Twice Deported, ‘Undocumented’ Worker Kills Houston Police Officer
Early Sunday morning in Houston, Texas, police officer Kevin Will was working a traffic stop on the side of the highway when a drunk driver struck and killed him. Officer Will leaves behind a pregnant wife and two children.
HPD Chief Charles McClelland says that Kevin Will also died a hero. Just seconds before he was struck and killed by Johoan Rodriguez’s car, Officer Will pushed another man out of the way.
The tragedy of Officer Kevin Will’s death is compounded by the fact that his killer, Johoan Rodriguez is an illegal immigrant who had twice been deported, only to find his way back into the country. According to the KTRH report, Will is also the sixth consecutive HPD officer to be shot or killed in the line of duty by an illegal immigrant. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/twice-d ... e-officer/
Janet Napalitano needs to pull the vibrator out of her butt and do her job in protecting our borders...one of those six officers was a good friend of mine.... This "catch and release" shit ain't working....
Old Pudfark sez: "Brand them, deport them...if they come back? Execute them, every fucking one of them."
Same thing here Pudfark. 2 Phoenix P.D. officers killed in 18 months, both were by illegals and they ran to Mexico. Mexico knows where they are but will not extradite because Arizona has the death penalty. You'll never see justice for those officers unless they cross over and get caught on our soil. It sucks. Napolitano ran AZ into the ground financially and she's drinking the party kool-aid when she says there's no problems on the border.
Since the establishment of the Houston Police Department, 111 officers have died in the line of duty. The following list also contains officers from the Houston Airport Police Department and the Houston City Marshal's Office, which were merged into HPD.
