    Tacoma Shooting Survivor: 'I Don't Want to Hear About Black Lives Matter'
    BY DEBRA HEINE DECEMBER 2, 2016 CHAT 366 COMMENTS

    Police stand by a distraught Kristi Croskey at the scene where a Tacoma Police officer was shot while responding to a domestic call in East Tacoma, Wash., Wednesday, Nov. 30, 2016. Croskey was in the house with the shooter and fled. KCPQ-TV reports an officer was taken to a Tacoma hospital Wednesday after the incident at about 5:30 p.m. (Peter Haley/The News Tribune via AP)
    November was a terrible month and 2016 is proving to be a terrible year for the men and women in law enforcement. As of this Wednesday, 60 police officers have been shot and killed this year, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page, a 67 percent increase over this time last year. During the month of November alone, twelve officers were killed by gunfire.
    What makes the problem worse is the disturbing trend of officers being intentionally targeted as police tactics and shootings by police, particularly in cases involving minorities, are facing greater scrutiny.
    Four police officers were shot last weekend – one fatally – and in at least two of the incidents, investigators allege that the assailants were looking to kill police officers. A gunman angry over the fatal police shootings of black men killed five police officers in Dallas and wounded nine more at a July 7 protest – the rampage was the deadliest day for police since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

    Put another way, this year is shaping up to be the first in Crystal Lake Police Chief James Black’s almost 30-year career that the number of police killed by firearms will be greater than the number of police who die in accidents. He and other police chiefs are wondering why they aren’t hearing a lot more outrage from the public.
    One member of the public spoke up in Tacoma, Washington, this week.

    Here's What Tomi Lahren Meant by Asking, 'What Did the KKK Do?'
    Kristi Croskey owns the Tacoma, Washington, home where a domestic disturbance call resulted in a deadly police stand-off Wednesday. Tacoma police officer Reginald J. "Jake" Gutierrez was killed after being shot by a 38-year-old man -- who was fatally shot by police hours later.

    “I don’t want to hear about Black Lives Matter, because all lives matter” Creskey said. “I do not want to hear about the police officers being inhumane and shooting people unnecessarily or any of those things. I want to say that the Tacoma Police Department handled this matter with such professionalism despite their own being shot. I want to say that this did not have to occur. I want to say that when you make poor choices, and the response is someone being killed, if that may be the situation -- I want you to know that the Tacoma Police Department did any and everything that they could to protect and serve. They wanted to protect the life of him, his family, and anyone else who was involved in this matter. I do not want to hear anything about the Tacoma police Department did wrong -- I want people to start taking a long inventory of themselves and see what they did wrong."

    Croskey said she was in the home at the time of the shooting to pick up some items she had left there.

    Croskey, who moved out of the home about seven months ago, said she knew the suspect and his wife and didn't know of any problems in the relationship.
    "I'm caught off guard just like everybody else," Croskey said.

    The stand-off began around 4 p.m. Wednesday. Police Chief Don Ramsdell said animal control officers were called to the home because of a report of an injured dog.

    They came across the suspect's wife, who had been locked out of the home. Animal control then called for backup from Tacoma police and Gutierrez responded along with his partner.
    The two officers entered the home with the help of the homeowner, Ramsdell said. Gutierrez and his partner went upstairs, which is where Gutierrez was shot multiple times. His partner returned fire then helped get the suspect's wife out of the house.

    Gutierrez was transported to Tacoma General Hospital for surgery. Police announced his death around 9 p.m.

    SWAT moved into the home around 3:30 a.m., but it was a Pierce County sheriff's deputy outside the home who shot and killed the suspect through a bedroom window, police say.

    "We negotiated through the night. Negotiations failed. We went in. Took one of the kids when we had a chance and (the suspect) grabbed the other kid. One of our officers felt he had a shot. He took it," said Det. Ed Troyer, Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman.

    Ramsdell later said one child was rescued from the porch. The other was rescued after SWAT confronted the suspect.


    Gutierrez was 45 years old and had been with the department since 1999.

    Choking back tears, Chief Ramsdell said, "He's a model police officer. He's highly dedicated to his profession. He's highly dedicated to his community. And he demonstrated that every day that he came to work."

    Muslim American cop has her life threatened by right wing bigot:



    Trump’s America: Bigot Threatens To Kill Muslim NYPD Cop For Wearing Hijab

    An observant Muslim woman in Brooklyn, New York tried to stop her 16-year-old son from being bullied, but what happened next was shamelessly awful. New York’s 880 AM radio reported exclusively that the bigots harassing her son stopped, and turned on her saying:

    “ISIS (expletive), I will cut your throat, go back to your country!”

    The bigots had no idea that they had just threatened Aml Elsokary, a native New Yorker, and a highly decorated NYPD officer, whose a real-life tale of heroic public service that has been recognized at the highest levels.

    In April 2014 the mother of five bravely stormed into a burning building to save an elderly man and an infant. The NYPD’s 980-member Muslim Officers Society shared this tweet of Officer Elsokary receiving her award in 2015:


    Officer Aml Elsokary is also one of the few NYPD officers to wear a hijab on duty. She joined the NYPD just after 9/11 to, “show people that the terrible acts of that day contradicted the teachings of Islam,” according to the NYDN’s quote from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who honored Elsokary’s heroism at a 2014 dinner at Gracie Mansion honoring the Ramadan Iftar holiday, “As both a Muslim and a native New Yorker, she knew she needed to get involved.”

    It’s disgusting to watch the wave of nativism wash over America’s streets in the wake of Donald Trump’s electoral victory last month – achieved with a minority of the total votes. NYPD says that they’re investigating 34 hate crimes in the three weeks after the election, compared to only 13 similar incidents in the same time period last year. The Southern Poverty Law Center has recorded 867 hate crimes since the election.

    NYPD’s hate crimes division has already reviewed surveillance video of the threats against Officer Elsokary, and the Hate Crimes Unit is investigating.

    Charges dropped against man in Wayne State University officer's shooting death

    Wayne State University police officer Colin Rose WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY
    27 Comments Share Tweet Stumble Email
    DETROIT -- Murder charges have been dropped against a man in the killing of a Detroit college police officer who was shot in the head last month.

    Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said Wednesday that charges have been dropped. The 31-year-old Detroit man was accused of shooting Wayne State University Officer Collin Rose on Nov. 22. The man had been jailed without bond since his arrest that night. He faced charges of first-degree murder and murder of a police officer.

    Worthy said during a brief conference Wednesday he’s no longer a suspect.

    Wayne State employs about 65 officers. The 29-year-old Rose died a day after the shooting and was posthumously promoted to sergeant. He is the only Wayne State officer to have been killed in the line of duty.

    This is horrible and should be front page news. Corrections staff only has this reputation of "abusing inmates". These brave men and women deal with bull(*)(*)(*)(*) all day and die because some inmate wants street cred.
