One police officer was murdered and his partner was shot and injured Monday night following a pursuit of a vehicle that ended in a pedestrian being stuck. But the driver of the vehicle didn’t surrender, choosing instead to fire a weapon at the police SUV pursuing him. Black Lives Matter activist Henry Eugene Washington, 37, was arrested early the next morning after getting stuck between two buildings as he tried to climb down from his hiding place not far from the scene of the crime.
Bothell police officer Jonathan Shoop, 32, was pronounced dead at the scene. His partner was transferred to the hospital and is in satisfactory condition. According to The Daily Herald:
Shoop tried to stop a westbound Pontiac G6 on Highway 522 around 9:40 p.m. Monday. After a short car chase, the black sedan hit a pedestrian on a scooter in a crosswalk, crashed through the center median and stopped in the 10300 block of Woodinville Drive.
The suspect is in custody in King County Jail in Washington. Despite the age of the story, mainstream media has refused to even acknowledge it. 48-hours after the killing of a white police officer, none of the major networks or news outlets have reported it. The likely reason is the suspect’s affiliation with Black Lives Matter, which can be clearly seen on his public Facebook page.

They should be cracking skulls not taking knees. Enough of this lawlessness.
I could find (Google search) only one TV network that reported the shooting - CNN. They had ZERO description of the shooter at all.
There were a number of Washington based print articles, including this one.
“Washington described his actions in defense of himself against law enforcement taking his vehicle, marijuana and firearm,” the detective wrote.”
Other articles mention the outreach of the killer’s mother, seeking support for her in her grief over her son.
