A U.S. Marshal has been wounded and two St. Petersburg police officers killed trying to make an arrest, the Associated Press reported.
Police said the suspect was hiding in attic when the officers tried to arrest him and opened fire. Authorities had to punch a hole in the house to rescue one of the wounded officers, The Associated Press reported.
This shooting comes on the heels of last week's shooting in Miami in which two Miami-Dade officers were shot to death trying to serve a murder warrant.

Could it possibly be our laws are wrong? Could it possibly be those with self serving bigoted agendas have manipulated “ drugs “ in to employment, political gains and fund raising opportunities? Such as politicians getting reelected, lawyers, judges, da’s, probation officers, police officers, bail bondsmen, jails, prisons, rehabilitation centers, u. a. testing, etc.. Drugs are truly a money maker for “ BOTH “ the supposed bad guys and those that feed their families off the misery of others! Sadly “ both “ sides of this war are sacrificing with their lives, AND FOR WHAT???
Answer this question for me, please:
“ If “ we have been on the right path with the longest war our country has ever been in ( sadly one against our own sons and daughters) for the last 40+ years while spending over a “ Trillion “ tax dollars and putting more people behind bars than any other country on earth.
Would not logic, facts, reality and common sense dictate that the need for more resources, funding, prisons, jails, probation, courts etc… should all be going down “ NOT “ up year after year?
If logic, facts, reality and common sense can “ NOT “ be used to support and justify this known failure called the war on drugs, why should we be forced to???
