California cop killed by a suspect. Trump injects his venom into the issue. The suspect is undocumented. |
Those in law enforcement know the danger of being behind the badge. They know that they could be shot by a suspect. They know that bio-hazards could harm them. They know the elements could put their lives in danger. They know that natural events (i.e. earthquakes, animal attacks, water rescues, etc.) could endanger their lives.
Those in law enforcement know that it's a thankless job.
And all the symbolic tributes, lowering of flags, hand salutes, street naming, "thoughts and prayers", "our hearts going out to" and blame game won't bring back the dead. It's the feel good-ism that enables numbness to the real problem facing all Americans.
GUN VIOLENCE.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
Donald J. Trump and Congress are so inept right now. We're in a government shutdown. They are getting paid, while most Americans who work for the government or contractors for the government get no paycheck. All over a disagreement of a border wall that Trump promised Mexico would pay for.
Ever the troll, Trump got in on the death of a California cop who was gunned down by a suspect who may have entered the country illegally. He bemoans about how the Senate Democrats (who are in the minority) refusing to budge on the $5 billion in funding for the border.
There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 27, 2018
Newman, California is mourning the loss of 33-year old Ronil Singh. He was a seven year officer who leaves behind his partner K9, his wife and newborn child. He was gunned down by a suspect on Wednesday.
The Stanislaus County boys and Newman Police teamed with the U.S. Marshals and FBI in the search of this suspect they know by name but won't reveal until he is caught and brought to justice.
Singh was pulling over a vehicle with suspicious tags.
He thought the driver was under the influence of alcohol. As he pulled over the silver Dodge Ram with paper plates from AR Auto, a dealership in Merced, California.

Moments later, Singh called in for shots fired.
Several deputies from both Sanislaus and Merced counties responded to a gravely wounded Singh.
Singh would later die of his injuries.
In a Thursday news conference, Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson says his department will not release the name of the man suspected of the crime but say they believe they know who he is.
He is described as a heavy-set Hispanic man with black hair. Investigators have evidence to believe he could still be in the county
The truck was found outside the city of Newman in a mobile home park on Wednesday afternoon, but the suspect was not found in the area.
The feds are looking for the man who killed a cop. |
The suspect is still on the run, and deputies say if you do see the suspect, do not approach him. He is believed to be armed and very dangerous.
The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department is leading the effort to find the suspect, and Sheriff Christianson says his deputies are getting tips from people in Fresno and Merced counties, all the way up to the Bay Area.
Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke says that a search warrant was served in El Nido late Thursday in connection with the fatal shooting, but the suspect was not found.
Corporal Ronil "Ron" Singh, was a K-9 officer with the Newman Police, a small department with just about a dozen sworn officers.
Newman Police Chief Randy Richardson remembered Singh as an "American patriot" who came to the U.S. from Fiji to become a police officer and loved his wife and 5-month-old son dearly.
The officer's canine partner, Sam, is now at home with the Singh family. Chief Richardson said that the dog would be retired from the department early to live permanently with the Singh family.
The suspect faces capital murder. These charges will put the suspect in the position of either LIFE or DEATH. He is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
