I wonder if there is dashcam video. We could then see the interaction before he was gunned down. Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton Shot and Killed During Traffic Stop by Phil Helsel A manhunt was underway for a suspect who fatally shot a Memphis police officer during a traffic stop on Saturday evening, according to officials. Memphis Director of Police Services Toney Armstrong said police were notified at around 9:18 p.m. local time (10:18 p.m.) that an officer had been shot. The officer was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but later died from multiple gunshot wounds. "The suspect responsible is still at large and officers are in the area attempting to locate him," police said in a statement. The slain officer was identified by the police department as 33-year-old Sean Bolton, who had been with the force since October 2010. Armstrong said Saturday's fatal shooting was the third time an officer has been killed in the last four years. "It doesn't get any easier," Armstrong told reporters Saturday night. "This is a very difficult time, not only for me as director, but for all the officers that you see standing behind me and a difficult time for our city as well." "We're talking about, from what we know now, routine traffic stop ... results in an officer losing his life," Armstrong added. Police were searching the area near an apartment complex for the gunman Saturday night, NBC affiliate WMC reported. "This speaks volumes about the inherent danger of police work in general," a somber Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton Jr. told reporters Saturday. "Pray for the family and pray for our city." |

No metion of the race of the cop or suspect. That's in the first sentence of a cop shooting news item. |

I give a lot of credit to the young men who want to be police officers. Underpaid and underappreciated. |

Quote: "This speaks volumes about the inherent danger of police work in general," and this quote speaks volumes for people who take the job that think its supposed to be a cozy career. there are many other professions that are more dangerous too, so im not sure what he means by this quote. in other news, 80 other people die everyday from gunshot wounds and they are not police officers. (real statistic!) |

I think decriminalizing drugs would greatly reduce the risk of violence on routine traffic stops. |

The prison system would also suffer. Just think of all those folks put out of work by reducing the prison population. Why do you hate Amerikka? |

These threads don't turn into multiple pages because no one in their right mind would make excuses for someone murdering a cop. As DB stated when you kill someone for no defensible reason you should go to jail. |

Not sure. I know the cop was white ( duh) . Guess we'll have to wait for the D.A. to try the case in his news conference to find out more. |

We've got two gay couples we are close friends with. One has been together for 25 yrs and the other has been together for 35 yrs. If either one ever gets divorced, there will be a shit ton of cash to fight over. All the lawyers are concerned with is additional streams of revenue. It's getting tough to be a well paid lawyer these days. Gotta get behind, if you'll pardon the expression, any potential increase in the client pool. Especially, if said clients are usually well to do. |
