Police officer shot and killed in Gamestop

http://www.nj.com/south/index.ssf/2015/03/philadelphia_police_officer_shot_in_head_at_game_s.html

They assailants are brothers with previous arrest histories.

Story goes that he was buying a PS4 for his son's birthday, two guys came in trying to rob the place, and the police officer and his partner engaged in a shoot-out with the guys, before being gunned down.

It sucks that his 1-year-old kid, and now 9-year-old kid are now no longer going to have a father.

Bump.

This is sad.

Not sure what else we're supposed to say.

Why was that thread about the cops beating that dad to death deleted?

Because it happened a year ago and "there have been developments". Ask Ush. He's the one who closed it.

Here is the link, if you are interested

Thanks for bringing up that completely unrelated thread up in mine, guys. Really, I appreciate the help.

You are welcome. Don't know why we should only discuss citizens attacking cops and not vice versa.

Talk to ush?

I talked in that thread, but you'd be a little annoyed if I entered your dead thread and said "HEY, LETS TALK ABOUT THIS BETTER AND MORE IMPORTANT TOPIC IN HERE".

Nope. I just posted the link because someone inquired about it. Don't think that's against forum rules.

Hmm. I see your point. Sorry people aren't too interested in this thread topic and would rather talk about something else.

Settle down JMang no one thinks this story is worth discussing other than to come in and offer our condolences to the family.

I know you're being sarcastic. But still, its fine, I'm not bitching that no one cares about this thread, I'm bitching because NOT just you, but several others are talking about, not just a different topic, but the thread the topic was in.

I could care less about a thread, I have abandoned them before.

Because apparently civility is dead.
