  Suggesting that the shooter be held responsible for a vehicular manslaughter charge that he didn't commit simply can't happen.  That is unlawful.  That is not justice.

An idea like that is exactly what has people of color real hot under the collar ya know.

Have to agree.  That does not follow the Felony Murder Rule.

FWIW a cop killer just died in prison here long before his time was due. I guess justice served? He won't be costing the tax payers anymore unless his family sues for wrongful death or some such sh!t like that.

Said it was a natural "died in his sleep" situation.  We'll have to wait and see if autopsy and investigation results substantiate that.
