On the heels of my recent post here at SHR about the disregard for law enforcement and its relationship to increased crime around the US, another officer has been shot and killed.
From the OrlandoSentinel.com:
Orlando police officer shot, killed; $60,000 reward offered for suspect
by Rene Stutzman and Stephanie Allen
Two Orlando-area law enforcement officers were killed this morning, one shot by a murder suspect who managed to get away and a second killed in a crash while officers and deputies scrambled to find him.
Orlando police Master Sgt. Debra Clayton was shot about 7:15 a.m. today by a murder suspect after a citizen spotted him at a Walmart and alerted the officer, the agency reported.
A sheriff's deputy later was killed in a crash with a 78-year-old driver.Law enforcement responded to the shooting with a manhunt that included hundreds of officers. They also offered a $60,000 reward for anyone helping them capture the suspect, Markeith Loyd, 41, who was accused of murdering his pregnant girlfriend in December.
Orlando Police Chief John Mina called Clayton "a hero. She gave her life for the community she loves."
She had one child, the department reported, and was one of the first officers to respond to the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in June that left 49 people dead and scores injured.
Some people believe that the disregard for law enforcement and rising crime rates are entirely unrelated, but I submit that is untrue. Read my recent article about the issue. It is quite clear:
Law enforcement agencies nationwide are being told that they “over-police.” They are being told they cannot stop and frisk. Their administrations are, because of social politics, becoming indifferent. Support is vanishing. Cops are guilty first. Micromanaging is the norm. Discretion is removed. Public concern for the lives of LEOs is not as strong as its concern for the lives of suspects.
Continuing from the Orlando Sentineal:
The second law enforcement death today was an Orange County motorcycle deputy who was part of the effort to find the suspect, Demings said.
“We’re sad on this day for many reasons," Demings said at a morning news conference at Orlando Regional Medical Center. "In my 36-year career, this is possibly one of the toughest days for me."Both officers were taken to ORMC and pronounced dead there.
Demings did not release the name of the deputy, saying the agency was still trying to notify relatives.
Loyd has a long criminal history and on Nov. 30 wrote this on his Facebook page, "Goals!!!! To be on Americas most wanted."
Additionally, ambushes of police are at their highest in over a decade, more than 20 deaths in 2016 due to ambush. This helps to create a climate where people feel justified in assaulting law enforcement officers. People are beginning to think they possess not just a right but a duty to resist any form of arrest or hands-on involvement by law enforcement.
Thank you, Barack Hussein Obama, for the atmosphere you have created in America by being the Divider-In-Chief. Your tactics are working. Luckily, however, we are ten days away from a new administration that will value American law enforcement and the American soldier.
Perhaps the nation can now pull itself out of the ditch you dug and filled with contempt and hate for authority. It should come as no surprise, then, that the people of America rejected that premise and, essentially, your third term in the guise of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
SHR Media sends its sympathies and condolences to the families and friends of Master Sergeant Debra Clayton and the yet-unnamed motor officer killed during the manhunt
