Along with cop-hating, racist riots in Milwaukee last night, another tragedy unfolded. This time in Georgia. Patrol Officer Tim Smith responded to a suspicious person call at approximately 9:30 pm last night. He got out of his patrol car and the cop-killer shot him. He then fled the scene and is still on the loose. The officer was killed unfortunately.[1]

Smith was in his early 30s, but not much more is known at this time. The suspect remains unidentified and an investigation is on-going. The man had a gun and was near some residences making people uncomfortable, according to the GBI.

For doing his job and protecting others, this officer gave his life. Anymore, they never know if the call they go out on will be their last.

From TheBlaze:

EASTMAN, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a police officer in a small, central Georgia city has been shot and killed by a suspect who remains on the loose.

Special agent Scott Whitley of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations tells The Associated Press that Eastman Patrol Officer Tim Smith was fatally shot about 9:30 p.m. Saturday in a residential area of the city located about 60 miles southeast of Macon.

Whitley says Smith was responding to a suspicious person call when he encountered the suspect, exited his patrol car and was shot. The suspect fled the scene.

Smith had a conversation with the alleged gunman while standing outside of his patrol vehicle. The man then shot Smith, according to the GBI.

Agent Whitley says Smith called in his injuries and wasn’t wearing a body camera. The GBI has brought in an extra 20 people from nearby agencies to work this case including Perry and Metter. They do not have a description of the shooter, but they say they’ve worked several leads overnight. I certainly hope those leads are bearing fruit. Hopefully someone will come forward, because I guarantee someone knows about this and could help these officers.

According to Smith’s Facebook page, he is a father of two children. My prayers are with his wife, children and fellow officers. I hope they catch the dirt bag that did this and justice is done. Too many officers are dying and too much violence and hate is growing out there. How many good officers have to be cut down before we go after these radicals for real? How many more widows and children have to hear the news that their loved one won’t be coming home? #BlueLivesMatter.
