I’m sure Jesse and Al are on the way to protest this shooting and call for justice.

One dog or doughnut joke tonight and I’ll lose it.

Prayers for the officers soul and his two children that have lost a father simply because two morons thought they were entitled to someone elses property.

Have you heard the one about a police dog that goes into a doughnut shop?

Was he shot like all the other cops with an AR-15? Is BATFE now using this as another example as to why they’ve banned the green tip ammo because it went through the cops’ body armor?

Note it wasn’t AR-15 green tip ammo and ballistic armor doesn’t stop head shots. It’s a rip on F-Troop’s obvious lying explanation.

Officer Wilson was from the 22nd District.

It has been 2 1/2 years since the last LODD in Philly.

That officer was also from the 22nd, and had also interupted a robbery (off duty).

No. Philly the asshol of the democrat ruined city. Home of the free Mumia movement. Once lived in no. Philly when it was just a drug ridden cesspool and Rizzo clamped down on the trash. Today it makes a cesspool look good.

Since Officer Wilson was dark skinned, if the two perps are white crackers you will know it when Al Scarpton and his ilk show up. I'm betting that, an is the majority of violent deaths of dark-skinned individuals, this is a dark-skinned on dark-skinned crime and to Albaby and the REVrund JACKsin those are in the category of the black lives that don't matter...

Prayers for Officer Wilson's family..

The problem is too many on here are often too quick to blame the police. Some are clearly police haters.
