Another Huckabee early release?
Two city police officers have been shot, according to Rural/Metro officials.
Paramedics responded to Pierpont Street and Dewey Avenue and treated and transported two Rochester police officers to Strong Memorial Hospital in “emergency red mode.”
Are there more shootings at cops in the past few months since BHO said the Cambridge cops acted stupidly? Our military are sitting ducks, now our LEO are being taken down.
Gun battle, or ambush like the Washington State shootings?
Sadly, there are some people that support the muder of cops:

First let me say that I support law enforcement 100%.
Having said that, I am 100% against the abuses of power I’ve witnessed lately: tazing everything that moves, military-grade weaponry used on American citizens, the blatant corruption that exists and goes unpunished.
I believe that these abuses of power can and do damage the reputation of law enforcement.
If they are perceived as an enemy of regular people then they will no longer exist as real people (with wives, husbands, career, children, hopes and dreams, etc) in their hearts and minds. To the average Joe they are intimidating and oppressive on sight. To the dregs, they become much easier to kill.
All these Gung-ho cops dressing in full military outfits, armed like they’re off to full-scale battle, bad attitudes, on some tyrannical power-trip are, in my mind, ensuring that the number of cop murders rise.
A perfect example was how police treated unarmed college kids in Pennsylvania recently. It was a total overreaction and it was very scary to witness.
If cops like the power-trip they get from being ‘scary’ then they should expect the other side of it—people loathe what they fear.
All of this is light years away from the friendly, neighborhood cop we knew and respected growing up.
People are going to respond to what law enforcement does. If they abuse the people they are supposed to “Protect and Serve” then it follows that they will respond in kind.
This is trickle down, and if the cops misbehave, the people surely will.
The absolute worse thing that could happen is for law enforcement to do more of the same, or even increase it, in response to the recent rise in cop murders.
It must stop or we all lose.

“Two police officers shot in Rochester”
Staff reports
Local News – December 2, 2009 - 5:00am
SNIPPET: “About 11:20 p.m., two officers from the Rochester Police Department responded to reports of a home invasion at an apartment building at 265 Driving Park.
When the two male officers reached the third floor, they were fired upon. One officer was shot once, the other shot twice, in the upper body.
Both officers were transported to Strong Memorial Hospital, and both have undergone surgery or will undergo surgery, but both officers’ injuries appear to be non-life-threatening, according to Rochester police Officer LaRon Singletary.
The suspect, one male, is still at large and is considered armed and dangerous.”
And just two weeks ago a perp hit and run’d seven people on Plymouth Avenue, maybe a mile or so away from this scene. Unlike our local Gannett rag, the Democrat & Communist, Jihadi Watch reports the hit and run driver as praising allah. The scene of this shooting is in the middle of Diverse City. Flashing blue lights at the top of telephone poles are cameras and directional gunshot microphones. They are at nearly every block.
My Son-in-Law is a Coastie out of Rochester.
I wonder how long till the sheep start bleating for more gun control “laws”?
The intifada continues.
