The cold blooded murder of brave Chicago Police Officer John Bartholomew is absolutely sickening.
Please keep his family, friends, and co workers in your thoughts and prayers as well as the other Chicago Police Officer who was shot in the same heinous attack, who is still in critical condition.
RIP Officer Bartholomew, we will never forget your sacrifice.
To all officers, be safe out there.
Please keep the brave Flint (MI) police officer shot last night in your thoughts and prayers.
The officer observed the dirtbag hitting his girlfriend with a gun, the officer immediately took action to stop the suspect and the miscreant opened fired shooting the officer several times.
The officer was rushed to a nearby hospital and is expected to recover. Suspect was later taken into custody after a vehicle pursuit.
The last 36 hours have been horrific for law enforcement…
We have seen 4 officers shot, one of which murdered in cold blood.
Flint (MI) PD Officer
Jackson County (MS) Deputy (deceased)
Greensboro (NC) PD Officer
Crittenden County (KY) Deputy
Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers, and all of law enforcement as we continue to see the War on Cops rage.
Over 85 officers shot already this year…with no signs of slowing. It’s despicable and infuriating…
