Alcohol and guns are a bad mix for everyone.

Other than making a leap from the location, where is the confirmation that alcohol was involved in this shooting? I didn't see it mentioned in the article . . .

I live 1/2 way between Akron & Cleveland. Prayers to this young officer's family. But I will say this: nothing GOOD ever comes from being in a bar late at night.

Prayers for Officer Winebrenner's family and friends.

I don't understand why if they know for sure he did it why they took this guy alive. I guess LE has more scruples then I have. He would have been meat on the slab if I knew no one was watching and I knew positively he did it. Then again you have to have a lot of trust in those around you. Glad they got him and no one else was hurt.

I don't live in Akron, but I work for the University of Akron Police Department. My daughter is a member of the city of Akron police explorers group we have gotten to know some officers quite well. Apparently the suspect/future death row inmate attended the same fundraiser earlier in the evening that the officer did.

Sounds like we live close by each other.
Akron is near by, and a few years ago, the officer in Twinsburg, ohio lost his life while on duty.
Prayers to the family

Cops get too little respect for the job they do.

I grew up in Shaker Heights. I was just in Akron last week. We went to visit a reserve base in Youngstown and flew into Akron.

This is always tough to hear. Prayers lifted up for his family and co-workers.

In keeping with the line of this thread, and the ever increasing number of cop killings, I just read a news article from Virginia that stated the U S attorney general has taken the death penalty "off the table" for the four thugs/gang members who were arrested for the murder of a Va. law officer.

How he has the audacity to do something like this escapes me..oh, wait...THAT AG.

Sadly, I wasn't surprised at hearing that. I was unaware that this was a federal case.
