This is a very bad situation. A cop has to live with the fact he killed his own. I'm sure we all could walk this back and find ways that cop was wrong, but I feel for both of the families of the Blue on Blue, but I'm leaning on the cop who's still here. He HAS to live with what he did, and that is a VERY heavy burden on your shoulders. I hope he gets help. He's going to need it. I hope the families get it, they're going to need it. This is how Tillman was killed. I believe it was never mentioned who actually killed him, although we know it was one of his fellow Soldiers. To my LEO's on here, be safe. Keep your heads on a swivel, and remember to watch where you shoot. Sometimes not firing, can be better than firing your weapon.

SSG Warren Swan, friendly fire will always happen when you have armed men, via it police or military fighting against an armed opponent, especially when there are many of them such as outside the police station. My sympathies are with the family of Officer Colson and my thoughts are prayers are with his coworkers who are very obviously affected by this. As a retired Military Police Officer and with appointments to NYPD and Border Patrol, officer deaths always affect me as do our military ones. There is a website specially devoted to officer involved deaths. I will post it in a shared link Warren. Thanks for sharing.

SSG Warren Swan what a tragic loss of human life. I really hope that Maryland is smart enough to execute the two who videoed, and keep the one who was hoping to die alive for a long time. Lock him in a cell filled with nothing but pictures of Detective Colson. Their parents must be so proud of how their sons turned out.

No they won't. All will get life sentences unless they get some "doc" to come in and say they were mentally disturbed like the guy in AZ tried to do in his defense. Personally, I'd do them one better. I'll send you to RC-East or South in the Stan. I'll give you water, and food, and some uniforms. At 2200 I'll release you into the wild. If you can make it to the nearest COB, you live, and we send you home with a pardon. I won't mention the fact that at 1800, I briefed all the local warlords the direction these clowns are headed and that they're on the prowl and weaponless. Shouldn't take long at all.
