Is Killing Cops Good or Bad? (Upstate NY)

Is killing cops good or bad?

In Rochester, New York, there seems to be some disagreement on that issue.

On Monday, Rochester buried a murdered cop. Three days later, on Thursday, Rochester celebrated a guy who murdered a cop.

Two cops, actually.

Maybe that’s just balance – providing both sides of the issue.

Or maybe it’s an explanation of why Rochester has become a cesspool of violence, with one of the highest homicide rates in the nation.

Anthony Mazurkiewicz was a grandfather with 29 years on the job when he and another officer were ambushed in their vehicle, savagely attacked from behind with a spray of gunfire. That was a couple of weeks ago in Rochester. Wavery Jones and Joseph Piagentini were young fathers at the start of their careers when they were ambushed after a call, savagely attacked from behind with a spray of gunfire. That was 50 years ago in Harlem.

A piece of trash named Kelvin Vickers is accused of killing Anthony Mazurkiewicz. A piece of trash named Anthony Bottom was convicted of killing Wavery Jones and Joseph Piagentini.

On Monday, glory-hounding politicians tried to crowd in around the edges as the family and colleagues of Anthony Mazurkiewicz laid him to rest. It was a somber and moving time, with a city seemingly paying its respects.

But that didn’t last long.

Lonsberry has swung back and forth from RINO squish to making sense over the last couple years. I believe this is an attempt on his part to be "moderate." (which is nauseating at best)

This article happens to be when he's making sense.

What a loony question from Lonsberry.

Please can we post at least semi-intelligent articles on FR?

There’s that whole 10 Commandments thing about Thou shall not murder, so I’m going to say BAD.

Depends on what the cop is doing. Busting a rapist: Not ok to shoot the cop.

Busting a grandmother playing with her kids in a park because some leftist has declared a "lockdown" for a virus with at 99.7% survival rate: Ok to shoot the cop.

The question is rhetorical. The article points out that after holding a funeral for a cop killed by a thug, the same city council has invited Anthony Bottoms, convicted copy killer to speak at various venues, hailing him as some sort of hero.

Exactly.

Even the attempted murder of a police officer should carry a mandatory sentence of death (why should we cut criminals slack just because they're incompetent?). And if there are (at least) three eye-witnesses whose stories corroborate each other, sentence is to be carried out immediately. No appeals, no delays, straight from the courtroom to the gallows.
