    Charlottesville Crash Driver & State Troopers Killed In Helicopter Identified – UPDATE

    by Greg Evans

    August 12, 2017 7:14pm


    Virginia State Police

    UPDATED with arrest & casualty info Virginia officials confirmed that 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. of Maumee, Ohio, was arrested and has been booked on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding and failure to stop for an accident involving a death.(See his mug shot below). Fields’ booking was confirmed by Superintendent Martin Kumer with the Albermarle-Charlottesville County Regional Jail.

    James Alex Fields Jr.

    Albermarle-Charlottesville County Regional Jail

    Three people died as a result of today’s violent clashes in Charlottesville, including one killed in what appeared to be Fields’ intentional car crash and two state troopers who died in a helicopter accident.


    The troopers, Lieutenant H. Jay Cullen, 48, of Midlothian, Va. (above left) and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates of Quinton, Va. (above right) are being considered casualties of the violence since they were on duty, monitoring the Charlottesville protests from the helicopter.


    In a press conference confirming the three deaths, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe made the clear, anti-white-nationalist message that President Donald Trump did not. “I have a message to the white supremacists and the nazis who came into Charlottesville today,” McAuliffe said at the televised 6 pm conference. “Go home. You are not wanted in this great commonwealth. You pretend that you are patriots, but you are anything but patriots.”


    Two of the deaths were the result of a Virginia State Police helicopter crash in nearby Albemarle County; the third death was a pedestrian killed in what police consider an intentional car crash. The connection of the helicopter accident to the violence was not immediately clarified.


    President Donald Trump has tweeted his condolences to the “families & fellow officers of the VA State Police who died today” and to the pedestrian’s family, wishing “best regards to all of those injured.”

    Said McAuliffe to white nationalists during his presser, “You came here today to hurt people. There is no place for you here, there is no place for you in America.”


    “So please, go home and never come back,” he said. “Take your hatred and take your bigotry, there is no place.”


    At the same press conference, Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer said the bigotry was brought to his city by “outsiders” who “belong on the trash heap of history.”


    Charlottesville police chief Al Thomas confirmed the three deaths, noting that none of 35 injuries were attributable to engagement with law enforcement. Nine pedestrians were injured in the car crash, with injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening.


    A 32-year-old female pedestrian was killed in the crash; Thomas declined to identify the victim pending family notification.


    A male suspect has been arrested in the death, and Thomas said the incident is being treated as a criminal homicide.


    CBS News tweeted a photo from near the helicopter crash site:

    Funeral held for Houston police sergeant who died on his way to work during Harvey

    COMING UPSon of fallen Houston officer: 'I know my dad is at peace'

    A Houston police sergeant who died trying to get to work during Hurricane Harvey was remembered this morning at a funeral service, where his son called him the "greatest protector, defender and rescuer."


    Sgt. Steve Perez, a 34-year veteran, "was bravely serving the city of Houston in the face of this unprecedented weather-related disaster when his vehicle entered high water," the Houston Police Department said.


    Perez, a father and husband, died two days shy of his 61st birthday, according to the police department.


    PHOTO: Sgt. Steve Perez, 60, pictured, drowned in floodwaters on his way to work, Houston Police Chief Ace Acevedo said at a press conference, Aug. 29, 2017.Houston Police/Twitter

    He is survived by his wife, son and daughter, as well as his mother and sisters.


    At today's service, his son, Maverick Perez, said, "Our dad was the greatest protector, defender and rescuer."

    "His love was pure and endless," he added. "His love convinced us we could do anything."


    "I know my dad is at peace," Maverick Perez said. "Although he will be forever missed, I feel inspired knowing he could accomplish more than he could ever dream."

    Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo was emotional last month as he recounted Steve Perez's death.


    On Aug. 27, as Harvey flooded the Houston area, Steve Perez left his home at 4 a.m. in heavy rain to try to get to work, Acevedo said. He later called in to say he had been driving for over two hours to get to his duty station, but he could not find a path, so he followed protocol and started heading to a secondary station, Acevedo said.


    On Aug. 28, Steve Perez wasn't present at roll call and no one could reach him, prompting an extensive search, Acevedo said. The next day, a dive team found his body; he had driven from an underpass into the water and died, Acevedo said.


    According to Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, when Steve Perez's wife asked him to reconsider going into work, he told her, "I've got work to do."


    "The death of Sgt. Perez reminds us of the dangers that police officers willingly face every day in order to serve this great City," the police department said. "We will go through this extremely difficult and trying time with heavy hearts sadly reminded of the ultimate sacrifice one of our own paid."

    Yet target police killings are going down, and maybe one or two by blm or affiliates. Or maybe not at all.

    This is what happens when prisons are privately owned. Bottom line is the dollar. One guard over 30 violent deadly inmates. The prison owners should be put into their own prisons with these type of inmates.
    Violent offenders should be kept away from other inmates in max security.
    This story is terrible!!!! Horrible way to die hammers and scissors.
