Bummer....

My best to their families..:cry
 
Terrible, terrible news. My heart goes out to the families of those officers.
 
Damn! :rip
 
I feel so much anger, yet soooooo freakin sad. This sucks so bad!!! There were reports of people taunting the police at the scene of the traffic stop during the investigation. This is such BS!!!! These officers will not return home tonight!!!! It brings tears to my eyes to think of the wifes, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters that will never see their loved ones again.

I hope they beat the piss out of their killer even after they shot him!!!:sniper:sniper :deadhorse

Here's a poem I found while searching for the most recent story hoping they weren't dead. :(

Motor Officers...
It sounds like thunder far away, but the skies are blue and bright...
And soon they crest the hill nearby, and ride into our sight.
They shake the ground with powerful sound, and they make some hearts beat fast...
They look so proud and noble, like Knights come from the past.

Side by side, they always ride, and seem to move as one...
From early in the morning light, to the setting of the sun.
And children point and wave to them, from cars that pass them by...
And young ones ask their parents, why the men have mirrors for eyes.

They ride the roads, and fight for good, and defend small ones like you...
They ask to ride, and do with pride, and sometimes they are few.
Like men of steel, on silver wheels, they sparkle in the light...
then with a roar and rumble, they ride out of our sight.

Sometimes when one has fallen, never to ride again...
You can hear the others calling, like thunder on the wind.
Side by side, they slowly ride, and their thunder is a mournful sound...
And the mirrors hide their eyes from us, when teardrops fall to ground.

So if you see one riding, and you look into his face...
You see your reflection in his eyes, you know that you are safe.
For motormen are a special breed, they love to ride the wind...
And when you hear the thunder boom, the fallen ones ride again.

None made it??? :cry

What a terrible, terrible day. :( :rip
 
:rip Condolences to friends, family and fellow officers
 
Seems like the perp barricaded himself into the apartment after the original shooting, then the second pair of officers were killed during the standoff. Then SWAT was able to take the SOB out permanently. No aggression on the perp besides infliction of lead overdosement via air delivery.

RIP, OPD Officers... :rose :rose :rose :rose

:sniper Armed Criminals
 
:rip

I feel for the officer's families....

...I heard it's now all four dead, but I hope I'm wrong.
 
Just getting to a computer, now, but was following this on the radio earlier. Very, very sorry for all family and friends and Oakland PD. :rose
 
My thoughts and prayers go out to the officers families. :rip :rose x 4
