ST. LOUIS SIMMERS: Black lives matter protester shot last weekend, paralyzed; today cop ambushed in attempted assassination

Early this morning four black males attempted to assassinate a (black) St. Louis police sergeant – in uniform – sitting in a car while working a second job security gig.  They pulled up in a car, a masked thug got out and opened fire.

Unfortunately for them, the police sergeant shot back and believes he hit one of the attackers.  We sit with fingers crossed his aim was true.

Now the search is on for the human debris to tried to kill this policeman.

The attack happened in a very decent neighborhood.

(Post Dispatch) – A search is under way for four men authorities believe were involved. The gunman, who covered his face with a bandana, ran off; three others fled in a silver or gray Ford sedan. The officer returned fire and may have hit one of the suspects.

“They targeted, they ambushed, they tried to assassinate a police officer,” Dotson said.

The officer’s injuries were not life-threatening. The officer, a 39-year-old sergeant who has been with the department for 16 years, suffered injuries to his torso or side. He was treated at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and released Tuesday morning.

The police officer and the gunman are both black, police say.

Of course, the low-class social justice warriors were out.  If you think they were out to condemn this criminal attack of a peace officer, you would be grossly mistaken.

Speaking of social justice warriors.

Check out this one:

That’s Braxton Claxton holding the Black Lives Matter sign, a proud member of the Dindu Nuffin’ clan.

He’s now paralyzed.

How did he get paralyzed as a young man?

He didn’t get hit by a bus.

He pointed a gun at a cop and got shot three times.  Now he’s going to enjoy the (prison) world from a wheelchair.

Here’s a shot of the little yardbird throwing up gang signs with his crew.

The whole family are familiar with violence.

(Post-Dispatch) –  …Antoinette Liggins, 42, told the Post-Dispatch that she was still sorting through her feelings with her daughter gone, one son in critical condition and another, who had been with him, held on a probation violation.

…“They didn’t have to shoot him down like that.”

…Liggins said police took in another son, Anthony Claxton, 15, who was with Brandon when he was shot. She said they told her he had violated his parole by missing curfew, and would be held. She said a GPS monitor was put on Anthony’s ankle last week for a juvenile charge last month of tampering with a motor vehicle.

Her daughter, Brenda Liddell, was 14 when she was shot Nov. 5, 2008, as she sat on a porch in the 5900 block of Alpha Avenue. Brenda died the next day. Liddell said she had forgiven the boy, then 15, who shot her by accident. She said he was charged as a juvenile with reckless homicide, and held until age 18.

Liggins said that the tampering charge was Anthony’s only brush with the law and that she had had no problems with Brandon until he was shot. He was about to start the 10th grade at Sumner High School and was recently hired at Goodwill.

Upstanding family of the year, right there.  But the hits keep on coming.

Liggins, who is unemployed and looking for a job, said she was trying to obtain legal services for her sons.

Well, honey, maybe you should have raised decent human beings instead of criminals.

And check out the quote from a witness, opining as to the legality of shooting an armed suspect and for the reason Brandon might have had a gun in his hand:

Dustin Ball, 27, saw Brandon with a gun and believes police were justified to arrest him — but not to shoot. He said he thought the teen was just trying to escape, and posing no immediate threat. Ball speculated that the weapon was in Brandon’s hand because “it was a big gun and he couldn’t run with it on his hip.”
