Twenty-Five years ago, on December 9, 1981, Philadelphia Police Officer Daniel Faulkner was brutally and mercilessly murdered by Mumia Abu-Jamal after a routine traffic stop. He shot him in the back and then, once he was wounded and incapacitated, proceeded to shot him numerous times, finally directly in the face.
A cowardly attack to say the least.
The City Troll has a thorough report on the murder and the events that followed it.
William Cook, Mumia Abu Jamal’s brother, was driving the vehicle. He exited the car and shortly thereafter several witnesses saw him attack Officer Faulkner, punching Faulkner in the face.
Several of the eyewitnesses saw Mumia Abu-Jamal running across the street towards the scene with his arm raised. Prior to the police stop of his brother, Jamal was coincidentally sitting in his cab across the street in a parking lot.
From less than two feet away, Jamal fired a shot, which hit Officer Faulkner in the back.
Faulkner was able to remove his revolver, turn and fire one shot at his attacker. The bullet found its mark in Mumia Abu Jamal’s chest.
The wounded Faulkner then fell to the ground.
Jamal stood over the unarmed officer and fired several additional shots at Faulkner’s upper body.
Jamal then took the time to bend down, put the barrel of his gun inches away from Officer Faulkner’s face and fire the final and fatal shot, killing him instantly.
Jamal then staggered several steps and collapsed on the curb.
Just 90 seconds later, police apprehended Jamal, his gun at his side, only a few feet from Officer Faulkner’s body. They then placed him in the back of a police van.
For reasons only the hollywood elite can comprehend, this murderer has become a cause celeb for many of the mindless celebs who like to take up ridiculous causes. St. Denis, France is going to name a street after the cop killer. So the House decided to pass a resolution condemning the the decision of St. Denis, France, for celebrating the cop killer. Worse yet, some of the democrats in the House refused to condemn this action.
Please explain to me WHY anyone would take up a cause to HONOR a cop killer! No, nevermind, I really don’t want to know. There is something seriously wrong with these people.
The City Troll has much more including the names of the democrats who refused to vote yes to condemning the naming of a street for this murderer in the ‘Cop Killer Caucus’. Go check it out. It’s very enlightening.

I can’t imagine what’s taking so long. I REALLY can’t imagine why people want to act like he’s a hero. They are seriously mentally ill.
