A coincidence that another cop was shot down too somewhere else on the same day those 2 cops in New York were shot down? That one that happened in Florida is on Google News front page too.
Granted neither of these events qualify as a "false flag" , nor are there any in the alternative news community calling them that either, one still has to wonder if both incidents are somehow connected.
Is there some kind of link between each gunman? Did they collaborate on this together to shoot down a cop or 2 on the same day??
This said though, cops are shot down and killed on a regular basis and not just in America either, but all over the world. As the grand-daughter of the chief of police of a major American city, let me tell you how many times a year my own family members attended funerals several times a year for cops being shot down in the line of duty. I have aunts and uncles who were on the force too. And then in my own generation... a family member is the chief county prosecutor of same large city too. Once again, a lot of attended cop funerals. Nothing has changed in this modern era either and in fact, such horrific incidents are happening with much more frequency than ever before.
Cops are shot down be they black, white, yellow, green or orange.... But rest assured, they are shot down first and foremost because they are cops hence why the job is so dangerous.
This said though, the gunman may be more apt to shoot down a cop whose race/ethnicity they are prejudiced against or are hostile to for various reasons... So race/ethnicity ALWAYS comes into play to a certain extent when gunmen shoot down cops. That's just a given and it comes with the territory.
Florida police officer killed; suspect charged with murder
A veteran Florida police officer was shot and killed while on duty early Sunday by a man described as transient, according to law enforcement officials, who gave no motive for the suspect now charged with murder.
Officer Charles Kondek, 45, was gunned down in Tarpon Springs, about 30 miles northwest of Tampa, after responding to a call for service around 2 a.m. EST, the Tarpon Springs Police Department said.
The officer later died of his injuries at a local hospital, the police department said.
His death followed a Saturday afternoon shooting in New York City, where a gunman shot dead two police officers and then killed himself. Authorities said that shooter had indicated on social media that he might seek revenge for recent U.S. police killings of unarmed black men.
In the Florida case, police said they arrested Marco Antonio Parilla Jr., 23, on a charge of first-degree murder.
Parilla was taken into custody after fleeing the shooting scene and crashing into a pole and another vehicle, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said in a release.
Police officials did not give any information about the type of call Kondek had responded to ahead of the shooting.
Kondek served on the Tarpon Springs police force for more than 17 years and previously worked as an officer for the New York City Police Department, officials said.
A man with the same name and birth date as Parilla was released from a Florida prison in March after serving a little more than two years for leaving the scene of a crash where there were injuries, as well as for various drug charges, corrections records show.
Sheriff's officials did not immediately confirm whether that man was now the suspect in Kondek's death.
