From What I Get

This was a DRUG raid so the shooter was suspected of a crime.

Too many unanswered questions to pass judgment on who's at fault here. Last I knew, when doing a raid officers in front wear shielding to protect vital parts, so why was this officer fatality shot?

Maybe the chief should be blamed for sending in a unprotected officer?

Maybe the shooter was whacked out on drugs?

Why did the shooter have a gun so close to use in a seconds moment?

Maybe the officer wasn't clear or loud enough when entering the home?

Chosen, your an a$$hat

in the first degree!!
This Officer was preforming his duty, serving a narcotics seach warrant. The bad guy started shooting without knowing who was on the other side of the door. Tell you what, next time DTF makes a raid on an establishment you lead the way UNARMED!!! Then come back and tell us how that went, OK?
My prayers go out to this Officers family and brother Officers in this time of sorrow. And may the fallen Officer not only have his name inscribed in the Law Enforcement memorial in DC, but may his name be inscribed in all our hearts as well.

I think

that everyone on this board should think twice to responding to anything that Chosen ever posts again.
The dreaded silent treatment sounds appropriate for this first class a$$hat.

Dave

Sorry Dave but I must agree that your argument on this one is way off. Perhaps you should look at the obit and realize that this is a good man that left behind a wife and children and using it in your furthering your argument is totally wrong.

''A funeral has been set for Chesapeake Police Detective Jarrod Shivers, a 34-year-old officer killed last week in the line of duty.

His funeral will be 11 a.m. Tuesday at Great Bridge Baptist Church, 640 S. Battlefield Blvd., Chesapeake police said. Interment will be in

Forest Lawn Cemetery, 8100 Granby St., Norfolk.

Shivers, who served eight years and was a father of three, was shot Thursday night while executing a narcotics search warrant in the 900 block of Redstart Ave. in the Portlock section of Chesapeake. He was trying to enter a home when shots were fired from inside and hit him, police said.

A resident of the home,

28-year-old Ryan David Frederick, is in jail facing charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

A candlelight vigil in honor of Shivers is scheduled for

7 p.m. today at St. Stephen Martyr Catholic Church, 1544 S. Battlefield Blvd., Chesapeake.

An account has been opened at the Bank of Hampton Roads for Shivers, according to Chesapeake police. Donations can be made under Shivers?’ name or under an account named ?“Officer Down.?”

Shivers is the fifth Chesapeake police officer killed in the line of duty since the city was formed in 1963, and the second officer in just over two years.

His death comes after 2007 was declared one of the deadliest in decades nationwide for law enforcement. Seventy officers were fatally shot last year, a 34 percent increase from the year before.

Kevin Morison, a spokesman for the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, said he hopes the 2007 spike is an aberration.

?“But unfortunately, with the death of Detective Shivers and a couple of other deaths we?’ve had so far this year, 2008 is not off to a good start,?’?’ Morison said.

Chesapeake police have released few details about the shooting. Shivers had been working in the Special Investigations Section for 2?½ years, police said.

The suspect in the killing declined an interview Saturday but has said he did not know that the person at his front door that night was a police officer.

Killing an officer is a potential capital offense in Virginia.''
