We lost two in Miami Thursday, the funeral is this morning (streets closed for the family) and they just heard about this shooting.
4 in Detroit, 2 shot in Washington at a WalMart. It’s open season on cops.
Unreal, isn’t it?
And one more shot in Indianapolis on Sunday at a traffic stop.
1 last week in NJ
Add a policeman shot during a traffic stop in Lincoln City, OR to your total. Things a bad all over, getting crazy.
My students in my first period class this morning said the dead shooter in Miami is their personal HERO and that all cops deserve to die. Wonder what they'll say when they discover that next year I'm transferring schools to teach at a magnet school that is for students interested in the Criminal Justice system, to include law enforcement, corrections, legal (attorneys) and forensic science. I'll still be teaching social studies, but I'll also be teaching Criminal Justice related classes.
It’s open season on cops.
I can't say that I'm surprised. LEOs have been going the extra mile provoking the citizens, blasting away at pets, busting down doors, tazering motorists, gunning down non-threatening suspects, shooting into crowds, arrogantly throwing their authority and special legal protection around, confiscating and seizing property without due process, the list goes on.
The point being, is that each person has their threshold of when they lash out in frustration, LEOs have been begging to be that target since they represent "authority" and "the man". As the oppression of government keeps ratcheting up, the politicians eager to find that tipping point where we follow our demons into a violent and bloody civil war, the more and more we will find the weaker minded among us finally going Postal.
Prayers for their families, since they have to live with the consequences of their family member's decisions and the wacko's violent outburst.
Body Armor and honed shooter skills are crucial. Parts of AMerica are becoming war zones.
