What if they never find anyone responsible? Will people accuse the dead cop of lying?

They are never going to catch those guys — unless one of them starts shooting off his mouth.

I wouldn’t take bets on that if I were you .. remember the two guys who escaped from the prison ..?? Well, people said the same thing about them .. and they killed one and re-arrested the other.

Never underestimate the instincts of a good police officer.

Has anyone heard if the officer was murdered with his own weapon?

Yes. Also, I wonder what they were doing that caught the officer’s attention in the first place? So far, no reports reveal that, so perhaps they’re tracking the thugs through some connection with the “suspicious activity,” whatever it was.

The whole world remembers them. We had photographs of them.

All we have here is “2 white men, 1 black man”

Not enough.

If they’re anything under age 30, one of them will shoot his mouth off. Just remember how hard it was for you in those early years of your life not to shoot you mouth off about something like that.

I cannot believe in this day of cell phone cameras and surveillance cameras nobody saw anything. Someone had to know these individuals and hopefully will come forward with their identity. God be with the officers searching for these animals.

Well, I never did anything like that — or even close.

But crew I ran with was remarkably tight with operational security.

I'm thinkin' the cop was lured into a 'black lives matter' ambush. The time between his call for backup and his murder is mere minutes, less than 5 minutes I believe.

If the cop walked 50 yards from his vehicle, I'm thinking he was 'set up'. A 50 yard walk away from your vehicle with 3 suspicious dudes lurking about in a remote wooded/marshy area is NOT a wise maneuver before backup arrives.

I should also mention the possibility this could be a terrorist ambush of the Islamo kind. Perhaps the two ‘whites’ are really Muzzies?

If a ‘citizen’ made a call to police about these three guys they REALLY need to track that person down because they could be involved in the setup. Just speculation.

Yes, the time frame is very tight. I was surprised when I read it.

I still would never underestimate the talents of the police officer.

I thought they said it was a robbery (from a home) .. and when the cop showed up, they took off running.

Maybe he should have given chase alone ..??

Can’t they use cell tower info to see who was in the area to interview?

If that happened, believe me when I tell you the police wouldn't be that stupid. They would respond in force.
