Police officer fatally shot while trying to arrest armed robbery suspect

A 37-year-old Milwaukee Police Officer with four years of service was shot and killed Tuesday morning when trying to arrest the suspect of an armed robbery, police say.
The suspect was 19-year-old Terrell I. Thompson, while the officer was Peter Jerving, police confirm. Last year, Officer Jerving received an MPD life-saving award for heroically providing life-saving care to a shooting victim.
Police say Thompson shot the officer while in a struggle with another officer. Police say the officer who was shot fired back. During the exchange, Thompson was also shot. Police say it's unclear whether Thompson died of a self-inflicted gunshot or from shots fired by the officer.

He fully understood that blacks can never function in a civil society, and had no intention to let them roam free or to become citizens. After he was killed congress passed the fourteenth amendment as punishment to the South for killing Lincoln. Had he lived, we would not be where we are today.

My dad survived and I was blessed to have him until my late fifties. My heart hurts for his family. Believe me, take your hatred and disdain and direct it at the politicians who are playing all of us. I am 63 years old and have seen alot. What this country needs is a revamped justice system that dispenses true justice for all people. We also need either a death penalty or true life without parole period.
