When Police Can't Protect - Good People Die, Including Themselves

By Elizabeth Nelson

I have friends, whom I love and respect, who are law enforcement officers, not “cops,” and all of these “cop dies in cop killing,” senseless news stories are beginning to get on my last nerve.  My friends would be the first ones to tell you that that is their job description, to “enforce the law,” and to “respond to an emergency” when called. 

They arrive after the crime has been committed and will either write up the report and get the facts so that they can hopefully catch the bad guy, or call the coroner and clean up the mess after the fact, but they feel better when a law-abiding gun owner has a gun in the house or on them so that they can defend themselves and give themselves a fighting chance. Unfortunately, in some cases, like I just eluded to, they are themselves, the victims of the crime, like in the instance of three policemen that were killed a couple weeks ago in New Brunswick, Canada and the two that were just killed in Las Vegas this weekend. 


Five people, including two police officers and two shooters, are dead after a shooting rampage in Las Vegas Sunday, according to news reports.

According to a report from The Associated Press, at around 11:30 a.m. two shooters targeted two police officers — Officer Alyn Beck, 41, and Officer Igor Soldo, 31 — eating lunch at Cici’s Pizza. Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval has confirmed that both officers were killed in the attack, the AP reports. 

The suspects reportedly disarmed the officers before exiting the restaurant, Kevin McMahill, assistant sheriff with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, told KVVU Fox 5.

Police say that the two shooters, a man and a woman, then ran into a nearby Wal-Mart, where they killed one person. Then, the woman shooter turned the gun on her male counterpart, shooting and killing him before fatally shooting herself in an apparent murder-suicide pact, Las Vegas police said on its Facebook page.

Early reports on the condition of the officers, now confirmed dead, were unclear. Police spokesperson Jesse Royba initially told press that the officers had died, according to The New York Times, but a second spokesperson, Larry Hadfield, said that the officers were critically injured. 

Mr. Hadfield also told Fox News that one of the suspects yelled, “This is a revolution,” but added the suspects’ motive in the shootings was still under investigation. Read more Washington Times:

Liberals love to get up on their soap box and preach “only police should carry guns,” and then the world would be a safer place. Oh really, would it now?

Of course, "only cops should have guns," because only law-abiding gun owners shoot innocent people unjustly...

   

I've poked fun at cops, time to flip the script on liberals. If gun bans worked and the criminals didn't have access to guns meaning only cops had guns, so that in their liberal fantasy la-la-land, this combination means there should be no more murders or rapes in the new liberal progressive world, right? If that's the case, why are there still rapes and murders in prison?  

Liberals just can't seem to answer why criminals don’t obey gun laws or any law for that matter, that’s why we call them “criminals.” Take a look at these idiots that just killed these two cops and one victim in Wal-Mart; we’ll gloss over the fact that they intended to commit murder, they already had felonies and by the gun laws we already have on the books (but don’t enforce), they weren't even supposed to be in possession of guns in the first place.

These people were just evil, and Conservatives have been saying all along, you can ban guns but we can’t ban evil intent, and the only way to stop an evil person with a gun or knife is a good man/woman with a weapon of equal power and the will to use it to stop him for the betterment of people around him/her.  These cops and the victim in Wal-Mart would still be alive, had a Concealed Carry holder been around to help.
