Cop Out

[Cynique]

Another Chicago policeman was shot dead last week, a black, 62-year-old veteran, months away from retirement. Just getting off duty, exiting his brand new Buick in front of his home, he was gunned down by young thugs intending to steal his car. Scared off when he returned gun fire before succumbing to his wounds, the perpetrators who are suspected gang members fled on foot.

This is the third Chicago officer murdered in 2 months and, according to authorities, the gangs have moreorless declared war on the police, sending a message that they have no respect for the uniform. Compounding the problem is the “no-snitch” street code which prevents investigators from getting any information about these or any other murders. The reward for this latest slaying has reached $70,000 but for various reason, nobody is coming forward to confirm suspicions

An article which recently appeared in the Chicago-Sun-Times claimed that even the military has increasing numbers of gang-affiliated members, who will be bringing their combat tactics home to utilize in street wars; a bad sign.

There was a time when crooks had second thoughts about killing a cop. But not any more. This new breed has no regard for the boys in blue. Respect for the badge is gone and the streets are killing fields. Law and order are the pillars of a strong society, and once they break down, anarchy ensues. How will it all end? What can be done? Does the solution lie in the gangs killing themselves off? According to the old adage, those who live by the gun, will die by it. Hopefully.

Nice post. I agree with your sentiment. The venomous coon culture cancer is growing more lethal by the day. Tragically, there is nothing on the horizon that is going to change any of it..........
