that's true. but you know how to complicate one's view? try being black and having law enforcement in the family. imagine that, i've had an uncle that was FUBAR by officers in the precinct that my dad worked in..... plus i've known friends of my dad that were K.I.A. so like previously stated, heart goes out to the slain cops fam.

Was it just a shoot out or was a traffic volilation gone wrong...any more details?

Ya I dont like cops to much, but I hate to see them get shot cas there is no reason for that at all...cas they are people to...

Understood. I've known people with cops in the family, but no one in my family is one. Kids from Compton don't really grow up loving a cop. A dead man is a dead man though, he has family that love him, and have lost him. Gotta respect that.

DeKalb police officer, suspect killed in shootout

The Associated Press - STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga.
A DeKalb County police officer was mortally wounded in a shootout Thursday evening in which a suspect also died, authorities said.

Police said two officers responded to reports of a suspicious person at a Stone Mountain apartment complex about 7 p.m.

A suspect reportedly was being chased on foot when he fired on police, who returned fire. Witnesses said they heard at least 10 shots in rapid succession.

The wounded officer was carried to DeKalb Medical Center in Decatur. The suspect was dead at the scene.

A police spokesman, Sgt. Charles Dedrick, confirmed about three hours later that the officer had died. Dedrick would say only that during the foot chase, "shots were fired," without elaborating on whether the suspect fired first and whether one or both officers returned fire.

By 9 p.m., police had herded at least three people into patrol cars, and were poring over the grassy lawn behind the building at the Mountain Crest apartments, where several shell casings remained.

Joanie Thompson said she was on the phone with a friend when she heard a series of shots and immediately thought of her 11-year-old, who had gone outside to play.

"I screamed on the phone, 'My son, my son,' " she said.

It was the second fatal shooting involving a DeKalb police officer this month. On June 5, an officer responding to a call for "trouble unknown" was met by a man waving his arms outside a home.

Another man then fired shots at the officer, and the officer returned fire, killing him.

The officer and the man who was waving his arms also were wounded.
