Is this a picture of a blue light outside of a house? I heard the presser yesterday with Shapiro and others. RIP.

That’s what I didn’t understand relative to the thread title. Like, where’s a link to an article or an explanation?

Sorry. I'll try to delete it since it's causing confusion. I thought people understood the blue light.

Keep it up!

The guy they were trying to serve the warrant to was a creep and a coward. He was stalking his ex girlfriend and peeping on her (total loser....get over it!). Then ambushes 5 good men, 3 who were killed, when they returned the next day to continue looking for him. One source I read said he burst out of a cornfield and ambushed them (still to be confirmed). When the officers came back the next day to the stalking victims home (she and her mother had left fortunately) the pervert and coward was in there waiting for the officers. :mad: The cowardly dirt bag also shot the family dog before the officers arrived.

RIP to the 3 officers killed, and prayers for the 2 seriously injured.

To add to this tragedy, this was in the same area where a deranged man forced his way into a WellSpan hospital in York, took hostages and killed a law enforcement officer. Not sure it is the same police department, but still so close to home....just sad!

Why are there so many maladjusted, deranged men in our society who can't accept rejection? Cowards and losers!

Yup, he killed police officers. No respect for the law. It seems too many people don’t respect the law recently. If you don’t have respect for the law, you’ve got trouble as a countr

I have quite a few blue friends, some in it and some retired. My retired work partner was upset this am.
I spent 16 years working in a major Pennsylvania police agency as a civilian. It means more when you've worked closely with the officers.

Shocking versus becoming too common. Yes, it’s happening more often. It’s still shocking when someone kills a police officer.
Like school shootings. Somehow we have glazed over these horrific events because they have become the norm. There was another one last week and it barely even got mentioned. You shouldn’t have to worry about your child being murdered when they go to school.

Police protect and serve. Schools are supposed to be safe places for children. School shootings and shootings of police violate our fundamental sense of safety and security. There must be an outpouring of sympathy for the victims‘ families, and the most serious consequences for the shooters.

I have two kids who are LEOs with a PA state agency. I won't say it's a constant worry, but it's always a background one.
The little woman and I (York Co, PA residents) have a 30-something son who is serving. It is, as you say, always in the back of our minds.

Our current cultural zeitgeist seems to allow people to do the most vile and disgusting things to others, while some cheer them on! We saw posted today how these officers 'deserved this' for some bizarro world reason relating to something political. Childish, ridiculous, and evil.

They have the right to say it, I heard. True. Great!

Now, hurt my kid and say that sh*t. The government can't stop you, but I will.

We need a solution.
Government constructed and operated housing for the mentally unstable. This board would probably cease to exist. :cool:

Let's do the maths.....It could easily be as many as 2% of the population.... 350 million people * .02 = 7 million people.

500 facilities at 14,000 people per facility.

Small and insignificant clarification of the WellSpan incident. It was LE fire trying to stop the perp that caught and killed Andrew Duarte.

But isn't that the problem? Folks doing illegal things that they think are "right" or called for in the moment, when they believe the government can't or won't stop you? You may think your actions are just, given the reprehensibility of what was done, but we have a system set up where we don't accept the individual imparting their determination of what is right/wrong over what the system determines. It's one of the sacrifices of living in a civilized society, and it's one of the sacrifices that the folks doing these awful things don't have any interest in accepting. Let's strive to be better than them.

Someone mentioned 31 officers killed this year. 172 children aged 0-11 have been shot and killed in the US so far this year (I get that the respective population sizes are different). Innocents who haven't had the opportunity to live the self-guided portion of their life, and didn't decide to put themselves in harm's way. 33 deaths from gunfire on school grounds so far this year. On a nominal basis, at least, it's as dangerous going to school as it is being a police officer (again, not per capita, though since there are far more folks on school grounds than there are police officers).

Yes, the squatters on this board understand Bob. For the newbies: Bob doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.

I don’t know what alpha wrote here. He had been unjustifiably nasty towards me many times such that I put him on ignore a while ago. Life is too short to deal with such nonsense. I have enough trouble dealing with me. (I tried putting myself on ignore. Didn’t work. 😞)
