cop killer

From The New York Daily News

Seattle cop killer Maurice Clemmons – shot dead Tuesday by a lone patrolman – drove to New York in June to see a Manhattan minister, declaring God told him to make the trip.

He disturbed a June 13 prayer service, trying to rush the stage and yelling, and then approached Bishop Bernard Jordan at his gala 50th birthday banquet the next day.

“He said he was Jesus. I was kind of shocked,” Jordan told the Daily News.

“We said, ‘If you keep talking like that, you will be locked up and put away.’ I’m not a professional in mental health, but you can always tell when someone’s nuts.”

Clemmons, 37, told Jordan he was running from the police, who wanted him for vandalism. He said he had driven for three days to New York because “God called me.”

    There have been thousands of men & women in just this new century who have said or thought they were Jesus Christ…

    Not to mention Waco Texas, Manson, several black men I know… There’s a latin dude with a big ass church and he says he is the messiah, there’s a white dude that runs some kinda Marijuana religion and says he’s Jesus.

    This is a deeply rooted metaphysical secret, I know the answer and there are a few million others who know this secret as well.

    Each one of us is Ausar, find that name and the meaning of it & you find the answer to the secret.

    Its sad that out of this whole article that didn’t even mention race not even ONCE you pull out the race card….get a life. This has nothing to do with “white people”. Its people like you that keep anamosity flowing through races. Its about time you get over it.

    Wow, if someone had intervene those poor four officers and this man may have never met. It appears he was suffering from some mental illness if treated it would have saved five lives.

    This really upsets me. This cat has real mental issues, thats obvious. So many people are hurting for help but no one will give it to them, so they go into these violent, malicious, evil acts to get someones attention. I wonder how many times this guy has asked for help or sowed that he needed it.

    If you are going post a story, at least get your information straight. The cops that were shot were not from SEATTLE. They were shot in the surban of Spanaway which is located in Tacoma 30 minutes south of Seattle. He was eventually followed to Seattle where the Seattle Police shot him after approaching another officer with a gun.

    Prison screwed him up. He was sentence to 106 years in prison for burglary and robbery. NOT EVER ARMED ROBBERY! 106 YEARS! Mike Huckabee did the right thing and granted clemency to this man. He became psycho and did numerous crimes. However, this would never have been started if the judge sentence him accordingly. He was only 16 years old when he did the crime.

    What the penal system should’ve done is send him to 1 year in juvenile detention and then rehabilitate him.

    It seems that people don’t like to discuss about mental problems because it is tabooed. It’s fine to talk about AIDS but not talk about mental health. Some of you make me sick!
