A Mobile police officer has died after being shot Tuesday night.

The officer has been identified as Justin Billa.

The incident stemmed from an incident earlier Tuesday evening, when police found a woman named Fonda Poellnitz dead. Investigators quickly identified her ex-husband, Robert Hollie, as a person of interest in her killing and went to his Toulminville home.

When officers arrived, Mobile Police Chief Lawrence Battiste said they told Hollie to come out. Instead, Hollie began shooting and struck Billa.

At least one officer fired shots back at Hollie.

Billa was rushed to the University of South Alabama Medical Center, where he later died. He leaves behind a wife and young child.

We have a young police officer in the family. Believe me, we ALL Pray for his safety every day.

Now, what time and location is the ‘Million Socialist Gun-Grabbers March’ in his honor? When will busloads of kids show up to, ‘Speak Truth to Power?’

You know, I REALLY hate being so jaded. But, it is what it is. :(

Another one just today in Prince George’s County in Maryland. Also a domestic abuse. In that case, the guy had 3 felony warrants out on him, but the cops didn’t bother to pick him up. The dead cop was off duty and was responding to a neighbor’s plea for help. The shooter was cornered after a road chase and killed after firing on cops.

This is all part of the master plan. Obama opened this wide open. Yes, I blame that SOB for everything even after he was finally flushed down the toilet.

He may have been flushed, but it’s going to take time to remove that skidmark he left on the back of the bowl as he started to go down.
