Reminds me of the Newhall, CA shooting, 1970. That was in the headlines for months. This will be old news by next week.
Barry wants his `legacy’ secure?
OK, here it is, along with five officers slain in Dallas and many more LEOs murdered 2008-2016.

From See BS Crime Stopper site.

Scott said Wednesday that Lembrick had an outstanding arrest warrant charging him with kidnapping and other counts when the two officers encountered him at an apartment complex where a domestic dispute had been reported. But officers didn’t know whom they were dealing with when they responded to the 911 call.

Those of us from that part of Georgia are in deep mourning. We are also wondering how someone with 32 pages of rap sheets was on the street. The judges who let him free need to be in jail.

Another domestic. Who made the call? How was the call deemed a domestic? What happened to the person placing the call? Has that person been ID’d? Was this another ambush disguised as a domestic?

Thanks. I had been wondering if it was one of those motiveless crimes where cops are targeted just because they’re cops.

How did the perp get the drop on the officers? Did the officers fire their weapons? Were both officers killed by shots to the head? Were any other persons involved? Did the perp really suicide? There are a lot of questions left unanswered.

Our judicial system HAS to change. This stuff has to stop. The liberals screaming for gun control are conspicuously silent about really punishing these types of criminals. Liberals do NOT advocate appropriate punishment for lawbreakers.

After, I don’t know, 15 arrests; it’s safe to say we have a career criminal.

We need to reward him (or her) with career incarceration.

Good people don’t need to suffer, just in case he goes straight. After 15 arrests, that likelihood vanishes.

Yes - very sad news that he also died. I live in N. GA and unfortunately not shocked when I heard the news about the shooting. Only lived here for 5 years but it seems there have been way too many cop shootings here.

Also, the two officers were best friends, went to same high school, went to the academy together and when one of them was answering a domestic call the other responded also to back him up.

Prayers to both of there families.

Silly question. Of course they do. (No offense intended.)

Aside from cops being gunned down by BLM types and how much that pisses me off, I also worry about the backlash (not whitelash) from LEOs towards the general public. Whether you are black, white, brown, yellow, red, purple, etc. at some point law enforcement will become so paranoid (and rightfully so) that simply debating a parking ticket with a meter reader could end up getting somebody shot.

This is dangerous territory and we are approaching a point of no return if we don’t get these BLM/SJW and EBT types under control.

Just my opinion.

Pray for the Republic.
