Until we have the death penalty for cop killers this will not stop.
Well, this makes five cops shot during a routine traffic stop in the past week.
As a an American, I am Disgusted at the Liberal Agenda that created a culture against those who serve and Protect. I may be a Citizen, but i will stand by an officers side any day and back him up. Americans are sick and tired of the left & seeing these attacks on our officers. Do not let politicians or media fool you. We true Americans Stand with you, and thats 150 million plus law abiding citizens who love our Constitution and Country.
