Cop Lives Matter or no??
There you have it...Cop down, Criminal up...seriously, when would a cop have drawn a stun gun when he was told the person he seeks has a gun? 2016...SMH.

(CNN)A gunman opened fire on law enforcement Wednesday, killing two sheriff's deputies in Maryland.
Officers were dispatched to a Panera Bread location in Abingdon for an investigation late Wednesday morning, according to the Harford County Sheriff's Office. There, a suspect fired at a deputy, striking him.
The suspect fled and was seen heading toward nearby apartments, the sheriff's office said.
A second deputy attempted to make contact and also was struck by gunfire. Additional deputies fired at the gunman, who was pronounced dead at the scene.
"Today's a sad for the Harford County Sheriff's Office and the citizens of Hartford County who we are sworn to serve. It's with great sadness that I tell you both deputies who were shot earlier today have succumbed to their injuries," said Sheriff Jeffrey Gahler.
One of the deputies was a 30-year veteran of the agency; the other had served for 16 years. They were not identified by name.
The shooting suspect has been identified as David Bryant Evans, 67.
Evans had at least two outstanding warrants in two states, including one in Florida for assaulting a police officer, Gahler said.
Abingdon is northeast of Baltimore.
(CNN)A 28-year-old officer from Prince George's County, Maryland, was shot and killed Sunday after a suspect opened fire on a police station, authorities said.
Chief Hank Stawinski told reporters that the suspect launched an unprovoked attack. Officers returned fire.
During the exchange, the suspect was wounded, Stawinski said. He is expected to survive. A second suspect was also arrested.
The chief identified the fallen officer as Jacai Colson, a four-year veteran of the department. Colson would have celebrated his 29th birthday this week.
According to Stawinski, the suspect opened fire on the first officer he saw. Other officers then became aware of what was happening and returned fire.
"It wasn't about anything. This man launched an attack on a police station, " the chief said about the suspect. "Officers weren't in the process of apprehending him or engaging him in any way. They were going about their business on a Sunday afternoon, at their home, when they were attacked."
Colson was assigned to the department's Narcotic Enforcement Division and had worked as an undercover officer -- though that had nothing to do with his killing, Stawinski said.
Fraternal Order of Police President John Teletchea described the attack as unwarranted, unprovoked, unprecedented and unacceptable.
He remembered Colson as someone with an infectious smile and tremendous personality.
"He was a police officer who was a real cop's cop. He didn't shy away from any calls. He never shirked his responsibility. He was always working and he was always there for his fellow brothers and sisters," Teletchea said.
Howard county Indiana officer shot and killed while trying to serve a warrant.
Any narcotics search warrant we do is executed by a SERT or SWAT team. RIP.
And yet another, this time in Georgia. Officers responding to a domestic dispute call. One killed, another critically wounded. Suspect still at large.
Authorities: 1 officer killed, 1 wounded; shooter at large
