God Bless This Heroic Cop

An armed double murderer who had just killed his wife and best friend attempts to commit suicide by cop, rushing a rookie officer shouting “Shoot me, shoot me!”

But New Richmond officer Jesse Kidder — a former Marine who later said “I wanted to be absolutely sure before I used deadly force” — didn’t shoot. The killer was captured nonviolently.

Culture of Death Combox cowards ask, “When do we get to kill?”  Heroes ask, “When do I have to kill?”
