2 mississippi officers fatally shot; 3 suspects arrested
 

HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) -- Two Mississippi police officers were shot to death during an evening traffic stop turned violent, a state law enforcement spokesman said Sunday. Three suspects were in custody, including two who are charged with capital murder.

The deaths of the officers are the first to hit the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg in three decades - and come amid a national debate on policing, race and the use of deadly force, following the recent killings of unarmed black men by police in Missouri, South Carolina and elsewhere.

The officers' deaths also follow by a day the funeral of a New York City officer who was shot in the head while stopping a man suspected of carrying a handgun.

Cops have a bitch of a job. Not only do they have to face the prospect of getting shot when doing a routine part of their job, but then they get to listen to the media, and some wonderful folks like you, second guess them and call them every name in the book.

Hope this is a reminder of what some folks do to keep some of you safe so you can sit comfortably in your homes and hate them for it.

Dangerous, yes, but not as dangerous as many other kinds of employment. Regardless, the inherent danger of police work is no excuse for the grotesque excesses we learn of on a daily basis. In fact, they almost certainly have the effect of increasing the danger to policemen and women.

And I think you're wonderful too, Mikey.

BS. There have always been those who despise law enforcement. It's not like cop killers had their genesis after Ferguson.

Looks like Whelly had a big fat steaming bowl of bitch for breakfast this morning. :rolleyes:

And there have always been murderous, THUG police......ever look into the history of the police....where they come from, what they did.....

Oh he's reveling in this.

It made his day to see that these cops got killed.

It serves to provide him with justification for all the Police brutality that has ever occurred in the past plus all future police brutality.

The redemptive power of martyrdom! Call it magic! Call it...a heaven-sent miracle!

By their deaths we are damned, and conservatives are saved. PTL!

Especially in Mississippi.

And it's not like excessive force by the police began with Ferguson either.

What I said was that the increased awareness of endemic police brutality has concomitantly increased the danger that the police face, not that it created it.

You don't understand anything, do you?

You mean slave patrols?

For Example the vaunted Texas Rangers, the first ten that Stephen Austin brought in were nothing but murdering thugs,

Police officer doesn't even make the top 10.

Bob's job, as a roofer, does.

Of course there's always the risk of spilling your FREE cup of Starbucks coffee on your self.:rolleyes:

I freakin' HATE roofing!

Especially tar and gravel even though the risk factor there is much less.

I got religion and became a carpenter...:cool:

What an incredibly ignorant statement.

I tease you and even provoke you on occasion but I can never recall you posting such complete trash.

There is no excuse for this kind of stupidity to be spread.

I am seriously disappointed in you.

Kinda looks that way don't it? :confused:


Carl

Sure. You're saying that the absolute myopic focus in the vast minority of police interactions that result in violence, and particularly the rush to falsely accuse a particular officer in MO, gives some among us another excuse to bleat about "injustice". You're then suggesting that such bleating may cause some extreme assholes to act out against the police.

I agree with you.

If you're "seriously disappointed" with me then I guess I said something accurate. :rolleyes:

Nah. Makes my day when you post something and make a complete fool of yourself. Congrats once again.

Whelly has never served in the military, where you are expected to do essentially the same job worldwide, for dirt pay, and get held responsible for all you do.

I don't see too many people whining about the poor soldiers, unless it is the Repubs who bitch and moan that they don't want to pay what they promised to the vets, nor staff the VAs to the appropriate levels.

You might want to do a better job of hiding your glee when something tragic happens, allowing you to advance one of your talking points.

Good line my friend, but admit it. Y'all like to look down on the elite class.

Talk about advancing a talking point. Just one false accusation in MO my ass. Checked on Ferguson PD lately or for that matter the scrutiny on other for profit PD's in towns with large black populations?

This is a cheap shot from an unfortunate incident.

Of course. It's whell.

Spin-master - if you're finding any glee in my message, its because you're projecting it there.

Cheap shot? Hardly. Go back and peruse the venom that various forum members have leveled against all police based on the actions of a few. You'll see plenty of "cheap shots" in those comments.

In the meantime, we have two officers dead. The perps shot them, left them for dead, and used their police cruiser as a get-away vehicle. One was a 25 year old kid that had recently joined the force. The other was a husband and father of two. Spectacularly tragic. Yet here we are three pages into this thread, and there has been not one post from anyone in this forum with even a passing mention of sympathy for the slain cops. That's tragic too.

That's BS and you know it. Your OP wasn't intended to elicit any sympathy for the slain officers. Instead you utilized it to make a point about media and the "haters" here. You got the response you sought, and now you just sound self-righteous. If you really want to shock the people around here, you might try to inject a little honesty into your work product.

No you won't. You're just lying about the people you don't like, as usual.

For 'plenty,' let's see links to three. Or shut up.

If any one of the liberals on this forum condones the killing of two policemen in the line of duty, you are sadly mistaken. If you were to consider this an act of revenge (in fact you would), you are even further off the deep end. All revenge begets is more revenge and nothing is ever solved. How is Israel doing with their systematic revenge policy? None of us here would want that.

The intent of your post was to elicit the reaction you are getting, "see what happened", and there is an implied message here. If you want to be self righteous, go ahead. Just be careful that this self righteous does not make you stink. ;)

It should be pointed out that, in your OP and subsequently, you've expressed no sympathy for these two police either. Instead, you've callously attempted to use their tragic deaths as a cudgel to beat "lubruls" with in order to advance your own narrative and politics.

That's both despicable and predictable.

So was your post suggesting that I somehow had "glee" about the death of the officers. So please spare me your faux indignation.

Then you're ignoring it, probably on purpose. And it should also be pointed out that you haven't.

Show me then. You said words to the effect that cops, generally, have a tough and dangerous job. You did not, however, spare a thought for the two specific cops in your link when you wrote your OP. This is all you said, every word.

"Cops have a bitch of a job. Not only do they have to face the prospect of getting shot when doing a routine part of their job, but then they get to listen to the media, and some wonderful folks like you, second guess them and call them every name in the book.

Hope this is a reminder of what some folks do to keep some of you safe so you can sit comfortably in your homes and hate them for it."

You were all about trashing anyone who criticizes cops without sparing so much as a word for the victims.

In a subsequent post, you mentioned the age of one of the cops, presumably to make the point that he was "too young to die".

I don't need to lie, and I also don't need to do your homework for you. Here's one. You have go find the other examples.

See post 28, Little John. And I'll apologize in advance if I chose words that you failed to understand to convey the tragedy of this.

I saw it. Pretty tepid, merely referring to a tragedy and only in the context of wrongly criticizing the rest of us for a lack of sympathy (which you also called "tragic").

And anyway, DRay beat you to it in post #22. (I said so too, but only after your accusation so I guess I was just covering my ass.)

And if you're going to engage in infantile insults, at least try to find one that might actually possess a semblance of applicability to the target.

How is it my homework to support your claims?

Fine, one case of Tom Joad doing his hyperbolic thing. You need more than one guy to support the claim of "plenty," or your general assertion that we all "hate" cops.

I shouldn't have said "all". I've encountered a handful of cops that have behaved decently to me. And another handful that were assholes. I'd say my anecdotal experience is 50% decent and professional and 50% assholes.

Which when you consider that I am a conservative looking white dude who tries to obey the law at all times, does not speak well for cops in general.

I have no idea of what it is like for young black dudes but I strongly suspect it's a lot different than it is for me.
