Man Suspected of Setting Fire to Church and Painting 'Jesus Is Black' Kills Cop in Shootout

In the wee hours of the morning on Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, an arsonist spray-painted the message, “Jesus is Black” in a Roman Catholic Church in Toledo, Ohio, while setting fire to parts of the church. Police later caught up to the suspect, 27-year-old Christopher A. Harris. Harris shot and killed a police officer in a shootout that also claimed his life. Harris’s Facebook account includes multiple posts with the message, “Jesus is Black,” and one post evoking King’s assassination days before the church arson.

Shortly before 2:30 a.m. on Monday, a vandal reportedly attempted to set fire to Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral after he had repeatedly spray-painted the message, “Jesus is Black” on the church’s walls. While the local fire department crews initially reported they did not see a fire, a follow-up investigation found evidence of a flash fire at the entry doors to the church, WTOL 11 News reported.

The fire appears to have extinguished itself after a neighbor who lives across the street from the church called the police to report a fire. The apparent arson attempt only damaged the large wooden entry doors and trim. The fire department estimated the damage to the church at $5,100.

Authorities identified Harris as the suspect and cornered him in a standoff on Monday afternoon. In the resulting shootout, Harris shot 24-year-old police officer Brandon Stalker in the head, WTOL reported. Stalker had a fiancé and two young children, a 7-year-old daughter and a 3-month-old son who had been born on October 15, 2020.

“The entire Toledo Police family is in shock,” Toledo Police Chief Geroge Kral said. “Another hero has paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting the residents of Toledo. Our hearts are heavy tonight.”

BLM and the rest of the Left has made police hesitate before shooting dangerous black suspects.

Hesitation = death.

Thank God this racist a-hole is finally dead. It’s too bad an officer had to die, though, in the process.

A “family side” view.
Why doesn’t the media do such sympathetic stories on all shootings??????
