Police Officers murdered in Georgia and Pennsylvania this week

[sportsfan41]

We were in Richmond Saturday night. This happened right about the time we were leaving the EKU game. I'm glad my son wanted to go eat at Applebee's instead of Logan's or Hooters. Otherwise we'd have been right in the middle of it. Witnesses said over 50 shots were fired. It was right on the the bypass with lots of people around, it could have been really bad.

 

Very familiar with that area. Glad nobody innocent was hurt that can be a pretty busy part of town.

Glad it was on a weekend and not during the week, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about

There were 16,700 people at the game Saturday and this happened about the time that it ended--it could have been really bad.

Nothing that I'm aware of. Again, seems somewhat similar to the murder of Officer Jason Ellis in Kentucky last year. He was ambushed on the side of the road and killed. Police have never developed a suspect, as far as I know, in that case and it's been over a year.

 

And that is with about $250K in reward money...

Yep, there's cell phone video of it if you haven't seen it already

It'd be nice to see the media focus on the good cops do and it would be nice to see the media bring attention to a startling statistic like this one. 7 cops in 11 days?? That should be national news IMO.

[00Rocket28]

^the media doesn't care because they can't get someone in trouble

Yeah, I saw it Sunday night. Somewhere around 30 shots fired in about a 30 second video--unreal that it was happening in Richmond.

Suspect identified. That was faster than I thought it would be.

[00Rocket28]

I wonder if there's a connection to Jason Ellis

I wonder if there's a connection to Jason Ellis

 

Doubt it since he lives in PA and ambushed a barracks near his house. I guess anything is possible.

And just today 28 men in Kentucky were willfully sprayed in the face with Oleoresin Capsicum as part of their final few weeks training. So that they may join so many that have went before them to serve the citizens of this state as Law Enforcement Officers.

That stuff is awful, especially if you're sun burnt.

I don't necessarily mean the same suspect, but a connection.
