Discussion: Suspect Arrested In Killing, Wounding Of Florida Police Officers

This story proves once again that being a police officer is tough duty. I am glad they got the guy. I hope they throw away the key.

Everett Miller faces a charge of first-degree murder for the killing of Officer Matthew Baxter and could face other charges for the wounding of Officer Sam Howardā€¦

Ya think?

The officers didnā€™t have an opportunity to return fire.

I take it the suspect was white then? That never seems to be a problem otherwiseā€¦

Must be a WHITE perp. They would have killed a black suspect!

The suspect is a Black former marine that served in Afghanistan. He was being treated for PTSD so there you go. War is a killer both on the battlefield an in your own back yard. Everyone is a looser in this.

Trump: That was a Fake White Guy. He must be a Brown Muslim (or member of BLM) from the inside.

???Who, the cop?

No, it was a black perp that killed the cops. But why the fuck is the race of the person relevant? All races have killed cops, and they are all assholes. This one was black.

I stand corrected.

However, given the history, it was a valid starting assumption donā€™t you think?

I donā€™t like to assume. Itā€™s also a fact that blacks by percentage commit far more violent crime than white. So if there is a murder, I should assume itā€™s a black person (like people on FOX do)? Iā€™d never do that. Iā€™d rather not use ā€œstatsā€ when judging an individual situation, Iā€™d rather just analyze the facts. And as to stats, Iā€™d note that there already have been ambushes/executions of cops by more blacks than whites. Frankly, I my immediate reaction to this story had nothing to do with race, it was more about who this asshole was and to be sure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
