Chief Bob Olson of Minneapolis was there and his presence conjured up memories of Jerry Haaf, a Minneapolis police officer who was shot in the back while having a cup of coffee. It happened during the early morning hours of September 25, 1992. Officer Haaf was nearing the end of his shift and he stopped by a favorite cop hangout to get a cup of coffee and finish some paperwork. He never saw the two gang members enter the dimly lit restaurant. He did not even have a chance to draw his weapon. They quickly walked up behind him, shot him twice in the back and then ran out the door. His cowardly killers did not know Officer Haaf and did not care about all of the good he had done in his life, or that he was just three months shy of retirement with his wife, Marilyn. All they knew is that they wanted to kill a cop.

Thank you for the link, some of them I recall, and all are heroes to me.
I am picking up an increase in cop killings, for no reason, just to kill a cop.
Is it the gangs again or the jihadi?
About 10 days ago, there was another killed in Denver, stopped in his car at a stop light, the killer is a thing named Washington, who also drove by and shot a woman.
There are lots of driveby shootings now.
Ellison would not get my vote.
John Rothman, this morning on kgo.com I get the radio station, was using the cancelled opera in Germany as a subject, he took a call from a muslim and his rant was insane.
He attacked John, and John being a pro, backed him down, with questions, until the muslim answered that to show the opera was a crime and violence would solve it.
Something along the line of "show the opera here in San Francisco and we will show you what violence is".
John had taken him past the 'be careful stage", this was not an uneducated caller, but it was a man who feels just as we read in the papers, every day.
You can listen on the computer, it is the first half hour of the first hour of the John Rothman program.
