4 Law Enforcement Officials Killed, 4 Injured in Charlotte, N.C.

[911]

Agreed. I have to believe that law enforcement knew they were serving a warrant on a very dangerous criminal. You don't send that many experienced officers to deliver a parking ticket. We all know that the cry for gun control is a false flag. Criminals get guns no matter what the law says. Politicians tend to say pass a law simply to preserve their next election bid's success. The culprit is dead. The sadness of law officer deaths is the heartbreaking. When you have officers that run into danger you support them and lift them up, you don't shout for gun control. Get some common sense.

I am a little confused. Did all 4 men go to the door at the same time? I can’t believe they would all do that. I wish I knew more about what went on. Did they use a body camera?

Your an intelligent person. I can tell that by your posts, so I am sure that you understand that more facts are needed as to how this attempted arrest went down. Anything I would post would probably be conjecture on my part.

@911 I think the way it happened, based on the news I heard, was that the shooter was at a window, IDK if it was first floor or second floor, but because he had an automatic weapon he was able to spray bullets quickly across a wide range.

Did they walk in w/o cover? IDK. I don't even know if all police forces are required to wear bullet proof vests. They are standard equipment in most big cities, but maybe not everywhere.

Well, gee, who else would be creeping between the homes at 2 in the morning?

Well, gee whiz, keep your story straight because that's not what you initially said. You said in your initial comment, "I saw a tall, thin man walking through her development." Hence, there's a BIG difference between a man walking through a development and a man creeping between homes at 2:00 A.M. in the morning.

Oh, I messed up my verbs. I can understand the confusion between creeping and walking. The first time I saw him, he was walking on the sidewalk, so I went around the block and when I came back around, I saw him beginning to walk between 2 houses. At any rate, I don’t get into debates over such trivial issues. When people are walking through a development and not just walking a dog, I often would stop and ask the person if they were lost or looking for a particular address. However, if they are going between the homes, that becomes a different story. If that person is not the homeowner, trespassing is always a possibility.

I have arrested peeping Toms and Trespassers that had no business for being where they were. Both are misdemeanors and we would often drop the charges, if it was their first offense and they have no record or outstanding warrants. We sent them on their way with only a warning. People have been known to get shot for that type of activity.

I remember arresting a drunk once when he was lost and couldn’t find his house. I had to remove his wallet for him to get his ID and that’s when I found out he was even in the wrong town. I then asked him where he parked his vehicle and he couldn’t tell me that either. I asked for a description of his vehicle and he gave me some nonsense description that made no sense.

I ended up taking him home and wrote a note for him to read in the morning. In the note, I wrote where I found him and that may be a good place to start looking for his vehicle. I then wrapped the note around my business card and asked him to please call me if he couldn’t find his vehicle. The next day, he called me and said he couldn’t find it. I asked him if he remembered what the make and model was. Luckily, it was a 2 y/o GMC, so we were able to call OnStar and they were able to locate his vehicle.
