    Police officer shot during routine traffic stop.

    As Sgt. Lunger got out of the car and approached the driver side of the vehicle, the driver shot Sgt. Lunger without warning

    Pretty awful story. At least they shot the son of a bitch and have him in custody.

    That's sad, this is why I would never antagonize the officer on a traffic stop, some of them are on edge

    Umm... approaching is something that happens in a traffic stop. There's a reason cops in the US are trigger-twitchy, and this is part of it.

    And this is why the police sometimes shoot people.

    Maybe if civilians weren't trigger-twitchy, the police wouldn't shoot them.

    Catch 22.

    Please show me where its common with thousands of police officers on the job are killing people in traffic stops everyday, this is just a fool hearted statement.

    And why is that?
    I am never " twitchy" around police officers. And I actully carry a concealed hand gun. Might I add, I have a permit for it.
    Again, why are all these law abiding citizens twitchy around police officers?

    That sucks. Policing is a dangerous job, but its still unfortunate when people get killed trying to make our society a safer place.

    "Unarmed innocent" people police have shot. Let's have some names of UNARMED INNOCENT people. Come on. I know you can do it. I have faith.

    Baltimore saw 7 shot last night.

    A lot of these places are war zones, why are people surprised many cops act the way they do?

    Because I'm actually afraid that if I say the wrong thing I might get pulled out of my driver-side window and beaten. And I'm a white guy.

    Just to be clear, I'm not a police hater. I've only been pulled over twice in the last five years. Once for speeding, once for having a headlight out.

    This is a version of No True Scotsman. In the US, we're innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. Therefore, by definition, any unarmed person shot before going through the justice system is an "unarmed innocent" person. Period.

    I am not afraid. Not at all. Nothing to be afraid about. You all are drinking the media propaganda kool-aid.

    you murdered a police officer, you're not leaving prison until you're a corpse.

    We will never know if they were 'innocent' or not, considering they're dead and didn't get a trial.
