Seven Officers Killed in the Line of Duty in the First 13 Days of Jan 2019: Should we be concerned?

The short answer is GOD NO, and here's why.

Very rarely is a cop killed because he or she was doing something heroic or virtuous. As I've reported in the past, the vast majority of on-the-job cop deaths are due to their own bad driving habits and often as a result of violating the laws they enforce on the rest of us.

So let's take a closer look at these so-called "7 officers killed in the line of duty," posted on Facebook by Officer Daniels.

1. Master Police Officer Joseph William Shinners.

According to Fox13now.com, Shinners, a bicycle patrol and SWAT team cop tried to apprehend a so-called "wanted fugitive." Seems this "fugitive" had had enough of being harrassed for bullshit, no-victim so-called "crimes." Seems the guy had kept his nose clean for over 20 years since he was convicted of "retail theft, theft, and burglary." But in the past two years he was hounded by the system for selling drugs, and being a disobedient serf. (DeseretNew.com).  Gee, sounds a tad like the founding fathers.

The details about the actual shooting are vague and sketchy with promises that more info will be released. But it's been over a week and the only details about this shooting are about the suspect's past "criminal" record as if to distract as to what really went down.

Check out the phone video taken by a spectator and posted on DeseretNew.com and you’ll see how it was lucky the overzealous cops didn’t harm anyone in the public.

Am I saying the killer was a saint? Of course not - but neither is any cop.

2. Police Officer Dale Woods.

According to Fox 19.com, Woods “was struck and critically hurt by a pickup truck as he moved a traffic cone at the scene of an auto crash." I wonder if every road worker who had the same fate was also honored with this officer's lavish tax-paid funeral?

3. Police Officer Clayton Townsend.

According to azfamily.com, Townsend was killed during a routine traffic stop by a distracted driver. Routine means the cop was in the middle of extorting someone. In this case, according to www.azcentral.com the extortion was due to an expired registration.  KARMA.

4. Police Officer Natalie Corona.

This 22-year old rookie was killed by what seemed to be a mentally ill man who later allegedly committed suicide. According to nbcnews.com, the suspect left a note saying he had contacted the FBI, the press, and internal affairs to complain about sonic waves so disturbing that he "can’t live this way anymore.” If this is true, then Corona’s death can be related to the inaction of everyone the suspect contacted to get help.

5. Trooper Christopher Lambert.

According to abc7chicago.com, this cop was off duty, on his way home when he stopped to "help" a three car crash. I put the word help in quotations because if this cop had seen some pot or an open container in any of those cars... well, let's just say the harm he could have caused would have been far greater than any help.

6. Sergeant Wytasha Carter.

An undercover cop totally screwed this poor dead cop. Here's what the police chief said took place when that undercover cop called for backup on seeing a vehicle get burglarized:

“What I can tell you is it appears our officers were unable to respond. They were taken completely by surprise.” (nbcnews.com)

7. Officer Chateri Payne.

This lady was shot before she even left her house. So far no one knows who shot her or why. Local police are asking the public for help because they are too inept to do their own work. www.cbsnews.com.

Conclusion:

Of the seven cops killed in the first 13 days of January 2019, THREE were not on the clock, therefore, not technically "on duty," at least not by regular, human-folk standards. Of the remaining four, one was accidental.  A very strong case can be made that the incompetence of officers, their colleagues, and/or agencies contributed greatly to the untimely deaths of three officers.

So should we be concerned? Not about these seven cases. But society should be very concerned that the USSA has such a sad case of Stockholm Syndrome that their "citizens" worship their oppressors with religious fervor and unconditional loyalty.

Also concerning is this "Officer Daniels," who has a popular Facebook page described as follows:

"I'm just here to wear out the donut stereo type. I enjoy making funny police related videos. Grab a donut and some coffee and enjoy!"

Bless his heart, I appreciate that when Officer Daniels isn't leaching off the tax dole, he's a capitalist who's profiting on Amazon with cute quips like, "Deals this good should be a crime!"

Well, to Officer Daniels: There is nothing funny about waking up each work day to ruin someone's day or life in the name of a paycheck. I hope you do well on Amazon and get out of that heinous work and stop pretending that law enforcement is anything but legalized crime.
