No description of suspect in either story, so I'm going to go out on a limb and assume it was one of Obama's sons.....

(CNN)—A manhunt is underway for a suspect who fatally shot a police officer during a traffic stop in Tennessee, authorities said Sunday.

Memphis Police Officer Sean Bolton, 33, was shot multiple times Saturday night by a person who was in the car he pulled over, police said.

The assailant remains at large, Memphis police spokeswoman Karen Rudolph said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A manhunt continued Sunday following the fatal shooting of a Memphis police officer who was killed the previous night during a traffic stop, Tennessee police officials said.

Memphis Police Director Toney Armstrong said during a news conference that police were alerted about 9:18 p.m. Saturday that an officer had been shot multiple times. Armstrong said the officer was transported in critical condition to a hospital, where he died.

In a statement Sunday morning, Memphis Police identified the slain officer as Sean Bolton, 33. Police also said that a civilian had used Bolton’s radio to notify police about the shooting. No further details were released.

Armstrong said police have not made an arrest and the suspect is on the run. He said police are using all available resources to find the shooter.

Bolton was shot near one of the main arteries in southeast Memphis, an area that includes homes, apartments and businesses. Police are looking for potential witnesses and are asking for members of the public who have information about the suspect to come forward. No suspects have been publicly identified.

Armstrong said officers are grieving, adding that “this is just a reminder of how dangerous” the job is.

“Sadly to say, we’ve been here before,” he said.

Bolton is the third Memphis officer to be fatally shot in slightly more than four years. Officer Tim Warren was killed while responding to a shooting at a downtown Memphis hotel in July 2011. In December 2012, Officer Martoiya Lang was killed while serving a warrant.

Memphis Mayor A.C. Wharton Jr. said Bolton’s death “speaks volumes about the inherent danger of police work” and asked others to “pray for the family and pray for our city.” During past police shootings, both Wharton and Armstrong have said too many violent criminals are out on the street and have easy access to guns.

“The men and women in blue have certain rules of engagement that they have to follow, but at any given minute in a 24-hour day they’re dealing with folks who have no rules of engagement,” Wharton said.

Standing by for the flood of protests demanding Justice for Bolton.



.....crickets.....

They did arrest a "person of interest"

If Officer Bolton's white and his assailant was of color, you can bet it won't get farther than local news.

My son knew him personally, as they served together in the Marines in Iraq. He described him as a genuinely good man. So sad to make home only to be killed by a local P.O.S.
R.I.P. Officer Bolton.

Beyond sad. RIP Marine.

Prayers on the way for Officer Bolton, his family, friends, and fellow officers.

A crying shame.

Police Departments in large cities should require two man patrols.

The kinds of sons of bitches that are shooting down cops at traffic stops are cowardly. If they knew another cop was backing up the one doing the talking, it would cut down the numbers of these murders by a bunch.

i really don't know if they are cowardly, but an officer with a backup couldn't be bad. the same goes for a bunch of stuff.

two police in a car has it's opponents, but there's plenty of support for the policy as well.

The more folks get the idea the cops may rough them up or even kill them over minor shyt the more cops will be killed over minor shyt. The cops bring a lot of this on themselves because they make people afraid to cooperate/surrender peaceably.

How do you know it was over 'minor' shiet Einstein?

His black heart told him so...

I don't really care one way or another. I've seen enough people needlessly roughed up or killed by cops over the last few years that I just can't muster much sympathy.

Yeah sure, so you buy into the race baiting propaganda. Soft minds...remain ignorant and proud of it. Not a good excuse for the lack of respect for law and order.

Needlessly? If you personally know that many people who have been roughed up/killed by police I question what type of characters you associate with. I'm getting pretty sick of all the cop hating on this site, granted by just a few. But it gets tiring.

Praying for Officer Bolton and his family.

Didn't say I knew any of them personally but I do watch the news. The latest incident was just a couple weeks ago with Sandra Bland or whatever her name was and yes, she was needlessly roughed up. Furthermore, I have come to view the cops as little more than paid govt. thugs that are mostly just here to make sure none of us peasants get too far out of line and turn over a sufficient amount of our income to keep feeding the giant leech. We have VERY LITTLE crime around here. There has only been one murder in my old home town in my lifetime and that one was committed by a retired NYC cop. The ONE TIME I ever called the cops in my entire life was when my car was broken into. Some lowlife smashed out a window and stole my stereo and my favorite Buck knife. The cops refused to do a damned thing to try to find out who did it. They just laughed and told me I watch too much TV when I suggested they try to get fingerprints.

Oh yeah, almost forgot. GFY.

The chief of police said ' all lives matter"--- that means the officer was white.
Will not hear about this on the MSN

Is it unChristian of me to say I could gladly be put in charge of the execution of this type of person? In fact we could line up a couple and dispatch them with one shot from a .454 firing 260 grainers.

This seems to be a frequent thread here lately,
thoughts go out to his family.

You can retain your "good Christian" status along with guys like TLee, etc.

I don't figure Ive fit that mold in a while.....leave that trash to "us"

RIP Brother.......

yes +2

RIP Soldier, thank you for your service. Prayers for the family of the slain officer.

Looks like they know who did it.

Prayers sent from N.C. I hope the catch the piece of garbage.

...and save the public the expense of a trial and prison time...

Memphis is full of black terrorist, I despise to go there but have to sometimes ,

That's why. Not the minor sheit.

In a drag hook.

RIP Brother.

Tremaine Wilbourne.

An Irish Catholic maybe??

At this juncture it would be DAMNED interesting to see the Race, "Bio", and Political affiliation of his "Social Worker".

SPARE us the interview with his Mama, and the "he was always a good boy," please.

Speechless and on the verge of incoherentcy here at the prevalent and repetitive nature of this particular theme.

Tall trees and short ropes,....LONG overdue.

GTC

Sorry but I am a law and order kind of guy. He needs to be caught, have a trial, then taken out the back of the court house and hung. Slow would work for me.

Rest easy Brother. Prayers out for family.

Sorry,....way too much "Law", and a declining level of "Order", on a widespread societal level look to be obsoleting courthouses.

Ropes, Colts, and (of course) Sharps rifles.

GTC

I think you are okay.

RIP

This is getting out of hand.

Thin Blue-Line

Ditto Terry. This is happening way too often. Punishment should be swift and the ultimate. God bless all the officers who stand guard.

Jim

from the article;

Tremaine Wilbourn, 29, was sentenced to 121 months in prison in February for the robbery. But Wilbourn, who had also been arrested in 2014 on a charge of aggravated robbery, paid a fine and agreed to mental health treatment on July 7.

Less than a month later, a warrant for first-degree murder has been issued for Wilbourn.


how many time do we have to go through this.

Bad Bob was my hero!

I doubt it will change until folks get mad enough to hang judges who allow this crap.

memfrica...................................

Posting the guys picture would be a start. And a pass for any citizen who kills him.

His picture can be found HERE

Gonehuntin: The main suspect in this murder of the policeman is indeed "one of the HNIC's SONS"!
That murderous ghetto scum is just another of barrack hussein obamas "non-violent", "get out of jail free" negroes!
Sad what the HNIC is doing to this country and he's really stepping on the gas here in the waning moths of his term.
I will hold a celebration the day this scum sucker is no longer in power - and the sooner that day comes the better, for the United States of America.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy
P.S.: Don't hold your breath waiting for hussein obama to call the family of this slain officer (and Marine veteran!) to offer sympathy or condolences.
If the fallen officer had been a common street hustling negro hussein obama would have already sent an investigative delegation from the "justice department" (ha-ha, justice for who department is the question) to investigate and blackmail the Memphis P.D. - and he would have called the family of said street hustler so's they could all compare the sizes of the chips on their shoulders!

the POS suspect has been arrested

ked

He be a good boy. [wanted to beat his Mama to the comment]

What's wrong with our system that this POS was free on the streets?

It amazes me that he was captured "alive."

He turned himself in at a Federal courthouse, apparently a state courthouse skeered him.

I think he knew he'd have a tougher time at a local courthouse, worrying that he wouldn't make it to the jail. He might be right.

You can thank the court appointed psychiatrists that brokered his release on probation..
