MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee police officials on Sunday identified a suspect in the fatal shooting of a Memphis police officer, and an intense search for the man is underway.

Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, faces a first-degree murder charge in the death of Officer Sean Bolton, 33, on Saturday night, Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said at a news conference.

Armstrong said Wilbourn was a passenger in a 2002 Mercedes Benz that was parked illegally in a southeast Memphis neighborhood on Saturday night. Armstrong said Bolton saw the car and shined his squad car's spotlight on the vehicle.

Officer served a tour of duty in Iraq as a Marine and joined the Memphis PD. Media refuses to report the race of the suspect but the comments did. No outrage, no Obama or DNC statement about the "prevalence" of guns, none of the usual blather that happens if the roles were reversed. This nation is careening out of control.

Obama might as well have pulled the trigger.

How many times has he been in and out of jail?

According to USA Today, he was on “supervised release” from a 122 month sentence for bank robbery.

A police officer in St. Louis survived an ambush and execution attempt by four of Obama’s children last month. The only thing that saved him was his vest.

The thought of Obama retiring in luxury to $250,000 per canned speech and occasional snarking commentary on the Sunday talk shows turns my stomach.

Well, taking down the monument of Gen. Nathan Bedford Forest didn’t settle anything it appears in Memphis.

Tennessee has the death penalty, and recently the governor signed a bill into law that provides for the electric chair if they run out of lethal drugs.

Unfortunately, the state Supreme Court has suspended all executions indefinitely while legal challenges are being heard.

Comfort yourself with this thought: Nobody with any gumption actually listens to him. When his mouth is moving, it’s a given he’s spinning a yarn. So, when he comes on t.v., click quick. That’s what the remote is for! (I’ve been able to do that since Bill Clinton has been out of office. Click!) - Oh, and you don’t have to pay any money to go to any function where Oblabber is slated to give a speech. Sunday talk shows that feature O - Click! - Problem solved!

Supervised release Memphis style. Just pay your monthly parole fee, at 201 Poplar and go bout yo bidness.

Now fail to get your lawn sprinkler backflow valve permit renewed and you'll be hauled off to jail after doing a skin color test.

Whitey shake a lot.

They might want to look in that town in Mississippi where a girl was recently immolated with impunity. Or maybe the records room of the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock.

A pic of the suspect.

RIP to the officer, and thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

So how many months of his 122 month sentence did this thug spend behind bars. Armed robbery of a bank should have gotten him a minimum of 10 years. I guess he tried to get some street cred at an early age.
