Three people have been charged over the fatal shooting of two police officers during a traffic stop in the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg on Saturday night, authorities said.

The officers, Benjamin J. Deen, 34, and Liquori Tate, 25, were gunned down after one of them pulled over a Hyundai for a speeding violation, according to Warren Strain, a spokesman for the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.

Three suspects, including two brothers, were arrested in different locations after a manhunt that lasted into the early hours of Sunday morning, Strain said.

Marvin Banks, 29, was charged with two counts of capital murder, grand theft auto, and a felon in possession of a firearm; Joanie Calloway, 22, was charged with two counts of capital murder; and Curtis Banks, 26, was charged with accessory after the fact of capital murder.

The suspects fled after the incident, Strain said, with Marvin Banks alleged to have escaped in one of the officer's vehicles.

This type of crap forces officers to make difficult real time decisions while liberals and libertarians play Monday morning quarterback.

Death Penalty is too nice. Put them in general population, too bad Lawrence Phillips won't be their cell mate because he knows how to get the proper job done.

No liberals care to post in this thread? I guess it doesn't fit their agenda.

Officers jobs are easy and should make the right decision 3verytime. There is no threat to their lives at all.

its self defense. Blacks are scared that cops are going to kill them so the blacks are the aggressors out of self defense towards the cops

Michael Brown attacked the cop in ferguson Because Brown thought the cop was going to kill him. I'm sure these two stand out citizens thought the same thing.


Trying to twist it how liberals would.

But remember only those who have a rap sheet. Being black, I have no fear for the cops unless I am hiding something or did something wrong, which is never and they respect that. If you are black and nothing to hide, you talk to them, they are really cool. I lost it one time because they tried to make me look like an idiot to my boss that was in the car with me. But they got theirs in the end and chief of police had to publicly apologize to me. After that not one problem with them, EVER.

I'm curious how many cops were killed last year. I don't know the answer - so am I asking

Edit: Found it.

The number of police officers killed in the line of duty increased in 2014, a report by the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund finds. In total, 126 officers were killed in 2014. That's a 24 percent increase from 2013, when 102 officers were killed.Dec 30, 2014

So about 10% of citizens killed by cops.

So the number should be equal in order to make it right?

[gilesfan]

Yes, law abiding citizens should be shot at the same rate as criminals.

You can't make this **** up.

are the people that shot the cops going to get away with it? i'm confused. if they're not prosecuted you have a point.

It just leads into the idea that being a police officer is an incredibly difficult job and that decisions made in real time won't always be right nad logical. Yes, get the egregious offenders but we need to understand that bad decisions are often made by good people.

Hmm... not sure I said that.

Would be nice if the other number was significantly smaller

It would be nice if people comply with cops and not put their lives in danger as well.

The most common sense in this whole thread.

If you did nothing wrong, why fight the cops or make their lives difficult? Yes some are dirty but have to provoke them to bring the nasty out of them.

[sturg33]

Yes of course:

[gilesfan]

yeah, there was that 1 time so that means it always happens.

[sturg33]

I agree with you. Do what the cop says, and if you don't, the cop should kill you.

Cops should shoot every black person because two cops just were killed by black people.
