Oh no...
Haskell Drive needs to be thrown into the Kaw River.
Prayers Up.
Are you 100 percent sure?
Even with all that’s going on with BLM, you’r right, cops still get shot by your basic everyday animals who’s caught robbing and shooting and raping and murdering.
I would agree except I read somewhere that there were three men with guns. That is not really a random shooting.
I am sure this more Crime Related than anything else.
= = = = = = = = = = =
My first thought also...then again, heard it was a Captain BUT he may have stumbled onto something by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
This stuff has to be the forefront but it was kind of disgusting when the shooting at the Courthouse last week was just left up there ALL DAY as a ‘shooting’ NOT that a prisoner had grabbed a Deputy or Court Officers gun...
Enough crap going on without trying to ‘mix apples and oranges’.
Breaking point is very near. I am so sick of this sh!t.
And to think that the POS shooter in Baton Rouge came from Kansas City...I wonder if these shootings are connected?
His and all those other cops shot and killed their blood is on 0bama’s, the BLM terrorists and more so the libtard MSM.
