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.

104 people shot, 14 dead over weekend in Chicago

More than 100 people were shot in Chicago over the Father’s Day weekend and at least 14 of them died, marking the most violent weekend in the city so far this year.The Chicago Sun-T…

Dozens shot, at least three killed on violent July 4th weekend in NYC: cops

Nearly 40 people were shot across New York City from the Fourth of July into early Sunday — including several fatalities, police sources said.

nypost.com

police make 10 MILLION arrests per year
.there are MILLIONS more contacts with police
..and MILLIONS more traffic stops
= there is not a problem of police brutality

None of that excuses things when it does happen. There are millions and millions of bank transactions every year. Do we excuse those who rob a bank because of that?

....you are comparing innocent people making bank transactions to arrests!!!!!!!! = idiocy
..your analogy is beyond ridiculous

[pknopp]

You brought the point up.

You stated that his life wasn't in peril to condemn what he did. O.K. fine.

And then I noted neither was Timothy Loehmans but we allowed him to skate free.

Your word is not worth accepting in any event and I sure as hell do not trust you to properly characterize
things like some completely disparate police case.

I have no doubt that you aren't interested in consistency.

..blacks murdering over 3000 blacks every year and graduating at low rates is the problem--not cops/statues/''racism''/etc

They both can be a problem and interconnected. Let's also note that you feel that you have to bring this up in a topic where it seems there were only white people involved.

Of course this piece of crap should go to jail forever, but these police officers were reckless in confronting this man without having full awareness.

The guy he called to pick him up was Matthew Hall but the ODCR has way too many people with the same name. But, I came across something that said he had just been arrested for grand auto theft.

I would say the whole nonlethal means doesn't pan out well. So, screw that.

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.

I'd like to offer an apology to the brain dead of our community.
Suckknop doesnt represent those people.

... 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.

That is 100% lawful self-defense on Mr. Ware's part. That was idiotic, suicidal, and tortious behavior on the part of police officers, who should have known that the victim of their unwarranted aggression might be armed with a lethal weapon, as is the Constitutional right of any individual in the United States. Mr. Ware needs to get out of prison with a clean record, even if more cops have to die in order for that to happen. It's time to bust that damned police union.

All over some BBQ. As the article notes, he saw and could have I.D the guy and get his license plate number. Send a car to the guys house.

He shot 9 times in a crowded parking lot. Obviously the guy is a lousy shot if the person he was shooting at (a few feet away) is still alive.

There is no justification for this.

A Toledo police officer is dead after being shot in the chest while responding to a 911 call of an intoxicated person in a Home Depot parking lot overnight.

Witnesses, according to Toledo Police Chief George Krahl, said that the suspect was walking away from officer Anthony Dia when he "for some reason turned and fired a round from the handgun."


Dia, who leaves behind a wife and 2-year-old child, was taken to a local hospital where he died from his injuries.

Two cops were injured in the Bronx after a bullet smashed through the windshield of their SUV, police said Sunday.
The cops had just pulled up to the intersection on Alexander Ave. at E. 138th St. outside the 40th Precinct stationhouse in Mott Haven when the bullet pierced the front windshield of their marked NYPD SUV just before midnight Saturday, shocking surveillance video shows.
The video shows two pedestrians crossing the street in front of the idling SUV right before the bullet pierces the windshield, sending a small cloud of shattered glass flying.

Actually what's going to happen you' stupid moronic shithead.... Is that even left is going to see the need for a stronger police force which is going to create an army of blue monsters who will act with almost total impunity on every little thing. As the criminals proliferate the backlash even from the progressive side of the aisle will grow large enough to license a full body of virtually autonomous enforcement agents. It's not about the impound fee either retard.. it's about safety inspection and record-keeping to be sure each vehicle is not a moving weapon. You just can't seem to get anything right you weak-minded little pissant.

George Floyd murdered himself.
the real wave of murders from uniformed enforcement agents will come when the brown shirts are in charge. not only will they murder each and every person that disagrees with them they will murder the judges and the politicians who seek to control them and they will do so with impunity because you will have given them this power.
