A police officer and a sheriff’s deputy were shot and killed in an upstate New York neighborhood Sunday night after exchanging gunfire with a suspect, who was also killed.
The shooting occurred just after 8 p.m. in Liverpool, about 6 miles north of Syracuse, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/syracuse-new-york-fatal-shooting-police-officers-661e179c632393f3f9f741434abea2f0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Earlier in the night, two Syracuse Police Department officers attempted to pull over a suspicious vehicle, which fled the scene, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2024/04/15/us-news/syracuse-cop-and-onondaga-sheriffs-deputy-shot-and-killed-in-salina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. The officers tracked the license plate to a home in Liverpool. More Syracuse officers arrived, along with Onondaga County sheriff’s deputies, and found what appeared to be firearms inside the car. Law enforcement then heard what sounded like someone “manipulating a firearm” inside the home, Syracuse Police Chief Joseph Cecile said in an early morning <a href="https://www.localsyr.com/news/local-news/two-law-enforcement-officers-shot-in-liverpool/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press conference</a>.
“Moments later there was an exchange of gunfire between at least one suspect and the officers and the deputies,” Cecile added.
One of the two Syracuse police officers who first attempted to pull over the vehicle was struck and killed during the gunfire, along with a sheriff’s deputy. Both were rushed to a nearby hospital where they were pronounced dead. The suspect was also taken to the hospital, where he was also pronounced dead.
“We lost two heroes tonight,” Cecile said at the press conference. “Two men who answered the call to duty to put on the badge to protect the community, protect and serve. We lost two of them tonight.”
Photos published by the Post show dozens of police and sheriff’s department officials lined up along the streets outside the hospital where the officer and sheriff’s deputy were taken, saluting as law enforcement vehicles passed.
Onondaga County Sheriff Toby Shelley called it a “sad day for law enforcement,” while Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh <a href="https://apnews.com/article/syracuse-new-york-fatal-shooting-police-officers-661e179c632393f3f9f741434abea2f0">said</a> it was a “dark day for Syracuse.”

“This is our worst nightmare come true,” Walsh added, according to the Post. “And our thoughts right now are with the families of those two officers — those two heroes.”
Neither the fallen officer nor the deputy have been named, but Cecile said the officer had been on the job for about three years and was “very active, very proactive.”
Shelley said the deceased deputy was a “seasoned” law enforcement officer and was “very well-liked in his community.”
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, <a href="https://twitter.com/GovKathyHochul/status/1779846445463441543">posted</a> on X that she was “horrified by the senseless killing” of the officer and the deputy.
“My prayers are with their families, loved ones, and their colleagues,” she wrote. “New York will never forget their heroism and service.”

A suspect is in custody after allegedly ramming an 18-wheel semi-truck into a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/texas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Texas</a> Department of Public Safety building in Brenham, according to law enforcement.
The Texas Tribune <a href="https://www.texastribune.org/2024/04/12/texas-dps-semi-crash-brenham/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the driver stole the truck and drove it into the building after he was denied a commercial driver&#8217;s license this week.
&#8220;I have been briefed and this incident was intentional and done by the suspect who was denied a CDL yesterday,&#8221; said Montgomery County Judge Mark Keough. &#8220;He returned today with intent to harm. Continued prayers for the DPS staff, troopers and civilians affected.&#8221;
Washington County Sheriff Otto Hanak said, &#8220;We believe this was a criminal act.&#8221;

Texas law enforcement officials said that the Texas Rangers were involved in the investigation and that there was no further threat to the community.

&#8220;DPS reports that no staff suffered serious injury; one staffer had been trapped for a period of time inside the office,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;According to law enforcement, this appears to be an intentional, criminal act and the Texas Rangers will be leading the investigation. This deliberate, heinous act is a reminder of the dangerous work done by our law enforcement and licensing agencies that work to provide public safety and services.

18-Wheeler Smashes Into Texas Government Building In Likely ‘Criminal Act,’ Multiple People Injured: Police

Controversial left-wing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Biden</a> judicial nominee Adeel Mangi is facing new obstacles to becoming confirmed after a new report this week revealed that he served on the board of a legal organization that defended notorious cop killers.
The Free Beacon <a href="https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/embattled-biden-judicial-nominee-adeel-mangi-served-on-legal-aid-society-board-as-it-defended-notorious-cop-killers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Mangi served on the board at the Legal Aid Society, which says its board of directors &#8220;provide crucial guidance that strengthens&#8221; it&#8217;s legal work.
Mangi&#8217;s nomination is in serious peril as multiple Democrat senators have signaled that they will not vote for him due to accusations that he faces, including anti-Semitism, having connections to an organization that featured pro-terrorist speakers, and showing an “anti-victim and anti-police” bias in his legal work.
Mangi served on the Legal Aid Society’s board from December 2016 until November 2021, the report said. During that time, the group represented a Black Liberation Army duo who murdered a pair of New York City police officers in 1971.
The group secured parole for one of the killers while keeping the other killer from having his parole revoked, the report said.
Herman Bell and Jalil Muntaqim murdered two New York City police officers in May 1971 after baiting them into a trap with a fake 911 call. Several months later, they murdered a San Francisco police officer inside a police station.
Republican senators have highlighted activity that occurred at the Center for Security, Race, and Rights at Rutgers Law School while Mangi served on the group’s advisory board from 2019 to 2023. They <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-renominates-attorney-for-federal-judge-after-he-was-slammed-for-advising-group-that-featured-grotesque-anti-semitic-activism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">found</a> that the center co-sponsored a symposium on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 that featured a panelist who pled guilty to providing support for Islamic jihadists and another panelist who publicly called for an intifada in the U.S.

Multiple law enforcement groups have come out in opposition to Mangi, saying that his work shows strong bias against law enforcement and the victims of crime.

Former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> slammed President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Biden</a> this week for being too weak to support law enforcement because his base won&#8217;t allow him to.
Trump made the remarks after attending the wake of slain 31-year-old New York City Police Department officer Jonathan Diller, who was allegedly murdered by 34-year-old Guy Rivera.
During a traffic stop, as Diller attempted to get Rivera to vacate the car, Rivera allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot Diller in the stomach. Rivera had 21 prior arrests and was released from prison in 2021 after serving five years for criminal possession of a controlled substance.
&#8220;I think that politically he can’t support the police. I think he’s also making a mistake, but I think politically, his base won’t let him support the police,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And I support the police, I would say at the highest level of any president by far, maybe double or triple. And they knew that. That’s why when I walked into that funeral parlor, it was — it was like love. It was just — they want to shy away from it. They didn’t even call the family. They could have called. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know even a call would be, perhaps — I’m not sure they would take his call.&#8221;
Trump applauded everyone who turned out to show support for Diller and said that he enjoyed meeting Diller&#8217;s wife and grandmother.
&#8220;When I was leaving, we’re driving down the road and it felt like we were driving for miles and there were men and women in blue,” he said. “They were going for such a period, I said, ‘That’s a lot of people.’ It was a long blue line.”

Trump Rips Biden For Being Too Weak To Stand Up For Police

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alabama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alabama</a> woman who admitted that she lied about being kidnapped last year was sentenced by a judge this week to probation and to pay restitution.
Carlee Russell, 26, was charged last summer with two misdemeanors — falsely reporting to law enforcement authorities and falsely reporting an incident — and was subsequently found guilty of both counts.
Russell had told law enforcement officials that she had been kidnapped after she went missing for two days. She later <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/carlee-russell-admits-her-entire-kidnapping-story-was-a-hoax" target="_blank" rel="noopener">admitted</a> to making up the entire incident.
Hoover Municipal Judge Brad Bishop recommended last fall that Russell pay $18,000 in restitution and spend a year in prison.
Russell&#8217;s team appealed the ruling in an attempt to get her out of having to spend time in jail, ABC News reported. Their effort was successful as Russell was sentenced to pay $17,974.88 restitution to the city of Hoover and 12 months of supervised probation, community service, and evidence of continued mental health counseling, the report added.
The Alabama Attorney General&#8217;s Office said that they were &#8220;disappointed, but not surprised&#8221; that Russell avoided going to jail, but noted that changes would soon be happening in the state that would prevent someone from getting off the hook in the future.
&#8220;Current law provides a weak penalty for false reporting and fails to account for situations, like Ms. Russell&#8217;s, that result in a significant law enforcement response,&#8221; said Katherine Robertson, chief counsel for the Alabama attorney general. &#8220;Fortunately, the Governor will soon receive our legislation to increase penalties for false reporting when an imminent threat is alleged and will expand the amount of restitution that can be sought. The next time law enforcement resources are needlessly wasted in this manner, the offender will be forever labeled a felon.&#8221;
Russell attorney Emory Anthony acknowledged in a statement last year that his client had lied about the entire incident.
“There was no kidnapping on Thursday July 13,” the statement said. “My client did not see a baby on the side on the road.”

“My client apologizes for her actions to this community, the volunteers who were searching for her, to the Hoover Police Department and other agencies as well, as to her friends and family,” the statement continued. “We ask for your prayers for Carlee, as she addresses her issues and attempts to move forward, understanding that she made a mistake in this matter. Carlee again asks for your forgiveness and prayers.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/missouri" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Missouri</a> Attorney General Andrew Bailey called for a 15-year-old girl to be charged as an adult after video of her went viral this week showing her viciously beating another girl.
The St. Louis County Police Department reportedly got a call about a fight around 2:30 p.m. on Friday and when they arrived on scene, they discovered the victim with a severe head injury. The victim was transferred to a nearby hospital where she <a href="https://www.firstalert4.com/2024/03/12/st-louis-county-police-investigating-whether-bomb-threat-hazelwood-east-is-connected-viral-fight-video/">remains</a> in critical condition, according to her mother.
&#8220;This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere,&#8221; said Attorney General Andrew Bailey. &#8220;I am praying for the victim. The criminal should be charged and tried as an adult. If the victim dies, that offense should rise to a homicide.&#8221;
The <a href="https://twitter.com/RadioGenoa/status/1766782359548940577" target="_blank" rel="noopener">footage</a> shows a black girl, who appears to have a significant size advantage, throw a white girl on the ground and start to viciously beat in the victim’s face with her fist.
The victim tries to get away from the attacker, but the attacker grabs her on the ground and throws her on her back against the pavement. At that point, the attacker grabs the girl’s shoulders and repeatedly slams her head into the pavement, causing life threatening injuries, as other individuals stand around and watch and record the attack with their cell phones.
A GoFundMe <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/kaylee-on-her-road-to-recovery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">page</a> that was set up for the victim by a local family friend on Tuesday afternoon said that the victim had a fractured skull, frontal lobe damage, and major brain bleeding. The organizer didn&#8217;t immediately respond to a Daily Wire inquiry.
The Hazelwood School District — which has <a href="https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1766939571764277631" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in recent years — released a statement about the attack.

“We look forward to continuing to partner with our community for the sake of our children,” the statement continued. “Please be kind and respectful of the families involved during this difficult time and pledge to help work toward the betterment of our entire community.”

Police Arrest Teen After Video Shows Horrifying Attack

A far-Left protester was thrown to the ground after he confronted Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/joe-manchin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joe Manchin</a> (D-WV) during an event on Friday and called the senator a &#8220;sick f***.&#8221;
The incident happened at a Harvard Institute of Politics event Friday morning just minutes after multiple leftists interrupted a talk that Manchin was giving at the Harvard Kennedy School because of his support for natural gas pipelines.
&#8220;Joe Manchin, you sold our futures and you&#8217;ve gotten rich doing it,&#8221; the protester claimed. &#8220;You sick f***. How dare you.&#8221;
Manchin immediately got up in the protester&#8217;s face, at which point one of his aides got between the two men. The aide then literally threw the protester out of the room.
The protester was apparently from a group called Climate Defiance, which posted on X: “We just called Joe Manchin a sick f***. We humiliated him in front of a herd of Harvard elites. He squared up. We held firm. Barbaric murderer, hideous fiend, he torches humanity and laughs.&#8221;
Manchin then addressed the other protesters and offered to sit down and talk with them, but they refused and declared they were not going anywhere.

The alleged crimes are just the latest examples of high-profile offenses involving illegal aliens since President Joe Biden took office. Under the Biden administration, more than 7.2 million illegal aliens — a number <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/illegal-immigrants-biden-admin-amount-greater-population-36-states" target="_blank" rel="noopener">greater than</a> the population of 36 U.S. states — have entered the U.S. The border crisis has become the <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4422273-immigration-overtakes-inflation-top-voter-concern-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">top</a> issue for voters heading into this fall’s general election, an expected rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics/criminal-noncitizen-statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a> a massive increase in the number of criminal illegal aliens encountered at the U.S. border under Biden’s presidency.

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police announced Friday that a new police Telephone Reporting Unit will respond to calls that &#8220;do not require an in-person response by officers.&#8221;
Officers will still respond to &#8220;in progress&#8221; emergency calls &#8220;where a suspect may be on scene, any crime where a person may need medical aid, any domestic dispute, calls with evidence, or where the Mobile Crime Unit will be requested to process a scene,&#8221; the police bureau <a href="https://pittsburghpa.gov/press-releases/press-releases/6386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a press release.
However, this means that calls for things like burglary alarms, theft, criminal mischief, and harassment will be handled by the call center or online reporting methods, <a href="https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/pittsburgh-bureau-police-confirms-major-changes-11-investigates-first-told-you-about/JLZ2XPCHOJC5RCAPQUUDLL2QDQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to an investigation by WPXI.
The Telephone Reporting Unit will operate from 7 to 3 a.m. seven days a week.
Chief Larry Scirotto said he wants to slash the police bureau&#8217;s calls from about 200,000 calls a year down to about 50,000.
Pittsburgh&#8217;s police bureau also said that officers will stop working eight-hour workdays and instead work four 10-hour shifts each week so that they will have three consecutive days off.
That change is meant to &#8220;enhance officer wellness.&#8221;

&#8220;An additional day away from work each week to focus on family, friends, or outside pursuits is key to creating a healthy workforce and contributes to the Bureau&#8217;s goal of not only recruiting new officers, but retaining them for the long haul, &#8221; Chief Scirotto said.
Both policies took effect on Monday.
Another potential plan <a href="https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/pittsburgh-bureau-police-confirms-major-changes-11-investigates-first-told-you-about/JLZ2XPCHOJC5RCAPQUUDLL2QDQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">involves</a> having the Pittsburgh Parking Authority handle all parking complaints, which Scirotto said is the top complaint the police bureau receives.
“That allows our officers to be engaged in community in a way, now they’re at the YMCA instead of sitting on the 10th Street bypass with a bike complaint,” Scirotto said.
The new policies have been met with concern from residents, the police union, and members of the city council.
“When it comes to harassment and things of this nature you better have a police officer there. That’s what the public expects. That’s what I expect out of our city,” <a href="https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/pittsburgh-bureau-police-confirms-major-changes-11-investigates-first-told-you-about/JLZ2XPCHOJC5RCAPQUUDLL2QDQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Councilman Anthony Coghill.
The police union president blamed an understaffed police bureau.
“The staffing plan designed by police command is a direct response to a seriously understaffed police department,&#8221; Bob Swartzwelder, president of Pittsburgh&#8217;s Fraternal Order of Police union <a href="https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/pittsburgh-bureau-police-confirms-major-changes-11-investigates-first-told-you-about/JLZ2XPCHOJC5RCAPQUUDLL2QDQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement.
&#8220;Only time will tell if the plan works or the Chief will need to pivot and modify his plan quickly. The FOP will be watching carefully for any contract violations that develop especially when non-emergency events come up such as St. Patrick’s Day, parades, large concerts, July 4th etc. In short, the FOP believes that the police department is seriously over-committed and under-resourced,” the head of the city&#8217;s police union added.

An investigation has been launched after an explosive device was set off early Saturday morning outside the office of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alabama" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alabama</a> Republican Attorney General Steve Marshall.
In a statement on Monday, Marshall said that there were no injuries from the explosion and that Alabama authorities would be further investigating the incident. No possible motives have been given and no suspects have been identified by state authorities. 
“In the early hours of Saturday, February 24, an explosive device was detonated outside of the Alabama Attorney General’s Office building in Montgomery,” Marshall <a href="https://www.alabamaag.gov/attorney-general-marshall-issues-statement-after-explosive-device-detonated-outside-office-over-the-weekend/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. “Thankfully, no staff or personnel were injured by the explosion. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency will be leading the investigation, and we are urging anyone with information to contact them immediately.”
The explosion <a href="https://www.al.com/news/2024/02/explosive-device-detonates-outside-alabama-attorney-general-steve-marshalls-office.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> took place at the intersection of Washington Avenue and South Bainbridge Street in Montgomery. and followed reports of a suspicious package being at the scene. 
“It was determined that the suspicious package was an explosive device that was detonated in the early morning hours of Saturday, Feb. 24,” the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/26/us/alabama-attorney-general-explosive.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “Nothing further is available as the investigation remains ongoing.”
The Alabama Bureau of Investigation was informed of the incident around 8:19 a.m. on Saturday morning, according to Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Sgt. Jeremy Burkett. Burkett said that there was no property damage from the detonation.

The incident comes after Alabama has been at the center of national attention after its <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alabama-supreme-court-says-couple-can-continue-wrongful-death-lawsuit-over-destruction-of-frozen-embryos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Supreme Court ruled</a> in an 8-1 decision that a fertility clinic could be sued for wrongful death by three couples after several embryos had been accidently destroyed. The court ruled that the embryos should be recognized and protected as unborn children. 
The justices rooted their decision in the clause of Alabama’s Constitution that says that the public policy of the state is to uphold the sanctity of unborn life. 
“Here, the text of the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act is sweeping and unqualified. It applies to all children, born and unborn, without limitation,” wrote Justice Jay Mitchell in the majority decision. “It is not the role of this Court to craft a new limitation based on our own view of what is or is not wise public policy.”

Governor Jeff Landry (R-LA) declared a state of emergency in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/louisiana" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louisiana</a> on Friday over a shortage of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">law enforcement</a> officers in the state.
Landry made the declaration in an <a href="https://gov.louisiana.gov/assets/ExecutiveOrders/2024/JML-Executive-Order-22.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">executive order</a> that comes just days before the legislature will meet for a special session on crime, which the governor said will focus on strengthening the criminal justice system and repealing soft-on-crime policies. According to the Louisiana Sheriffs Association, there is a shortage of 1,800 deputies as of July 2023.
“As a former police officer and sheriff’s deputy, I understand the vital role our law enforcement officers play in our communities. Currently, our state is facing a shortage of officers, resulting in increased crime and less public safety. Today’s executive order, and the upcoming crime special session, will ensure our law enforcement officers are supported and we can begin to bring law and order back to our state,” Landry <a href="https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/4423" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
Landry’s order comes as cities around the country have <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-than-2500-nypd-cops-have-quit-this-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener">struggled to retain</a> police officers and recruit amid increasing crime and a push by some activists to “Defund the Police.” Some entities are <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/denver-considers-allowing-non-citizens-to-be-cops-firefighters" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even considering</a> letting non-citizens join the ranks of the police.
The executive order says that the “national police officer shortage has affected Louisiana with departments experiencing record-low employment and an increase in police officer response times resulting in an increased threat to the lives, property, and safety of persons within the state of Louisiana.”
The Louisiana Sheriff&#8217;s Association praised the executive order, saying that it highlighted “the importance of the law enforcement profession and our state’s desperate need to fill valuable front line deputy positions.”
During the special session, Landry <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24414844/13-jml-2024-call-and-convene-legislature-into-extraordinary-session.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wants</a> the legislature to look at restricting parole eligibility, expanding the criteria to revoke parole and probation, increasing penalties for carjackings, upgrading illegal use of weapons to the violent crime category, granting immunity under certain conditions to peace officers, and creating a criminal offense for the marketing of fentanyl to minors.

“This special session begins to fulfill the campaign promises we made to the people of Louisiana to make our State Safe Again. No one, regardless of their neighborhood or zip code, should feel unsafe. We all want safer communities,” Landry <a href="https://gov.louisiana.gov/index.cfm/newsroom/detail/4416" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. “We will defend and uplift our law enforcement officials and deliver true justice to crime victims who have been overlooked for far too long.”
New Orleans, whose police force Landry <a href="https://www.police1.com/nola/la-governor-slams-nopd-consent-decree-announces-return-of-state-police-troop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously said</a> was in “shambles,” consistently ranks as one of the most violent cities in America. Landry took office in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republican-jeff-landry-elected-louisiana-governor-by-huge-margin-flips-state-red" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January</a> after his election in October flipped control of the governor&#8217;s mansion in after promising to crack down on crime in the state.
