Quote:White man shoots black police chief 4 times without being arrested or charged
Quote:Wishita County, Oklahoma — A black police chief was shot four times by a white ‘survivalist,’ and the shooting did not result in an arrest. Louis Ross, the Sentinel Oklahoma police chief, was hit three times in the chest and once in the arm.
The shooter has been identified as 29-year-old Dallas Horton. After the incident, he was detained by police but later released without being charged with any crime.
Surely something like this has happened before, I doubt the same type of headlines would be used though, for example "Black man shoots white police officer without being charged or arrested." Especially not when they know the names of both police officer and shooter.
The closest thing that comes to mind is tupac shakur shooting police officers, except he was charged but the charges were dropped.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
