The chart of officers killed at the link sure covers a long period of time:



In the more rural, sparsely populated areas of the Colonies, the sheriff was the main law enforcement figure. Appointed by the governor, sheriffs’ duties included serving legal documents such as writs, appearing in court, and collecting taxes. In many cases, the sheriff was paid a fixed amount for each task he performed, some, for example, receiving payment based on the amount of taxes they collected. Occasionally, these tasks proved dangerous. In fact, the first known American peace officer to be killed in the line of duty was Columbia County (NY) Sheriff Cornelius Hogeboom, who was shot on October 22, 1791, as he attempted to serve a writ of ejectment.

This early policing system was modeled after the English structure, which incorporated the watch, constables, and sheriffs (derived from the British term, “shire-reeves”) in a community-based police organization. (Interestingly, the British system developed from “kin policing” dating back to about 900 A.D., in which law enforcement power was in the people’s hands, and they were responsible for their families or “kin.”) Early law enforcement was reactionary, rather than pre-emptive—the watch usually responded to criminal behavior only when requested by victims or witnesses.

ejectment
n. a lawsuit brought to remove a party who is occupying real property. This is not the same as an unlawful detainer (eviction) suit against a non-paying or unsatisfactory tenant. It is against someone who has tried to claim title to the property. Example: George Grabby lives on a ranch which he claims he has inherited from his great uncle, but Betty Benefield sues for ejectment on the basis that, in fact, she was entitled to the property through her parents.

the very first sheriff killed in the US was using violence to uphold a deed against an occupation and use claim to property



Sheriff Cornelius Hogeboom was shot and killed while serving a writ of ejectment. He was ambushed and shot by a group of men who were disguised as Indians.

Then suspects were arrested and charged with Sheriff Hogeboom's murder but



all were acquitted.

There’s somebody out there shooting police officers. We hope we find him before anyone else gets hurt.

We definitely don’t want anyone in the public or the community to get hurt.

well... with two less low IQ, meatheaded, roid rage, mock trial entitled pigs on the prowl it would seem less likely.

Doesn't sound as though the public or community is being targeted...

What do these folks think is going to happen when they declare open war on the citizens?

1. What is a gang?
There is no single, generally accepted definition of a “gang.” State and local jurisdictions tend to develop their own definitions.

The following criteria are commonly used for classifying groups as gangs:

The group has three or more members, generally aged 12–24.
Members share an identity, typically linked to a name, and often other symbols.
Members view themselves as a gang, and they are recognized by others as a gang.
The group has some permanence and a degree of organization.
The group is involved in an elevated level of criminal activity.

Wow, that's a whole lot of WTF?


“Most police officers in the area are familiar with Greene,” Urbandale Police Chief Ross McCarty said at the press conference. “They’ve taken trips to his home or delivered service to him, but nothing to this extent.”

Cops run a delivery service now? I'd tip well for a beer run, late night, and they's be doing a community service. Also...


In the filings, which require one to disclose any property that has value, Greene does not list any firearms under the section requiring the debtor to do so.

Really? I did not know that.
