Family and friends mourning a federal law enforcement officer who was fatally shot while guarding a U.S. courthouse in Oakland voiced poignant pleas Friday for an end to the violence that cut short his life, saying America needs to overcome discrimination and hatred.

David Patrick Underwood, 53, was remembered as a soft-spoken and gifted natural athlete, a lefty pitcher in high school who was valiant on the mound and graceful on the basketball court.

America needs to overcome discrimination and hatred.

BULLSHIT. Only people who hate and want to attack America say this. There is no hate or discrimination worth even addressing in America today.

If someone can make so naked and un supportable an attack on America from a pulpit during an eulogy then another can yell BULLSHIT from the audience at the top of his lungs. It’s gonna start happening from now on where I am.

Last week, the FBI announced murder charges against Air Force Staff Sgt. Steve Carrillo. Authorities say Carrillo used the same homemade AR-15-style rifle eight days later to kill a Santa Cruz deputy in a hail of gunfire that wounded four other officers.

The killer killed another officer, too, before he was caught and held down by civilians...? Video
