A Tulsa police sergeant died Tuesday after being shot multiple times during a traffic stop.
Sgt. Craig Johnson, 45, came to provide backup assistance to another officer who pulled over David Anthony Ware, 33, for an expired paper license. The suspect would not get out of the vehicle when officers said it would have to be towed, and that's when things escalated.

Despite Johnson trying to use nonlethal force—the suspect pulled a gun on him and another officer.A struggle ensued, in which Sergeant Johnson fired his Taser at Mr. Ware, who removed the stun gun’s prongs from his body. Sergeant Johnson then used pepper spray on Mr. Ware, who pulled out a handgun and fired several rounds at the officers as they removed him from the car, the chief said.​

The condition of the other officer, Aurash Zarkeshan, 26, who had just finished training in May and had been on patrol for about six weeks, was described on Monday as critical. The Tulsa Fraternal Order of Police referred questions on Tuesday about Officer Zarkeshan’s condition to the Police Department, which did not give an update.
Armin Zarkeshan, Officer Zarkeshan’s brother, said in a brief interview on Tuesday night that the officer was “doing better.”
Mr. Ware was arrested later on Monday and was charged with first-degree murder, shooting with intent to kill and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, the authorities said. (The New York Times)

~~Snip~~
The shooting comes as anti-police brutality protests sweep the nation in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody. Calls to defund the police are also gaining steam, with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announcing $1 billion in cuts to the NYPD. In Minneapolis, the city council has also moved to defund the police.


Comment:
Although the Biased media has buried this story deep in their pages, the fact remains that the actions of the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftist funded terrorists has placed our Law Enforcement officers in jeopardy.
As reported here career criminals and terrorists have attacked LEO's and claim that police are at fault. Not so...
This blood is on the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Left, JoeB biden and the other assclowns that have gotten the LEOs to second guess their every decision now. Won't be long before most of the LEOs institute the FIDO rule. "F**k It Drive On" when responding to an incident.
PMS/DSA Democrat Mayors that propose defunding their city's police forces place the lives of it's citizens in the hands of mob rule of the marxist Left and we have seen where that went in Europe, Russia, China, Cuba and Venezuela. But they keep telling us this time will be different.
Imagine having to deal with bizarre homicidal maniacs like the thing shown here daily.
Then knowing that delusional weaklings like the mayors of Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, NYC do not have your backs.
Indeed, they favor those attacking you.
When is the #Blue Lives Matter marches and demostrations to begin?
Meanwhile the casualty statistics of Black on Black stootings and murders continues to rise.

Write him a ticket and be on your way. Losing your life and the costs of incarcerating a man for life is not worth the few extra dollars a city gets in impound fee's.

The Left will have the entire US looking like Chicago.

That's the plan. They need ANARCHY before they can grab power

Democracy then degenerates into tyranny where no one has discipline and society exists in chaos. Democracy is taken over by the longing for freedom. Power must be seized to maintain order. A champion will come along and experience power, which will cause him to become a tyrant. -- Plato

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Next time the police should fire lethal rounds.

 

[Wyatt earp]

Write him a ticket and be on your way. Losing your life and the costs of incarcerating a man for life is not worth the few extra dollars a city gets in impound fee's.

The cop doesn't write the rules they enforce them

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I'm sure the cops just forgot to wear their omniscience helmets and had no way to know this minor traffic stop would result in death for one of them.

This is the sort of disingenuous duplicity we expect from scum you. Thanks for always coming through.

He has the option.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

You can say whatever your lack of morals and honesty will allow...the fact is this guy got tasered and hit with pepper spray before shooting the cop. There was a distinct period of time when this cretin's life was not in
peril, though maybe his liberty was. Lie harder next time.

Timothy Loehmans life was never in peril either.

Irrelevant. He can claim he was in fear of his life.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I'm not sure that addressed my point. Well, I know it didnt.

It addressed everything the situation presented. The police can (A) simply start writing tickets for every sort
of traffic violation to avoid getting shot or (B) try to enforce the laws as written.
Figure it out, smart guy.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Timothy Loehmans life was never in peril either.

Who is that? And why does it matter?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Irrelevant. He can claim he was in fear of his life.

I'm sure he will make that claim when on trial for murder in the first degree. Let's see what good it does him.
