San Antonio Cop Fatally Shot While Giving Out Traffic Ticket - ABC News

A San Antonio police officer was shot and killed while writing a traffic ticket, a shooting that officials indicated appeared to be a targeted attack.

San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told the press that while the officer was writing a ticket, someone pulled up behind the squad car, stepped out of his vehicle and shot the officer twice, once in the head. The shooter then drove off.
Just horrible. Horrible. What is going on?

All these innocent people gunned down, or run over, when they're just doing their job. They don't even get paid a lot.

Something needs to be done or we'll end up with not enough police officers, and then we'll have anarchy.

Well, he's got a point. If you're counting numbers, white males have certainly done a lot more mass killings in our country than anyone else. Primarily young white males, but one guy (in a theater in Lafayette, La.) was older. Innocent children, a Congressional Rep., several theaters, several schools. We had one Muslim hit an army office; he was in the army himself. We had two Muslims hit the Boston Marathon. We had a husband and wife Muslim team hit an office where he worked. But the white males killed more, I'm pretty sure. And they go back to the Oklahoma federal building, which was quite a few years back.

But targeting an innocent person for the sins of others in that group is murder, too, and horrible. Not as horrible as shooting little kids in their faces like happened not long ago, but horrible.

Out of the entire black population, how many have murdered cops?

Good to see your racism out in the open. Always best to know who one is dealing with.

Is it wrong to automatically accuse a cop of racism in the cases you describe? Absolutely.
But cops do profile. That's a given. How can you not get that is wrong and dangerous???

Yet these same people see nothing wrong with electing a bigot and wonder why anyone takes issue with Trump putting a Bannon in his cabinet.
We have had a bigot in the WH for the last 8years.

Really, more YBM are killed in Chicago any given weekend than all random acts of violence by YWM combined.
