The Rest:
An Omaha police officer has criticized a minister for donating $100 to Sgt. Jason Pratt's children in the name of Albert Rucker's children.
Interim Police Chief Al Pepin said Wednesday that he planned to review the comments made by Officer Tariq Al-Amin.
Al-Amin said in an interview that Bishop William Barlowe's actions stigmatized the four Rucker children for something they didn't do.
Barlowe announced the donation the day of Rucker's funeral and said Rucker's family supported the gift.
Rucker was shot after he shot Pratt. Both men died.
During Al-Amin's weekly cable show, "Protecting the Village," he held up a straight razor and suggested that the Rucker children use the razor when they grow up to slit Barlowe's throat.
Al-Amin said Wednesday he thought the donation was inappropriate.
"I felt a strong statement had to be made, and so the straight razor and the words were for effect," said Al-Amin.
"No, I would not advocate anyone going out and killing anyone."
Barlowe has said donation was meant to promote healing. He was out of town Wednesday.

Thats OK.
BTW, did you ever notice that members of the Islamic faith always claim to be peace loving and non-violent, but they are the first to advocate violent acts, and gruesome acts at that, when they are talking about people they have issues with. Christians and Jews especially.
Two faced hypocrites, no wonder the MEDIA and the DEMOCRATS are so warm and fuzzy when they talk about Islam.
