Cumberland County, Kentucky is the latest location for shooting a cop. Floyd Ray Cook is accused of Saturday's shootout that left a cop injured. "He's as dangerous as they come," said Kentucky State Police Trooper Billy Gregory. "I would say anyone that has any contact with him is in danger."
Of course, the first question that comes to mind is, "How does a guy with a reputation like that get his hands on a gun in the first place? FOX NEWS reports: "He was convicted of a series of crimes including rape, burglary, robbery, assault and riot in Kentucky in the 1970s and 1980s, according to state corrections department records. Cook was convicted of raping a 19-year-old in Marion County in 1971, records showed. He was required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. Cook was indicted in July on charges of first-degree trafficking in methamphetamine and tampering with physical evidence, according to Hardin County court records. He was scheduled for arraignment in August but did not appear. A warrant was issued for his arrest and remains outstanding."
I thought it was against the law for guys like that to have a gun. Maybe they should write another law making it impossible for good citizens to own a gun so that bad guys like this one will be the only ones able to get guns?
More importantly, when will this country make it an automatic life sentence for shooting at a cop?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
