The War on Cops grows more bloody every day — and it’s time for President Barack Obama to speak up in defense of our police!
A man wearing body armor and armed with an assault rifle shot two Boston police officers who were responding to a report of a domestic disturbance, before being shot and killed by other officers, police said.
A cowardly ambush, met with swift justice from our hero cops. But the damage was done — the two wounded officers were hospitalized in “extremely critical condition” early Thursday morning.
Evans said the suspect fired at the officers late Wednesday night shortly after they arrived at a home in the city’s East Boston neighborhood. Several other officers who were stationed outside ran inside and exchanged gunfire with the suspect.
“Two of the officers dragged their fellow officers out of the line of fire so they were in a protected zone, and the officers continued to engage in a gun exchange,” Evans said.
The officers shot and killed the suspect and then began administering first aid to the wounded officers, one a 28-year veteran, the other a 12-year veteran of the force.
“One officer had his hand in one of the wounds and I think that was instrumental in getting the officer down to Mass General quickly,” Evans said.
Both officers were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where they were being treated for serious injuries. Nine other officers were being treated at Tufts Medical Center for trauma, stress and minor injuries.
Police, initially concerned that their might be a second suspect, ordered residents to shelter in place. That order was later lifted.
Police did not identify the suspect or the two wounded officers.
As is standard protocol following such events, the district attorney’s office said there would be an investigation into the use of deadly force.
“They ran into a firefight here, able to pull two of their officers out safely, and again unfortunately, we had to take a life in doing it,” Evans said.

Sending prayers to all the Police Officers!
There should be a federal law for death penalty for the murder of attempted murder of any LEO. Make the murder or attempted murder of any LEO or corrections officer a federal crime. There is precedence for this with kidnapping which is a federal crime since the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932 .
I’m with you…. fast trial and faster short rope. Problem solved
I agree. Our officers can’t take a break in a restaurant with out being targeted. My area the Deputy’s are very community involved. God help them be safe. Domestic calls always bad.
I pray for our men in Blue and I stand beside them. People it is time you open your eyes. Obama and Hillary will never step up and protect our police. NEVER They want disorder in America and I firmly believe they are behind it. Just listen to what they are saying. As long as Obama has been in office he has tried every way he can think of to take our guns. Now Hillary is campaigning on ending the second amendment and pushing for gun control. And she came right out and said she supports Black Lives Matter. (who said they want to kill the cops) The madness behind all this is the fact that with our guns we are the largest army in the world and it would not be easy to over take America. If the second Amendment is removed then they can forcibly take our guns ending self protection. But what most of you do not realize is the second amendment also protects your freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to assemble in protest along with other very serious freedoms that are taken for granted. Just think a minute about how serious this is. There is the matter of the Supreme Court. I don’t think people understand what is at stake here. If Hillary names the new Supreme court justice she is naming a person that is in line with their ideas on ending the constitution. The next President will more then likely name three of four Supreme Court Justices so the facts add up to if Hillary names them she is putting in people that agree to end the constitution. This is a life time position . If this should happen there will no longer be America. Just think about that for a minute. We will have no freedom and be living like repressed countries under dictatorship like the Eastern countries. Christens are slaughtered. You as Americans will be slaughtered. Children raped and torched , our men beheaded there will be no one for America to depend on for help. Now I know a lot of you think this is a scare tactics Just look around. We are loosing law and order. We have Isis attacks inside America. Obama has weakened our military, he has tried every way to take God form us (and now the Catholic religion.in under attack with Hillary) Schools no longer teach American history, They are teaching Muslim in school. (against American law) we are loosing our rights as Americans. And treated like criminals when we speak up (something Hillary promised Eastern countries would happen if anyone spoke out against Muslim or Isis) Check Wikileaks on Hillary’s Email There are UN armed jeeps here .Obama wants us under UN rule not America’s he has even talked about this. We are in trouble and people are closing their eyes to the truth ,all in the name of party or stupidity in wanting a woman president. (I would like that too, but not one that will destroy America) So I ask you would you rather have a president that has a potty mouth or a President that has said out loud she hates American people? As for the accusations about these woman. All I can say in complete honesty is, I do not believe this to be true,
The Clintons are famous for smearing some one reputation to get what they want and everyone know how much Hillary lies. And she has been known to set people up in the audience to ask her the questions she wants. But this is something each of you have to work out. All I can ask is Think about the issues tearing America apart. Then vote for the good of the America, God Bless America and the American people.
Obama and Hillary along with the Democrats are to blame for all this. Always jumping to conclusions about the police and blaming them. It’s time for a change in America before it’s too late. Vote out all of these career politicians who promote politically correct agendas like blacklivesmatter.
Absolutely. The “politically correct” politicians have made a mess of the laws in OUR country. We need some Constitution BACKERS, not destroyers, to get America healthy again. Semper Fidelis, my friends. God Bless America.
These horrific acts against the police are a direct result of the BLM group – they need to be dealt with quickly and severely to make a point and example out of them.
Like ISIS all they understand is strength and retribution.
To call it “retribution” is to give them too much credit. Spitefulness is the correct word, as I’ve heard their shills and even corrected them on their history numerous times – only to be met with their rage at being corrected.
Obama has always been for blacks no matter what happen. He has been wrong in all cases. He has not tried to bring black and white together.
His Business is to keep us apart because this way he and his Muslim friends can operate easier.
The agenda of BO and Hillary is to nationalize the police. Won’t that be grand? Another narcissistic sociopath (Hillary is really a pyschopath with blood on her hands) in charge of our safety and police. I have been amazed he has not already pushed this into his illegal edicts. Guess he trusts Hillary to do this unifying of the police and putting it in the hands of the UN eventually. Two ruthless monsters who will disarm us as well so the slaughter can be done quickly by their imported terrorist. Not here folks, vote Trump.
THAT sums it up well, Susan. LESS federal control over our country.
Police officers face uncertain situations daily. If they aren’t careful they may be killed in the line of duty. Whenever a person is stopped by a law enforcement officer they need to comply with the officer’s orders. There will be a time and place to respond to the officer’s actions. When an armed policeman has a gun drawn on you is not the time or place. If people would practice this simple response many of these shootings could be avoided.
I don’t know what but the police departments throughout this nation need to come up with an alternative response to any “domestic disturbance calls”
These types of calls leave all officers wide open for anyone to shoot them as the door opens.
There just has to be a better, more safe way to respond.
I know a Boston police officer who is on the “bomb squad” who defuses bombs and he tells me that this is much safer then these domestic violence calls because with a bomb you know what you’re dealing with, but what’s behind that door, you do not.
Stay safe all officers throughout this land and may God be with you.
Police all over this nation ought to refuse to protect period. They should take a team with them to traffic accidents & that is all. Let these animals kill each other & save their own lives until this country starts supporting our brave men & women that wear the uniform. This situation has become all to common. No one in the present government seems to care, let it start affecting the elite class in this nation and then you I’ll see some support for the law enforcement agencies nationwide.
We should toughen the penalty for use of a gun in any felony to 5 years mandatory and anyone caught trying to shoot a law enforcement officer should get life and if you kill them, death.
If you kill an Officer the Death Penalty should be executed in less then a Month and not feeding this People at the cost of the Taxpayers.
the death penalty should be automatic , but carried out within a week of when the cop is killed , not 30 years latter after endless appeals
Fully agree with you.
NO APPEAL SHOULD BE GRANTED IN THIS CASES. THE MUSLIMS WOULD PUT THEM ON THE WALL AND SHOOT THEM ON THE SPOT.I THINK THIS SYSTEM IS GOOD AND KEEP THE CRIMINALS IN LINE.
Prayers that these 2 officers survive their ordeal. I would say the killer was black since they won’t say who or say race. That is always the case with the media. This was obviously a set up since the killer was dressed in combat protection gear. I am glad he is dead, we don’t have to pay for his trial or his bills while enjoying life in prison. If he is black and BLM riots and loots, shoot them as well.
instead of BLM IT SHOULD BE WLM AND NOW PLM
WHEN will it end? It will END when the LAST of these “THUGS” is on a SHELF in the REFRIGERATOR of their local MORGUE! NOT BEFORE I’m afraid to say.
Where is the leader of our country? Oh, wait, he hasn’t been elected yet. Donald Trump will be the President that will return Law and Order to the United States of America. Our current leader and former Secretary of State have declared war against our Law Enforcement and they should be ashamed of themselves and prosecuted. They are so disgusting! Where is the outrage? It’s so sad. I am sick of way too often reading or hearing that more and more police officers are bring ambushed and killed or wounded. God bless Donld J. Trump, Gold bless We The People, and God bless America! Pray for Mr. Trump, his family, and our country. Everyone must go out and vote!
OH IM VOTING , TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE, GO TRUMP.
OH IM VOTING , TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE, GO TRUMP.
TO HELL WITH BLM! ASK OBAMA IF HE THINKS ANY LIVES MATTER EXCEPT FOR HIS OWN AND HIS FAMILY.HE DOESN’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT POLICE OR AMERICANS.HE IS TRYING TO PROVOKE A “RACE WAR” BEFORE HE LEAVES THE WH..AND HE JUST MIGHT DO IT.
Every police officer in our country should march to Washington DC and jail or kill those responsible for what is going on. We all know who is responsible. If the police represent law and order it has to start from the top down.
This is another reason to for Trump we NEED change BIG TIME. We need all cancers erased. KILLED only way to get rid of it????????????????????B.P.

The war on Police will not stop until Obama is out of office and law and order is restored. He is the cops’ enemy so he won’t be doing anything to alleviate the situation. After all, most of the attacks on cops are either by blacks or Muslims whom he has protected after any altercation. Remember the remark early in his administration when he said, “The Cop acted stupidly” even before he knew what had happened? He has less than 100 days in office now; maybe this country can return to normal after January 17. That is, only if Hillary is not elected.
The reason there is a Black Lives Movement is this:For centuries,in this country black life has Not Mattered to those of the Cacasion Race that hold the Negro Race in Contempt!Where you may not hold this Racist view, Others of your Race do. Therefore, do not get offended if your Race has always oppressed The Negro Race whether we try to LOVE YOUR RACE or not, this true is a Fact. Now, All lives Matter, Black, White, Yellow or Red! Murder is Murder regardless of whomever commits this evil act! BLM is simply stating to the POLICE to STOP murdering “UNARMED”CITIZENS Period!! Now if you have a problem with the Root Aim of The BLM, then you’re not for justice for any Race of or oppressed person whether they be any race!! This lesson that ambushed these policeman is a murderous,so are the Policemen that kill any Unarmed citizen!!
This is what Hell-lary wants more cop killers so she can make a strong case and be able to convince the public that the American people must surrender their guns in order to stop these cop killers
