Criminal Behavior Against US Police Officers

A 26-year-old officer was killed in an ambush attack outside of a police station.

He leaves behind a wife and six month old son.

The gun man must have mistaken his police uniform for a pizza delivery boy's uniform.

An update on the shooting.

Damien Ferguson, a black man, is believed to have targeted Dylan Harrison, a white police officer, because officer Harrison arrested Ferguson's friend the night before after he physically assaulted Harrison and got himself tasered and arrested.

It is unknown if Ferguson's friend is white or black, so it is too early to determine if his arrest was legitimate or a case of systemic racism and whether or not Ferguson was justified in murdering a white cop.

Charlotte Ferguson, Damien Ferguson's sister, has been arrested for "Hindering the Apprehension or Punishment of a Criminal" and another woman "was taken to the Treutlen County jail and charged with Terroristic Threats and Acts. Kinsey’s arrest is for a threatening social media post she made on October 9 relating to the investigation."

More arrests are expected.

Another minor traffic stop where a cop escalates it into a confrontation and it ends in a shooting.

Again...

[O]ne element of this sort of very rare violence is the police doing police state stuff and if you do that at some point you are going to run across an armed maniac with nothing to lose. These things happen extremely rarely, and if people want them to happen less don't have traffic laws enforced by cops who see every potential stop as a chance to go fishing for felony arrests. More of these would end with traffic citations and people wouldn't hate cops as much when they are late for work or otherwise detained when they didn't do anything other than run a stop sign or whatever.

No, the perpetrator was not stopped by the cop, the perp took it upon himself to exact revenge for a friend. Evidence that the cop escalated anything?

Approximately 50 LEOs have been killed by gunfire so far this year.

That's hardly rare especially when the four or five Freddie Grays, Brionna Taylors, George Floyds, Eric Garners that happen every year sets the standard for the epidemic of police violence.


Do you also blame rape victims for being drunk or dressing provocatively when they are raped instead of their victimizers, or is blaming the victim something you reserve for LEO only?

Maybe read the story where it says the cop pulled someone over for a minor traffic violation and ended up using deadly force in response to a shove. Their account is bad enough but they are almost certainly lying about it and it is worse.

Four or five. Yeah. Maybe check that estimate on the number of people police kill each year. At least 1000 or so off.

I mean, a woman dressing as she pleases and a cops acting like unaccountable goons are different things, but yeah, cops and rape:

A police officer in Prince George’s County, Maryland, was charged this week with raping a woman during a traffic stop. He’s pleaded not guilty, but it’s a disturbing headline – even more disturbing when you consider there are hundreds more like him.

Yes, hundreds. According to research from Bowling Green State University, police officers in the US were charged with forcible rape 405 times between 2005 and 2013. That’s an average of 45 a year. Forcible fondling was more common, with 636 instances.

Remember, those are the ones where they were charged, so who knows how many more rapes people were scared to report or that were swept under due to the cop wall of silence.

Minor traffic violation? You have no idea why he was approached by the cop, you're throwing "minor" out as a way to suggest the person committing the violation was a victim.

According to GVA.org, 54 law enforcement officers have been killed by guns so far this year. From memory, one was a training accident and at least two were accidentally killed by other cops. I'm not going to waste time finding the precise number for you to dismiss or ignore.

The overwhelming majority of which was completely justified and necessary.

What's your point, that human beings can do horrible things?



In 2015, 500 educators were arrested for sexually abusing schoolchildren. Who knows how many more students were victims of sexual abuse or how many cases were swept under the rug because children were scared to report the abuse or that were swept under the rug due to the teacher wall of silence.

Should a teacher expect to be shot by a student because s/he disciplined
a different student for bad behavior? You know because other teachers are rapists, or something.
 
Three black Houston police officers were ambushed while working security at a club, a heavyset bearded Hispanic male is the suspect.

Two of the officers heard a disturbance outside, thought to be a robbery, and were ambushed from behind while placing the robbery suspect in custody. One of the officers was killed, the other had to have both kidneys and his gallbladder removed, and he is now on the liver transplant waiting list. A bullet also struck him in the spine, doctors have not yet said if the wound left him paralyzed.


No convenience store clerks or pizza delivery boys were injured in the shooting.

I can't think of any reason why this shooting is the fault of the victims, but I'm sure someone will be along soon enough to explain why it is.

Wonder if he has the covid vaccine, as being fully vaccinated is increasingly a requirement for receiving a transplant.
 
An 18-year-old POC was witnessed on a Ring Doorbell camera attempting to open multiple car doors around 10:30 at night. Someone from the neighborhood (obviously a racist) called the police.

The police arrived, they made contact with the suspect, an altercation occurred and 28-year-old Officer Yandy Chirino was murdered for doing his job.

The suspect's sister would fit right in here among the skeptics at ISF:
How did it get to this situation, because my brother would never do something like this.”


“I’m going to talk for my brother because I know my brother has nothing to do with whatever happened,” Banegas’ sister said. “My brother is innocent, I don’t care. Many police have done this to my brother. This is not the first time. This is not the first time this has happened to us.”

It's the cops' fault.
 
Officer William Jeffrey, along with three other Houston police officers, was serving a warrant for Deon Ledet (a real piece of **** with 18 arrests, including felony assault with a deadly weapon and other weapons charges) when they were greeted at the front door with fully automatic assault rifle fire.

Officer Jeffrey was killed. Another officer was wounded.

Thank goodness this wasn't a no knock warrant, someone could have been hurt.

Video of the police officer being murdered.


Ledet has at least 18 criminal arrests dating back to when he was 18, according to Texas Department of Public Safety and Harris County records. He was arrested by Houston Police in 2008 and later convicted of evading arrest with a vehicle in January 2010. He was sentenced to six months in jail. Ledet was initially given a deferred conviction and two years of probation at his sentencing in 2009 on the state jail felony, but he violated his probation, records show.

In 2013, Ledet was convicted of misdemeanor burglary of a vehicle and evading arrest with a previous conviction and was sentenced to 290 days in jail. In 2015, Ledet was convicted of felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and sentenced to three years in prison. He was paroled in 2018.

Ledet also has previous arrests in Harris County on charges including felon in possession of a weapon, assault on a family member, violation of a protective order, providing false information to a police officer and attempted evasion of arrest.

Well, that and the whole taking him by surprise when not in the house and/or serving a search warrant not in the house alternatives.

But yeah, don't you see this proves that cops should be able to break into whatever homes they want without accountability for going into a wrong house or using excessive force and shoot anything that scares them?

If cops can't put all risk onto the civilian population to protect their own safety and maybe get shot themselves then that means that cops lives don't matter above all and that they'd be putting themselves in harm's way to serve the community.

Can't have that, can we?

Well, it's their fault for always escalating and fishing for felonies, or something.


Here's another example.

A Fort Smith officer had his throat slashed when responding to a disturbance call at 6:20 a.m.
Christofer Conner, 40, was beating his own 15 year old son in the head with a brick when the Fort Smith officer arrived. The officer commanded him to stop and at first it appeared he would comply. But when the officer approached with handcuffs, the suspect grabbed a “bladed object” and slashed the officer’s throat open. The officer fired two shots and killed Connor.

If only an unarmed counselor was dispatched to the disturbance call, Conner, who had just stabbed his wife to death and was in the process of beating his 15-year-old son's brains out of his head with a brick, wouldn't feel the need to slash anyone's throat because… reasons.

An unarmed civilian counselor would probably have been trained to stay out of the fatal funnel of slashing or just waited until the murderer was done murdering and surprised him later with a warrant.

I'm convinced a social worker could manage to get their throat slashed just as effectively as this cop did.

A Pontoon Beach, Illinois officer was killed when he pulled over a stolen truck. He was shot in the face and neck as he approached the stolen truck in a convenience store parking lot.

I guess this is what should be expected when you send a law enforcement officer with arrest powers to encounter a convicted felon who is carrying a stolen handgun.

Maybe next time send a meter maid.


P.S. none of the convenience store clerks were harmed.
 
I mean, all of your posts in this thread are roughly the same as when in an abortion debate someone keeps posting pictures of babies. It's a blatant and transparent emotional appeal that disregards context.

Yes, cops get killed. That risk in an inherent part of the job. The more mature discussion is how police policies affect that risk and weighing those policies against the rights and welfare of the public.

Right now more and more cops see their safety as the most important thing, and that results in disregard for the welfare of civilians. Which is a problem both because it contradicts their entire purpose for existing as well as it has been historically counterproductive because when the community decides the cops are too dangerous to call things fall apart quickly and violence in general spikes.
