i am surprised atheists have not yet demanded that public officials not be taken to christian-run hospitals.
Harvey is 75% African American.
I’m sure Holder is going there after he stirs up trouble in Ferguson.
There will be hell to pay if this is a black cop. . . . :)
The offender then ran into the home, where he is now holding people hostage.

Those Quaker kids are just too damn bad.
Figured this was Harvey, Louisiana...not Illinois.
HARVEY, Crook County, Illinois has similar demographics as Ferguson, MO.
Now there is an all black city administration and police department. The white officers left and were gone by the 1980s. Any white officer in his right mind will get out of Ferguson PD ASAP.

“From 1960 to 1980 Harvey changed dramatically as the African American population rose from 7 to 66 percent. The turnover led to racial violence at Thornton Township High School and to race riots in 1969. Simultaneously, Harvey lost its industrial and commercial base. The closing of Dixie Square became a symbol of the city’s escalating social problems. Many residents with HUD loans could not meet mortgage payments, leading to abandoned residences. Harvey’s rates of crime, unemployment, and poverty were among the suburbs’ highest. The city struggled to redevelop industrial properties and improve its reputation as a residential city.”

From same updated article:
“A second officer was shot around 2:30 p.m. He has a graze wound to the arm, Howard said.
Rosa Parks Middle School is on lockdown. Officials said 30 to 40 staff members and teachers are there preparing for the first day of school. There are no students in the building.”
Who would want to be a police officer these days?
I hope the Black Panthers show up soon to calm the situation down
I’m surprised the report is of an “alleged” offender.
is isn't
Officer shot? Nothing to see here, let’s move on.
