Second Kissimmee (Florida) Police Officer dies after Friday night shooting (and perp caught)
Orlando Sentinal ^

A second Kissimmee Police officer has died after a Friday night attack on law enforcement.

Sgt. Richard “Sam” Howard died Saturday from gunshot wounds he suffered when he and fellow officer Matthew Baxter were shot during a routine stop in the McLaren Circle area, according to a department spokeswoman.

Baxter died Friday night shortly after the shooting.

Kissimmee Police Chief Jeff O’Dell said the officers were investigating three suspicious people about 9:30 p.m. near Palmway and Cypress streets when a “scuffle” broke out. That’s when police say Marine veteran Everett Glenn Miller, 45, shot the officers.

The officers — who were wearing body armor underneath their uniforms — did not have a chance to return fire. O’Dell said “it looked like they were surprised” by the gunfire.

Miller fled to Roscoe’s Bar at 2344 N. Orange Blossom Trail, where Osceola County Sheriff’s Office detectives found him about 11:30 p.m. When the officers approached him, Miller reached for his waistband — but a fast-acting deputy tackled him to the ground and arrested him, O’Dell said.

“Extremely brave and heroic actions by the deputy, there were other pople in the vicinity,” O’Dell said. “They went hands-on, tackled him to the ground and secured him [and] located a a 9mm and .22 revolver on his person.

We can always even mouth the platitude that one is too much.

But at what point do we begin looking like media manipulated snow flakes?

A profession that exists because of risk is hardly in a place to criticize risk too much.

Kinda looks like a dress, doesn’t it?

Besides, you can’t wear white after Labor Day so he’s still in style.

Otherwise, the Fashion Cops would put out a warrant.

He can be the first pirate!

Unless he doesn’t want to be a pirate!

I’ve been reading some comments and tweets from these Antifa folks and they are so hate filled it’s shocking. And they dare call anyone else haters! At least in the 60s the hippies pretended to be for peace and love.

That makes 12 officers murdered by “black lies matter” supporters, not counting civilian citizens and the msm still calls them peaceful.

The Hippies were for peace and love. Then the animals, people like Charles Manson, came and devoured them.

These Antifa, these vicious fascists, they are the descendants of the same sickness that created the Manson Family.

This POS is not a "former Marine". That phrase has long been attached to Marines who still support their oath, code, Constitution, and the officers appointed over them.

This scum sucker is an ex-marine at best. Wonder what type of discharge and re-enlistment code is on his DD214, if they still issue that particular form.

I know several Marines in the 40 to 70+ age bracket.

They are Marines, not former Marines.

If this murderer is a former Marine, he got a less than honorable discharge.

We are on the same page, but often when speaking of a Marine vets, former Marine works depending on the context nowadays. Yes, a Marine is always a Marine because of their sense of duty. Marines are my favorite branch of service including my Navy as an Aviation Amphib sailor. Of course, my Navy no longer exists, but that's another story.

I wouldn't trade one day of a full complement aboard (LPH-11) laying about everywhere and buying up all the ship's stores for anything I've done since for Veterans. It gave me great pride to launch them off the deck in the CH 46's and 53's and be their sea-going bellhop. I've worn that label with pride since to this day.
