Today in Missouri, a cop was killed by a white male with a criminal record

and the killer is on the loose. Apparently he was annoyed about a traffic stop and shot the cop who walked over to the car for info. The cop was a Vet.
In another incident in another state, a white male criminal hand cuffed a cop in his vehicle and escaped.

Any Groper Don the Con tweets? Any words from Fox?

<snip>
The officer, Gary Michael, who was with the force less than a year, pulled over a suspicious vehicle around 10:45 p.m. on Sunday, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Bill Lowe.

When Michael exited his vehicle to initiate contact with the driver, he was shot, Lowe said, adding that the officer fired back but it’s unknown at this time whether the driver was struck.

Investigators told ABC News Monday that Michael initially pulled over the driver because the vehicle's headlights were off, and once Michael ran the plates, he discovered the vehicle's plates were also expired.

The highway patrol identified and released a photo of a man they said is a person of interest in the shooting: 39-year-old Ian McCarthy of Clinton.

This doesn't fit their narrative, so it's not worth reporting. They also know that without constant repetition of this incident, everyone (including us) will forget about it. Then we'll go back to yammering about lawless felons of dusky hue, the way Trump and Fox like to talk about things.

I live rurally just outside of Clinton, MO, my daughter lives about 2 blocks from where the shooting took place. Small very RED town of 9,000. It is a huge deal here.

Kinda scarey with this guy running around loose somewhere, I think if you shoot a cop you have nothing to lose and wouldn't have a problem shooting anyone else.

I don't even want to bring up PINO not caring about our missing service men, or anything else that has happened like that horrible stabbing in Portland on that train. I get sicker everyday about the constant bullshit he is doing to our country.

in his very busy schedule. Tee up. Tweet nasty attack. Swing (sod flew further than ball). Tweet more nastiness.

Isn't the president supposed to have aides who inform him of noteworthy news? The question I have is whether the he doesn't have aides following the news or has aides who have been instructed about what news stories to bring him.
