Shot Fargo Officer Succumbs to Wounds
Feb 11, 2016 -- A police officer shot while responding to a domestic dispute call to a home near downtown Fargo has died, authorities said Thursday afternoon. Before dawn Thursday, that the gunman was found by officers shot to death in his residence.

Chief David Todd said he did not know whether the suspect, identified as 49-year-old Marcus C. Schumacher, was killed “from us engaging him or [from] something self-inflicted.” The chief earlier said the man believed to have killed Officer Jason Moszer also exchanged gunfire with a SWAT officer after Moszer was wounded. “People are hunting us,” Cass County Sheriff Paul Laney said during a late-morning news briefing, referring to a number of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty around the country in recent days. “And how do you think that sits with us?”

Officer Jason Moszer was fatally shot while responding to a domestic dispute call to a home in the city's downtown Wednesday night​

The incident began about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 300 block of 9th Avenue N. and led to an all-night standoff between the gunman and police. About 6:15 a.m., Todd declared the standoff “resolved,” and officers were leaving the scene shortly before 7 a.m. Moszer, 33, was among the officers who initially responded to a report of domestic violence at the home, located less than two blocks from Sanford’s extensive medical facilities.

Officer was on perimeter

Laney matter of factly fielded reporters’ questions but fought his emotions near the end. “We wear this badge with honor and pride, and we’re going to go out every day to protect our communities,” the sheriff said. “We lost a brother last night. We’re going to wake up today and go out and do it again. We’re not going to quit. We’re not going to back off.

“A chunk of our souls was taken today.”

Georgia Officer Shot, Killed Serving Warrant
February 11, 2016 - Officials said that the suspect ran out a back door of an apartment complex and shot Riverdale Police Maj. Greg 'Lem' Barney in the torso.

During his 18 years as municipal judge, Mike Martin said Riverdale police Maj. Greg ‘Lem’ Barney was a constant presence. “Either serving as my bailiff … or testifying at multiple trials,” he said in a post on his public Facebook page. “He was the total professional.” Martin said he was stunned to hear Barney was shot and killed Thursday “while he was simply doing his job.” Clayton County police officers tried to serve a no-knock drug warrant about 11:15 a.m. at the Villages on the River, an apartment complex in the 6600 block of Church Street, Clayton police Chief Michael Register told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The officer knocked on the suspect’s front door. Instead of surrendering, the suspect ran out a back door. “He ran approximately 100 to 200 feet from the incident location and we had officers from Riverdale on the perimeter,” Register said. “He confronted one of the Riverdale officers and shot the officer in the torso.” The suspect took off running toward the front of the apartment complex, where he was confronted and shot by a Clayton police officer, Register said. Barney, who was not wearing a bulletproof vest, was taken to Southern Regional Medical Center, where doctors “worked vigorously to revive” him, Register said.

Just before 2:15 p.m., the chief, who was visibly shaken, announced the worst. “Unfortunately,” Register said, “the Riverdale officer has succumbed to his injuries.” He referred all questions about Barney to the Riverdale Police Department. The suspect was taken to Atlanta Medical Center in critical condition, Clayton fire spokesman David Vasquez told Channel 2 Action News. No Clayton officers were injured in the shooting, Register said. However, “it’s a difficult time for everyone,” he said. “Anytime something like this happens, it’s just sad.”

The apartment complex was covered with officers from multiple agencies Thursday afternoon. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation was asked to look into the incident, which is normal protocol in officer-involved shootings. Barney’s body is at GBI headquarters, where an autopsy will be performed Friday morning, agency spokesman Scott Dutton said. Martin, the former longtime Riverdale municipal judge, said his thoughts and prayers were with Barney’s family. “Clayton County law enforcement in general and the Riverdale Police Department in particular lost a good one today,” he said. “Rest in peace my friend.”

Maryland Deputies Slain in Attack Identified
February 11, 2016 - Harford County Sheriff's Deputies Patrick Dailey and Mark Logsdon were killed in a shooting Wednesday that began at the Abingdon Panera.

Harford County Sheriff Jeffrey R. Gahler identified the two deputies killed in a shooting Wednesday that began at the Abingdon Panera Bread before unfolding in the streets nearby. Deputy Patrick Dailey was a 30-year veteran of the force, assigned to the court service division, and Deputy Mark Logsdon was a 16-year veteran assigned to the community services division. Both have been honored for their valor on the job. "These men are heroes," Gahler said at a Thursday morning briefing.

The 68-year-old suspect, whom officials described as a vagrant, was also killed in the confrontation in Abingdon, a community 30 miles northeast of Baltimore. The mayhem erupted at a Panera Bread restaurant shortly before noon in the Boulevard at Box Hill shopping center. Dailey went into the restaurant and approached the suspect, who produced a handgun and shot him "almost immediately," Gahler said.

The suspect was identified as David Brian Evans. Gahler said there were two warrants for Evans' arrest -- a criminal warrant for allegedly assaulting a police officer in Florida and a civil warrant issued in Harford County. Gahler said he believed Evans targeted one of the deputies inside the Panera "because he was in a police uniform." Dailey arrived a Panera Bread shortly after a call came in from a citizen at 11:40 a.m. regarding the suspect. Dailey entered the restaurant and approached Evans, who was seated alone at a table. Evans pulled a handgun without warning and shot Dailey in the head, police said. He then ran from the restaurant toward Parkview at Box Hill, a senior apartment complex.

Just after noon, Deputy Logsdon arrived with other deputies and found Evans sitting in the front seat of a vehicle parked at the apartment complex. Evans fired multiple shots, striking Logsdon. Deputies, including Logsdon, returned fire, striking Evans. Dailey was transported to Maryland Shock Trauma by Maryland State Police helicopter. Logsdon was taken by ambulance to Upper Chesapeake Medical Center. The deputies are believed to be the first in Harford to be killed by gunfire on duty in more than a century.

Screw the Democrats.

Hildog and Bernie are trashing on cops on CNN in the debate. Calling EVERYTHING racist too. Disgusting debate.

We shouldn't have the most prisoners on earth either and we're going to have to work with the black community either way at the end of the day on this. I think it is a good idea to make most of the officers of those communities reflect the racial makeup of those communities as the people my learn to respect the cops.

Maybe we can start bringing jobs back to America with better trade deals and less h1b's fucking over the innercities.

Here's the problem with the idea of making the police "look like" the neighborhood they patrol. We tried that in Atlanta. Mostly black cops patrolled black hoods. White ones white areas.

Know what happened? They cried racism. Yep. Said APD "only sends black cops into the most dangerous areas while white ones get the cushy low crime assignments".

Seriously....cant make this shit up. So having mostly black cops patrol black hoods....is racist. Because that means you send all the black cops into the most dangerous areas.

Yep. Funny how some always preach about how many people cops shoot in other (far smaller) countries with very different demographics.

But they don't mention how many cops are killed in those countries vs here.

Our cops definitely need to be more careful than those in other countries.
