Suspected cop killer Shawn Labeet shot dead in Pembroke Pines
Miami Hearld ^ | Fri, Sept 14, 2007 | David Ovalle and Manny Garcia

Posted on 09/13/2007 10:13:38 PM PDT by flattorney

The man suspected of killing one Miami-Dade cop and wounding three others Thursday morning in a shootout in south Miami-Dade was cornered and shot dead in a Pembroke Pines apartment complex sometime before midnight, a law enforcement source told The Miami Herald. Miami-Dade police would not confirm the information about suspect Shawn Sherwin LaBeet, but scheduled a news conference for 12:30 a.m. at its headquarters in Doral. After receiving a tip Thursday evening that LaBeet was hiding in an apartment complex in Pembroke Pines, Miami-Dade sent its SWAT team, the source told The Herald.

All’s well that ends well..or is it?

His possible connections to Islamists in Tampa may be harder to track now.

On the other hand- he met a fitting end.

Does “no one” include the shoot outs at Ruby Ridge and Waco?.

Yes. If law enforcement comes looking for you, you go along peacefully and let the courts decide the justice or injustice of it all. Otherwise we become a third world hellhole without the rule of law.

There is no way that I can answer you. I am feeling so much disgust after reading what you wrote.

ACLU to file suit against Miami-Dade Police for violence! ACLU says cop deserved to die! ACLU says all cops are wanton killers! Anti-American Communist Liberal Union!

I know exactly what you're saying....and it makes sense.

However, when a police officer is slain, and his fellow officers are on the hunt, you know that the perp stands little to no chance of being "just wounded" or even captured, gun battle or no gun battle.

"And how he bought assault weapons."

I've seen many people comment on that.

My comment was that this would be a question asked by the gungrabbers.

My sincere apology for causing that feeling. But "feelings" are what cause the other side to morph into moonbats, facts and logic be damned.

And though I'm sure you are not advocating shooting LEOs who are doing a job assigned to them, you have made it sound that way.

I cried for the children at Waco, but am not convinced that the murderous cultists did not start the fire themselves. Even though the evil Reno was in charge.

In each case you name, surrender would have saved lives, innocent or otherwise. They chose to resist arrest with violence and died for it.

Is Miami-Dade a separate city from Miami or is that just the real name for the city?

My feelings about you or your opinion has not changed. No body advocated shooting LEOS. You must really have a short memory about Waco. What if you are not allowed to surrender?.

It doesn’t really matter , I am through with you.

A comment on the other thread at the beginning of this incident yesterday said that he had bought the guns through legal sources but using somebody else’s name. He was using the ID of Kevin Wehner, and apparently had been using it since last October. LaBeet is a convicted felon and cannot buy guns, but Wehner was not, and LaBeet (who actually does resemble Wehner somewhat) used Wehner’s ID to buy the guns.

My question is where he got the money to buy the weapons. People on the other thread who were gun collectors said that weapons of the type he bought would have cost at least $15,000 each. Where did he come up with $45,000 to buy them? And why did he need three of them - who else was he planning on arming?

They were half-brothers and didn’t have the same mom. Daddy LaBeet apparently made the rounds.

Please don't get me wrong! I'm NOT saying that the loss of a fine, brave police officer equates with the loss of a scumbag in any way! The world is a better place with this man dead.

I'm only saying that, when someone commits a crime, many times their families are as victimized as the families of the actual victims. I assume the best (most times) and I'm assuming that, at one point, this woman held her child in her arms, (just as I did with my own son), wondered at his perfection, and realized that he had all the potential in the world.

Then watched him turn into a monster with no hope of Earthly redemption.

Maybe I'm just projecting how *I* would feel if my son turned out so badly. Maybe she's a crack-whore who doesn't give a crap one way or the other. (Most likely she contributed to what he's become.) Maybe I'm only hurting for the way it *ought* to be.

And yes, I'm thinking much more about the mothers, wives, fathers and children of the dead cop and of their loss. My husbands a soldier and I know that they've worried about him every day. (You can't help it when someone you love is walking into the fire.) I have no doubt that they've prayed for his safety then put his life in God's hands and hoped for the best. And now their plagued with his absence and thoughts of all the things he'll never get to share with them in this life.

Oh yes, I'm so glad this dirt-bag has taken a dirt-nap! I'm relieved that he won't have the opportunity to hurt anyone again! I'm also relieved that our courts and news won't be strangled with his trial for the next year.

(I can sympathize with his mom and still have no problem that this man received a well-earned justice.)
