Why when an officer gets killed everyone has to pay the price?

This is not the first time this has happened where someone kills a peace officer and many innocent folk have to pay the price. It happened in South Texas years ago and now in Washington. At first, I went along because they said he had an accomplice. All of a sudden, they began arresting everyone that knows him or is related to him. This is no more than a racist vindictive move!!. There is absolute no way that a human (that is bleeding profusely) can travel to every friend and kin he knows and ask for help! He would have bled to death by the second visitation. This is about being angry because his relatives would not divulge any information. The very notion that his aunt is arrested for attending to his wound makes was more than I could take. Every day, someone helps someone that is bleeding. Questions are asked, but the assistants can only go on what they are told. This man did not run into his aunt's house and say "I killed four cops!" There is no telling what kind of lie he told her. Who to say that his aunt is the one who always told him to live right and clean up his act. Most southern black older women are very Church and Christ centered. I am not believing this lie that she went out of her way to knowingly assist a killer. One of the relative they did not arrested stated that THE FAMILY IS NOT AS THEY ARE PORTRAYED! Why do that idiot of a police chief not take five yellow school buses and arrest everyone else that to are related or knows him? There is much anger because four officers are dead and so is the killer. There has to be resolution, so the blame goes to friends and family. This only makes the matter worse! Obviously, there was a lot of anger against cops in that town already. It is very easy to make a move like this in a lily white red neck town in Washington and come out smelling like roses. The man who did the damage is dead. He is dead and cannot be tried. He killed others, and he was killed himself. I really do not think anyone was with him. Had there been others, there would have been more folk shooting. Witnesses saw one shooter, and they know this for a fact. When the Major wounded and killed folk at Ft. Hood, they were wanting to charge others but eventually backed off.

Every five minutes, someone else is charged that is related to the killer. If our nephew or brother came through the door and asked for help, we are not going to say no. We will began helping before he asked. Of course, we immediately began asking questions. Whether he tells us the true is on him. Most of the time, they lie. The killer could have easily told them that he got in a fight. Eventually, they saw it on t.v. and knew what had taken place. Someone has to pay, and guess who it is going to be? The very notion the cops think family and friends will rat on their loved ones is unconscionable. Sure, information is needed to solve something as heinous as this, but family members have never been reliable. I do not believe that his family knew until they saw it for themselves. We simply do not kill anyone let alone four cops and go home and say "I just killed four cops, so I want you all to bandage me up then hide me" It the policeman job to assume that family knows more than what they are saying, but what if they do not? As this saga continues, this trailer trash cop will try to become the hero by oppressing innocent folk. I would like to know what really went down that led to four cops being shot? Were they ambushed for no apparent reason, or had there been prior confrontations? There has to be more to the story. Again, I saw this very same incident in South Texas. The sheriff department reported one thing, but the truth came out after the fact. An innocent man was given THE DEATH SENTENCE who had absolutely nothing to do with the killing. His only crime was the fact that he was the friend of the one who killed the cops. That's right (believe it or not), he was the roommate. Because of his closeness, he became the makeshift killer. This is seldom if ever done when it comes to civilians being killed. Unless there is evidence, no other person will be charged.

I am not buying into the lie of the media, and I certainly not giving any credence to the lies of that supremacist chief in lily white town.

    Police are going to cover their own. We couldn't get anyone to be a police officer if they didn't feel relatively safe against attacks. So, they arrest anyone remotely related hoping they'll get information. It's probably over the top, but they'll say they had cause, and if someone would just say who the accomplice was, there wouldn't be a problem. They'll get the guy one way or another. Can't get away with killing a cop.

    And to be fair, if one of my relatives showed up at the door with gun shot wounds, I would certainly ask what in the world they had been doing, obviously something problematic and probably illegal, and if the aunt lied about it, that would make her, at the least, obstructing justice.

    I doubt it is a race thing, all police are like this when another police officer gets attacked, black, white, red, whatever.

    First of all where is your point? You rant way too much. One thing you need to learn to get your point across, state the facts and then SHUT UP. It's not a "lily white town", it's a town. Don't put your views of anyone/thing in the "story".

    Second, the family is being charged with the act of omission. They failed to alert the police of anything suspicious. It does not matter if the family will or will not rat on their own kin, it's a matter of law, don't like it? Then leave this country and go else where. No one is forcing you to stay.

    You see, when working in Law enforcement, everyone is like family to each other, we look out for one and another, when someone gets killed, of course we would be sad, just think about it, if you have someone in your family member who got killed(sorry) you would be sad, and say that they were a great person, and etc.

    trying to make a point by ranting and making verbal assaults, is not going to happen. This only proves you are bitter. Knock this down a few rpm's, calm down , don't get so excited when you thirst on being a police hater vampire. make your point and keep it simple.
