A manhunt was underway Monday for a suspect who police say fatally shot a Memphis officer after he interrupted a drug deal involving a small amount of marijuana that would have resulted in just a misdemeanor citation and a fine. Related Stories

His supervised parole doesn’t appear to have worked out very well.

The article actually said “who is black” and “who was white”.
What happened? will the reporter get fired?

Heart: I only hope this punk is gunned down when found.

Head: Stay safe out there, police.

A manhunt?

That’s no man. I am not sure what type of beast that is.

A jock and prolific reader, gunned down by a coward.

My guess is that they figured everyone knew it by now.

Cops are surprisingly effective when the victim is one of their own.

This is the shooter. Or "alleged" shooter. Or "person of interest". Or something.

That is a sub-human species. I am not sure what it is. Hopefully it was locked away long enough so that it wasn’t allowed to breed very much.

My favorite homicide detective squad on “The First 48” were the bunch from Memphis. Especially Detective Sgt. Caroline Mason, with what seemed like 1 inch finger nails, when she got you in the room for confession. A mixed race group who always seem to treat all the perps the same with no hint of racism.
