When we last heard from the Eustis police, they were being tyrannical pricks*. So the news that an ambush style attack was carried out against police in that area doesn’t surprise me. It doesn’t look to me like it was a deliberate ambush, but an impromptu one. The article also doesn’t mention whether the other people who were killed in the shoot out were bystanders or were involved in the ambush.
It could be that the two people killed in the house were victims of the original nutball who prompted all of this, or it could be that they were struck by bullets fired by the “brave” cops who were indiscriminately firing at the sound of gunfire in a “spray and pray” tactic.
Either way, I don’t care about the cops who were killed, and I don’t care about the crazy bitch who likely bought it. I will reserve my sympathy for any innocent bystanders. To anyone reading this who is a cop- stop being tyrannical cowardly assholes that slap unarmed citizens around, toss grenades into baby cribs, arrest parents who are demanding that you do your jobs, and rid your profession of the dead wood, and maybe I will care again.
It’s really a shame, because I used to have lots of love and respect for a profession that has lost its way.
* On a side note, the driver in the original Eustis case does not have any record of charges actually being filed against him in that county at any point this year. I am guessing that the State Attorney didn’t think that his behavior warranted criminal charges, still it cost him money to get his car out of impound. All for telling a cop that where he worked was none of his business. I would consider an attorney, were I in his place.

Old song from the 1990’s that goes well with your article “THIS IS ME NOT CARING”

LEOs have shown their true hand; we no longer have to guess whether police forces will mindlessly obey unconstitutional edicts by their paymasters (our elected/appointed “leaders”).
They will. The COVID abominations gave us numerous examples of mindless stupidity & unbelievable use of force by police who could as easily have left people alone:
–tasering a woman in the stands of a nearly deserted soccer field because she was not masked.
–going out in a police boat in San Diego harbor to arrest/detain a lone guy on his paddle board, miles from any other living soul. Were COVID a lethal disease instantly spread by close contact with an “infected,” those cops were then (mindlessly) placing themselves at risk of contagion. Leave the guy alone and no harm would be done but, no! He disobeyed a LEO’s order. That WAS the crime!
–drawing their guns on an unarmed, non-threatening guy in a Quick Mart because the latter was not masked (if I draw a weapon in similar circumstances I go to jail for brandishing).
So, no, I will not be a civilian back-up for a cop who finds himself in a difficult place. The risk of being shot as a perp (by another cop who arrives on scene) is too high and I have already figured out that LEOs are not my friends and they are not on my side.
As is said, we are on our own.

So I just have to wonder if this is some cover up of cops gone bad…. Maybe, hopefully not, probably not. But just knowing how the brotherhood works does make me wonder.

[…] to the story on the cops who were ambushed in Eustis last week. The cops entered the house and split up. They obviously didn’t clear the rooms very well, […]
