Wilburn is at large and considered armed and dangerous, Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong told reporters late Sunday.

“You can be assured that we will continue to pursue this suspect, and we will exhaust all means until he is in custody,” he said.

“Last night, we lost not only an officer, but a great man, a dedicated servant to our community, and a family member,” said Armstrong.

Obonzo, his DemocRAT friends and #blacklivesmatter are responsible for the death of this former Marine turned policeman. Murderers.

No way!! The cop shouldn’t have messed up the dope deal since it was so little dope so it is the cop’s fault that he is dead. It was messing with the dude’s way of making a living since it is hard to get a job while on parole. And and and the shooter was black and we all know that #BlackLivesMatter. Right.......,/sarc/

I was about 99.9% confident it was an “if Obama had a son” type thug.

“If guilty, this thug should have his oxygen supply shut off immediately.”

If he values his oxygen supply, he might want to turn himself in. ANY move by him if spotted could be seen as threatening.

I was reading some of the comments on the Sheriff’s and Memphis Facebook page and I am disturbed by the amount of “people” posting with their FB accounts (names, work, schools) happy that a “pig”, “cop”, “White Cop” died. That this was payback and how do we know that the FELON ‘wasn’t defending himself by killing the white cop before the white cop was going to kill him’. Shameful

This Administration has done everything it can do destroy this Country and inflame.

I have seen a couple of tweets that says this guy is a convicted bank robber out of prison on a supervised realese program.

Still have not seen any articles posted on it yet.

Does anyone ever wonder how it is that they always have photos of these guys handy? Never in a band uniform, either.
