Current Events > Cop killed in St Louis

(+) Yeah! (+)

Link below but here is the summary of events:

- guy tries to pass a bad check
- police are called
- cop shows up and confronts the suspect
- struggle ensues
- suspect pulls a gun from his waistband and hits cop in head several times and gets up
- cop in face down while shooter stands over him and shoots him in the neck and runs
- shooter is apprehended by cops not long after and confesses
- shooter is from North Carolina and has long wrap sheet. Got to StL in January

This is so shitty...how does a call for a guy passing a bad check escalate to this so quickly?

From what I hear, there is a video out there of from someone who live streamed it. I'm not going to seek it out or post it though. Also most of this was caught on security camera.

The cop saved a kid in a fire and worked undercover with the FBI, too. Dude was a hero, just became one too soon.

there is no point in fighting like that. they are gonna catch you even if you get lucky for a short time, other cops will find you. it's not worth it, over a bad check. and now he's a cop killer. what an idiot

Criminals are dumb, that's why they're criminals
