Great Answer from a Florida Sheriff. Florida's got it right. Bravo for Sheriff
Judd!!! As reported earlier this week, some dirtbag who got pulled
over in a routine traffic stop in Florida ended up "executing" the deputy who
stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right
ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A
statewide manhunt ensued. The low-life was found hiding in a wooded area
with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit the guy 68 times. Now here's the
kicker: Naturally, the media asked why they shot him 68 times.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel, "That's all the
bullets we had."

I wonder if we can get him to run for NY Governor? I like the way he thinks.

The Rev, and I use that phrase lightly ... very lightly, has said absolutely NOTHING about all this. Have you forgotten that the SHOOTERS were of the DARKER persuasion and the victims were of the LIGHTER persuasion? The Rev has no problem with this type of shooting apparently.
Glad to hear one of the officers was released. His partner has a long road to hoe if he recovers.
I understand that one of the recovered weapons was previously used in a drive-by. Surprise surprise!

You just gotta love a cops sense of irony.
It was reported that when the two scumbags, Ellis and Bostick were removed from the 67 Precinct in Brooklyn after they were returned from PA, they were restrained with the handcuffs of Police Officer Herman Yan and gravely injured Police Officer Russel Timoshenko.
If it wasn't so effen serious, it would almost be laughable. I wish I were there to hear what the detectives that escorted them out of the statiohouse had to have said about the handcuffs to these two useless pieces of excrement.

Unending Parental Vigil at the Bedside of a Gravely Wounded Officer
By ANDY NEWMAN - Friday, July 13th, 2007 'The New York Times'
By ANDY NEWMAN - Friday, July 13th, 2007 'The New York Times'
In their own private hell — a small, comfortable room at Kings County
Hospital Center and one next door where their only child lies hooked up to life-support machines — Leonid and Tatyana Timoshenko wait.
What else can they do? Their 23-year-old son, Police Officer Russel
Timoshenko, has improved little, the police say, since he was shot in the face by a man in a stolen BMW at the darkest hour of Monday morning.
They go to his room and pray and kiss his hands and speak softly to his
still, silent figure. When they are exhausted with grief, they go back to
their room and wait a little more.
The Timoshenkos’ hell is not without visitors. Yesterday, they received
Boris and Maya Marshalik, fellow immigrants from the former Soviet Union who thought they might be able to offer some small comfort. In March, their own son, Auxiliary Police Officer Yevgeniy Marshalik, was fatally shot on the street in Greenwich Village by a man who had just murdered a pizzeria worker.
Ms. Marshalik said the Timoshenkos were doing as well as could be expected, which is to say, worse than anyone who has never faced the loss of a child can imagine.
“When you see your child on life support. ...” she said, trailing off
momentarily. “Normal things. Crying. They have some hope. They’re not ready to let go.”
The Timoshenkos would like the world to know, Ms. Marshalik said, that they feel their son is getting the best possible care at Kings County.
“They were talking about in the media that it says they were upset at the hospital,” Ms. Marshalik said. “It’s not true.”
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly struck the same note at a news
conference outside the hospital yesterday afternoon. “They could not be more appreciative of the medical staff here at Kings County Hospital,” Mr. Kelly said of the Timoshenkos. “They know that
everything is being done for their son.”
Not that this has stopped the Timoshenkos from seeking second opinions. On Wednesday, Ms. Marshalik said, they contacted a doctor in Russia. They felt they had to do something. “Their son is still alive,” Ms. Marshalik said.
Much of the intervention being done these days is spiritual, rather than
medical. On Wednesday, a priest from the Orthodox Church of the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, anointed the officer’s face, his chest, and his arms with holy oil, seven times in succession, said Tatyana Borshchevskaya, a member of the church sisterhood. The ceremony was not Officer Timoshenko’s last rites, Ms. Borshchevskaya said yesterday. It was intended to heal him. In the past couple of days, she said, Officer Timoshenko has been looking a
little better. “Yesterday the swelling in his face was down,” she said. “Today I saw a little, little bit of his eyes.”
Commissioner Kelly said the reduced swelling did not mean much. “In
essence,” he said, “he remains in the same condition he’s been in since he arrived here at the hospital.”
Ms. Marshalik, who manages the medical office of her husband, a
pediatrician, in Sheepshead Bay, has been haunted by Officer Timoshenko and his family all week. Yesterday at her home in Valley Stream, on Long Island, she said, “I woke up at 3 o’clock and said, ‘I want to go there.’ ” The Marshaliks stayed with the Timoshenkos at the hospital for two hours. They were leery of sharing too much of what was said, but in any case, they said, there wasn’t much to say.
“You cannot say anything,” Boris Marshalik said. “I think anyone who went through that cannot be consoled or comforted.” “Mostly,” Ms. Marshalik said, “we just talked about our boys. They wanted us to know that their son was nice, too.”
Russel and Yevgeniy had a fair amount in common, Ms. Marshalik said. Their son was 19 when he was shot. Russel was 23. “Russel came to this country when he was 7,” she said. “Our son came when he
was 6. They were American boys.”
After they talked about their boys for as long as they could, the two
families parted. “We hugged, and we said, ‘If there’s anything we can do for you, please let us know,’ ” Ms. Marshalik said.
Then the Marshaliks returned to their medical practice, past the reception desk with the mural of Winnie-the-Pooh characters on the wall, and on into the back. The high-pitched sounds of not-so-sick children echoed from the treatment rooms. Ms. Marshalik bent over her desk and filled out some paperwork.

NYPD officer who was shot in the face during a traffic stop dies
By AMY WESTFELDT,AP
Posted: 2007-07-14 19:25:56
NEW YORK (AP) - An officer shot in the face during a Brooklyn traffic stop has died, the New York Police Department said Saturday.
Russel Timoshenko, 23, died at Kings County Hospital from the injuries he suffered early Monday when he and his partner stopped a stolen SUV in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighborhood, according to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly.
Timoshenko had been paralyzed, suffered brain swelling and was unable to breathe on his own. His partner, Herman Yan, hit in the chest and arm but saved by his bullet-resistant vest, was released from the hospital Tuesday. Kelly said Timoshenko died while on life support.
"It is a very sad day for all of us," Kelly said.
Timoshenko's family was at his side at the time of death, and a processional of officers, including Yan, filed past the body to pay condolences.
Kings County Hospital doctor Robert Kurtz said the officer died while on life support. "The activity in his brain ceased," he said. "From the second those bullets hit, he was unable to breathe and unable to move a muscle in his body."
Two suspects captured in the Pocono Mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania were charged in the assault; a third man suspected of driving the getaway car is being held in New York.
Robert J. Ellis and Dexter Bostic were ordered held without bail Friday at a Brooklyn hearing. The suspects faced charges of attempted murder, assault on a police officer and other crimes; but Kelly said Saturday charges would be raised.
Pennsylvania state troopers captured Ellis early Thursday morning in the Pocono Mountains, ending an intense manhunt that spanned three days and several states. Bostic was caught near the same remote spot on Wednesday.
Investigators said the two had a friend slip them out of the city by car shortly after the shooting. After pooling their money to fill up on gas in Connecticut, they agreed to have the unidentified driver keep going until there was a half a tank, then turn back and leave them behind in the wilderness, police said.
"They were literally hiding in the woods in a desperate attempt to avoid apprehension," said prosecutor Anna-Sigga Nicolazzi.
Authorities say Bostic and Ellis, both 34-year-old ex-convicts, were riding in a stolen SUV driven by a third man, Lee Woods, when police pulled the vehicle over early Monday morning in Brooklyn.
As officers Yan and Timoshenko approached either side of the vehicle, Boston shot Timoshenko in the face with a .45-caliber pistol, and Ellis fired on Yan with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun, police said.
Prosecutors said in court that both Bostic and Ellis had made incriminating statements about the shooting. They also said investigators had lifted Ellis's fingerprints off a Popeye's Chicken box that was found - along with the guns used in the shooting and a third firearm - in a bag ditched near the shooting scene.
But defense attorney Danielle Eaddy said Ellis was driving the car, not Woods, and insisted Ellis had not fired on the officer.
"Yes, he was behind the wheel of the car," she said, "but that's a far cry from attempted murder in the first degree."
The lawyer also accused police of assaulting her client after his arrest.
Police spokesman Paul Browne denied police had abused the prisoner and said forensic evidence supported charges that Woods was the driver.

Very sad day. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Timoshenko family. Sucks to lose a child especially this way. And then I read that Ellis's lawyer is accusing police of abusing her client? Is that bitch for real? I'd like to show her what abuse really is. Any sentence those MF's get is too good for them.
