A St. Louis County police officer answering a call was fatally shot "almost immediately" after he got out of his car Thursday morning, police said.

A second officer then shot the suspect, who also was badly injured.

The shooting happened about 5:15 a.m. in Green Park, said Benjamin Granda, a spokesman for the St. Louis County Police. Green Park is a small city in south St. Louis County northwest of the South County Center mall.

This was in my neighborhood.

Note that he was shot "almost immediately", one of the main reasons the police have to make instant decisions.

These cops need to wear more protection.

Green park is a nice area. Was it a domestic dispute call?

I believe the desired end to BLM is a nationalized (Nazi) police force where the protected class will be minorities...

Even here in south county, the criminals are creeping in. This particular house and block was beginning to get known for trouble.

They haven't released the suspect's name, but some rumors have indicated a BLM type with a assorted collection of arrests.

“This was in my neighborhood. “

You might want to consider moving.

You've got to wonder whether it was a bogus call placed for the sole purpose of ambushing the cop when he arrived.

Yep. And those ‘minorities’ are soon to become ‘majorities’ - but they’ll still wear the phony shield of victim and exploit their protected status.

I just moved there from St. Louis city! I thought I was leaving this type of stuff!

And as it turns out, my son is going into the Police Academy in two weeks.

The Los Angeles County sheriff murdered yesterday was answering a call in a nice neighborhood 1.5 miles from ours.

= = =

Agree on the nationalized police force.

Who are the minorities?

I suggest they are the Elites and the 1%, protected from the patriotic armed citizens (who are becoming the minority) by exterminating said citizens.

Bastards! I will continue my boycott of the NFL. Other that the first game my beloved Bucs played, I've not turned on a game.

RIP

The RAT party is keeping a race war on simmer. If they succeed in stealing the election then they’ll cool it off. But if Trump wins then they’ll unleash it and “The Great ObamaNation” will cancel the turn over or worse.

A young man who does some work around the place for us said
the other day that he is going into the Marines. I told him
good for you; but I really wanted to say, “Don’t!” I know
somebody’s got to do it; but I’m sick of people ending up as
cannon fodder.

My dad, a WWII combat veteran, once said, “It’s the old
man’s WAR, but it’s the young man’s FIGHT!!” He was right.
Don’t get me wrong. He stood and delivered like the man
that he was.

Because of the rhetoric advanced by Obama, Hillary, BLM, and the mainstream media, it is currently open season on white law enforcement personnel.

Weird feeling isn’t it? The Indian guy that went off in Houston last week was just about a mile from me now and right on the block I used to live. It gets closer to home.
