Officers escort daughter of fallen cop to school father-daughter dance.

MEMPHIS —In July of 2011, Memphis Officer Tim Warren, was shot and killed in the line of duty.

Recently Officer Warren's daughter Jewel received an invitation to attend a father-daughter dance at her school.

Warren's widow contacted Taylor Amen, a Memphis police Department Officer's wife, who arranged for several officers to escort Warren's daughter to her father-daughter dance.

"We know we cannot replace Tim, but we can be there for his family when we are needed. It was truly a honor," said Officer Amen.

(WMC-TV) - Memphis police filed first degree murder charges Tuesday against the man accused of shooting a Memphis police officer and another man Sunday at the DoubleTree Hotel in downtown Memphis.

Alexander Haydel, 22, is charged with killing Officer Timothy Warren, 39, along with Arthur Warren, 49.

It started on Beale Street, where police say Haydel and other family members were visiting from Cleveland, Mississippi. Haydel got into an argument with his wife and bit her lip, cutting the inside of her mouth.

Arthur Warren, the woman’s ex-husband, intervened.

Eventually, the whole family returned to the DoubleTree Hotel. Then, Haydel retrieved handguns from two of the three cars the family used to caravan to Memphis.

Haydel confronted Arthur Warren on the 9th floor of the hotel, pulled one of the guns from his waistband, and shot him.

When police showed up, officers were told there was a man down firing a gun on either the 8th or 9th floor of the hotel. Several officers went up the stairwell, getting off on the 8th floor.

Officer Timothy Warren continued up to the 9th floor, and ran into Haydel as he tried to escape down the stairs.

Investigators say Haydel shot and killed Warren, and then took the service weapon and two fully loaded magazines from Warren’s duty belt.

According to the affidavit of complaint, Haydel told investigators he then positioned two fire extinguishers near Warren’s body. Second, he went up the stairwell to “higher ground” to gain a tactical advantage on other officers who showed up to help Warren.

Haydel told investigators he planned to shoot the fire extinguishers when additional officers arrived, hoping the fire extinguishers would explode and, “...kill everyone in the blast radius.”

Haydel, who does not have a criminal record in his hometown of Cleveland, Mississippi, is locked up at 201 Poplar without bond.

His first court appearance is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

Memphis Police Officer Timothy Warren and another person were brutally murdered by Alexander Haydel, 24, in July 2011.

In January, 2014, more than two years later (!), and after initially listing four aggravating factors for seeking the death penalty, Shelby County Prosecutor Jennifer Nichols did a flip-flop and allowed Haydel to plead guilty to two charges of first-degree murder in order to avoid the death penalty. Haydel is serving two life sentences without parole [in theory] at the Tennessee Department of Correction.

A month later, Prosecutor Nichols was promoted to Deptuy District Attorney.

Fallen officer’s children deal with loss

(WMC-TV) - Fallen Memphis Police Officer Timothy Warren’s children returned home Tuesday for the first time since losing their dad.

“It’s real hectic,” said their grandfather, Asa Atkinson, of the toll Warren’s murder was having on the family.

Family members broke the news to the children a day later, on Independence Day.
Warren’s son, eight-year-old James, was extremely close to his father, and is not taking the death well.

“James broke down when he walked in the house and his dad wasn’t there,” Atkinson said.

His grandfather said James climbed onto Warren’s motorcycle and had a hard cry.
As for four-year-old Jewel, family members believe she may not yet understand that she will never see her father again.

“It hasn’t sunk in yet with Jewel,” Atkinson said.

Warren’s widow spent a great deal of the day filling out paperwork related to her husband’s death.

Meanwhile, Atkinson dreads how this profound loss will affect the children.
“It’s going to be hard, particularly when they’re older,” he said.

That’s quite a question you asked.

I wouldn’t presume to try to answer it.

But more recently things have certainly gotten worse:

Schools as leftwing indoctrination centers

The left not wanting boys to act like males

The concentrated plan to drug all children—Ritalin, etc.

The heavy, insane indoctrination in homosexuality

The increasingly powerful news media indoctrination

The insanity in the muslim world
