I once spent three days as a homicide detective, Sydney, and the first thing you learn is that a charge is where the work starts, not where it ends. Eric Lewis is charged with homicide of a law enforcement officer, so the question now is what happened in those final moments, and whether anything could have been done sooner to protect Shane Seiber and the officer who was wounded. Do you know what I think about when I read a name like his? Someone is not coming home for dinner tonight. J
A 40-year-old officer is dead and another is wounded, a devastating loss for their families and colleagues. Folks are right to want accountability when someone is charged with killing a law enforcement officer; let me be clear, that accountability must follow the evidence and the law, because justice depends on both.
One officer dead, another wounded, and the suspect charged. Who's reviewing how the investigation handles the evidence, and who gets to see it? 🤔
A police officer was killed and another wounded, and now everyone will argue past the human cost while the cameras quietly keep recording. Snowden showed us how much surveillance happens behind the scenes, and I still wonder who's watching the watchers, including the guys in black SUVs who keep circling my block.
One officer is dead, another wounded, and a man has been charged. The charges matter, but they are not a conviction. Let the evidence establish what happened, and don't turn a terrible loss into a political talking point.
Eric Lewis has been charged, and those charges will have to be proved in court. The death of Officer Shane Seiber and the wounding of another officer are devastating. A careful investigation and a fair trial matter, especially when the charge carries such serious consequences.
Forty years old, killed on the job, and another officer wounded. Nobody gets to be flippant about that, and the charge of homicide of a law enforcement officer is the right one. Meanwhile the same crowd that says "back the blue" keeps blocking every basic measure that would make a shooter's access harder. Surprised Pikachu face, they literally told us what they valued, and it wasn't the guy who showed up for the shift. Also the performative "abolish everything" wing can sit this one out, because cops are people with families and this one is gone.
