Memphis, Tenn.-- Officer Sean Bolton of the Memphis PD was shot numerous times after a traffic stop and later died of his wounds. The alleged shooter, who is at large, is black, Bolton was white. However, this was probably not a hate crime, but simply a "hate cop" crime--I doubt it matters to his family.
Officer Bolton inadvertently interrupted a small drug-buy when 29-year-old Tremaine Wilbourne, a convicted bank robber, shot the officer several times.
Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong spoke to reporters and questioned the premise of the radical anti-police group Black Lives Matter that some lives are more important than others.
Armstrong is black; he doesn't have an axe to grind with his race.
"As a community we say so often as a theme--black lives matter and at the end of the day, we have to ask ourselves: do all lives matter? Regardless of race, creed, color, economic status, what profession that person holds, all lives matter and this is just a reminder of how dangerous this job is," Armstrong said.
When the former mayor of Baltimore, Martin O'Malley was booed by the Black Lives Matter crowd because he also said 'all lives matter,' he later apologized for being so insensitive to people who think only black lives matter and that cops are expendable.
I don't see Armstrong apologizing in the future to those anarchists and racists who get their joy from wreaking revenge against the police. These are the same scumbags who chanted "Kill the cops," at recent rallies after the Baltimore and Ferguson riots.
These are the same people who pay tribute to Assata Shakur, a convicted cop killer who fled to Cuba and who Obama refuses to extradite now that he has smoothed over relationships with the Cuban dictators and gone "full commie."
