Muslim convert? When they have a suspect I want the press to summarize their rap sheet to give the public the idea as to whether "it" was maybe a mistaken ID or just another crime in a long string of crimes over the years.
Thanks for the update.

(COLUMBUS COUNTY, N.C.) — A veteran state trooper in North Carolina was shot dead while making a traffic stop early Wednesday, authorities said.
The deadly confrontation unfolded when Kevin Conner, an 11-year veteran, stopped a pickup truck for speeding in Columbus County just after midnight, the North Carolina Department of Public Safety said.
The driver pulled onto the shoulder, and when Conner approached, the driver allegedly fired several shots, authorities said.
The suspected shooter then fled the scene and led police on a car chase, authorities said.
His car became stuck while trying to drive over a railroad crossing, authorities said, so he then fled on foot.
The suspect as found after an “extensive search” and taken into custody without incident, authorities said.
“The Highway Patrol family is mourning the loss of a hero,” State Highway Patrol commander Colonel Glenn McNeill Jr. said in a statement.
The department “will forever be changed by the tragic events,” he said. “We ask everyone to please keep Trooper Conner’s family and all who knew him in your thoughts and prayers.”
The suspect has not yet been identified, authorities said, adding that charges are pending.
I've known some jack asses before....and you are one.
I've been insulted by much better than you.
Perp’s name is out on Twitter. If I can find confirmation, I’ll post the link.
Sad. RIP.
A refresh of Mewzilla’s earlier post shows that the perp has been named now, Raheem Davis. Guess he converted to Islam in a previous stint?
Sure is! I know a guy, he’s the son-in-law of a good friend, whose father was a police officer and died in very nearly the same circumstances, about 35 years ago. He went on to become a SWAT team guy, and very often was undercover. Now one of his sons is also a police officer. Truly they are a family that was completely impacted by the murder of the father/grandfather. Good people, and I’m glad they’re on our side!
:( Prayers.I saw this on twitter.
Ha!!!
At least you ain't a chick...
Or are ya!!~??
While I know there are bad cops and some good cops that have acted badly I am constantly surprised to read of these circumstances:
"The suspect as found after an “extensive search” and taken into custody without incident, authorities said. "
The reserve and professionalism of the LEOS in so many instances when the perp has clearly taken one of their own is remarkable.
Don’t doubt that....by a long shot!!
Amen to that.
