Clark County Sheriff's office confirm Matthew Yates, a 15-year deputy was killed on Sunday after a confrontation with a terrorist in a Springfield, Ohio trailer park. From what I am gathering the shooter was possibly a woman.

Blame Game expected.

The incident has gotten national attention because the deputy was African American and the incident comes days after a series police-involved shootings in Cincinnati, Marysville, Springboro and Akron.

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Gov. Karen DeWine, Sen. Karen Portman (R-OH), Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and the Ohio U.S. Representatives were notified.

DeWine ordered flags to be lowered. Of course, thoughts and prayers. 

The incident at the Harmony Estates trailer park in Harmony Township. The deputy was responding to a call of shots fired on Sunday. As he approached a mobile home, the terrorists ambushed him. He was shot and seriously. He ended up dying at a local hospital in Dayton.

The terrorists then held up the law for hours. During the hold up, he shot another deputy.

The other deputy did survive his injuries. The Clark County sheriff, Deborah K. Burchett confirmed that Yates died during surgery. 

The trailer then caught fire and the terrorists was killed in the fire. The Dayton Police SWAT and bomb squad did not find any deadly explosives during the standoff. The Springfield Police, Clark County sheriff's office had said that Yates had a "heart of gold."

The deputy is the latest to be killed in Clark County. Suzanne Hopper was gunned down in a trailer park in Enon, Ohio by a terrorist. She and another responding deputy were ambushed by a terrorist. It happened at the Enon Beach Campgrounds and the terrorist was killed. It happened on Jan. 1, 2011.

Burchett provided further details in a prepared statement late Sunday. She said deputies responded to the Harmony Estates Mobile Home Park after a 911 call reporting that an unknown female broke into the residence and fired five to six shots.

When deputies arrived, they attempted to check inside the mobile home and were met by gunfire. Yates was struck and went down inside the home.

Clark County Special Operations, of which Yates was a member, and several other tactical teams were called in to rescue the deputy. He was taken by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Large police presence.

“Please keep the Yates family in your thoughts and prayers,” wrote Burchett in the statement.

Rep. Karen Davidson (R-OH) who represents a district between Cincinnati and Dayton that includes all of Butler County and half of Hamilton County, tweeted out his condolences to Yates’ friends and family.

“My condolences and deepest sympathies for the friends and family of Clark County Deputy Matthew Yates, 15-year veteran of the force, who was killed by gunfire today. Thank you to all our law enforcement who risk everything to keep our communities safe,” he wrote.

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley also tweeted, “My heart goes out to the loved ones of Clark County Sheriff’s Deputy Matthew Yates who was killed tonight in the line of duty.”

The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is investigating the incident.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth.

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege. This good guy with a gun nonsense has to end. The cops didn't do nothing when children were shot inside a school. A security guard was shot dead trying to protect shoppers. A cop accidentally shot his own. The good guy who tried to stop a bad guy is outgunned and a part of the rule #3. The "good guy with a gun" better be prepared to die if they want to stop a shooter.

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you. We lost over 1 million people from the coronavirus.

The mobile home where the terrorist fired upon law enforcement burnt down.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult. I am also tired of scapegoating Black on Black crime, Chicago, Baltimore and Democratic mayors for the nation's obsession to be numb to gun violence. You pretty much enable this nonsense by deflecting.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
