Jeeez people,, is this the time to nitpick semantics? Brave guy lost his life responding to a dangerous call. He works for the government, wears a vest, carries a gun, serves in a sturcture,,on a squad, under a sergeant, and then a Lt, and above that a captain of some such.

There was one officer killed and one civilian. This story doesn’t seem to call for anything but prayers for the officers family.

Both were citizens. One was trying to help keep the peace which is every citizen’s duty, the other was a killer set on killing.

I'm with Desert Rhino. There are MANY instances of cops behaving like totalitarian Gestapo, but this isn't one of them. The Memphis police officer killed here, deserves our prayers and so does his or her family.

There were two civilians killed. One was a police officer, one wasn't.

That doesn't change the fact that we mourn the loss of the officer's life.
