Just happened in the last hour or so. One of the killed police officers is the son of the Chief of Police.

Sad day for law enforcement. Two other officers were hurt and taken to hospital in nearby Memphis.

[TNdandelion]

A third officer has been shot, as well.

RIP.

BREAKING: illegal immigrants involved. “Hispanic man dead on scene”.

[Mr. Wright]

Any chance the perpetrators were angry TEA Party members? Amish? NRA members? Militia? Heterosexuals? Christians? Catholics?

[Mr. Wright]

You answered my question - I am sure we will hear a full report on the State-run media regarding their “illegal status” on the evening news.

[Cedar]

Other news source mentioned a high-powered rifle...probably a drug run.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Is West Memphis the same sort of demographic area as East St. Louis?

[Mr. Lucky]

Middle aged married white fathers would be the safe guess.

[TNdandelion]

I can’t really answer that, but it gets quite a bit of traffic from people traveling on I-40.

If Drudge headlines it and Rush talks it up - who needs the MSM.

Van had a license plate from Ohio...they traced it to New Vienna, Ohio. Not sure if I spelled that right.

[Coldwater Creek]

Make that four officers, including the Crittindon County Sheriff.

[Mr. Wright]

Once again, Mr. Wright was being a cynic. I realize how bad the State-run media reports. I have not watched any of them in the last 7 or more years - - I get my NEWS from FOX and RUSH. Screw the State-run media - unless or until they get objective, they too, may kiss my white ass!!

[Coldwater Creek]

Connects to Memphis, Tn.

[Mr. Wright]

Remember this. Everything about Race is now OK? If the alleged CIC can make everything racial, then so can we as citizens of this GREAT country. I now make everything racial.
Hussein Obama is responsible for me taking this position on issue.

[Coldwater Creek]

I misread your question. No, West Memphis is an alright area.
