DENVER — A recent deadly shooting of an innocent man by Denver cops has sparked a disturbing reaction: An unknown group has passed out fliers promising hefty rewards for a police officer’s life.
The fliers, placed under car windshields and discovered Tuesday morning, offer $5,000 for a “crooked cop’s life” and $10,000 for a badge. They’re signed by a group called “N.E.F.F.” but are missing a phone number.
Pictured on the handouts is 63-year-old Frank Lobato (search), a disabled man shot and killed July 11 by police officer Ranjan Ford Jr. (search) The officer, who was responding to a domestic violence call, mistook a soda can in Lobato’s hand for a gun.
Denver police are being watched closely these days because of 11 fatal shootings in 16 months — including that of a developmentally disabled 15-year-old boy, Paul Childs, whose face is also on the fliers along with Lobato’s.
The Denver Police Department (search) is taking the threats very seriously, and has put patrol officers on alert. The perpetrator faces a felony charge: criminal solicitation for murder.

Seriously. What is the difference between this and Iraqi and Palestinian freedom fighters. If these people believe that the police are unjustifiably killing citizens, isn't the same thing the lefties are defending in the ME?

No. Police aren't elected officials. In most cities that I know of, the police chief isn't an elected official. If a police force is corrupt, and elected officials aren't stopping the issue...it can be viewed as a police state where the will of the people no longer exists and the community is ruled by gun toting thugs with a license to kill.
