Tribute To Cop Killer Created Outside Shooting Site

2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

A makeshift tribute to a man who waited in ambush at a Walgreens in Jersey City, New Jersey to kill police officers is being called “tasteless” by Jersey City officials.

Lawrence Campbell, 27, walked into a Walgreens store and took the gun from a security guard.  He told people in the store to leave and watch television because he was “going to be famous.”  He then ambushed and killed a rookie officer before being shot by other police.

Now, neighborhood residents have set up a shrine to the cop killer outside the store, with messages like “see U on the other side” and “Thug in peace.”

Even the widow of the killer is showing little remorse for the incident, telling News 12 New Jersey that while she was sorry for the family of the slain officer, if her husband was going to be killed he should have killed more police officers before he died.

Jersey City officials condemned the display and tried to say it’s not representative of the neighborhood.

“I firmly believe that the people who made the ignorant comments on the TV and the people who put up a memorial to a cowardly murderer who shot somebody in the head without giving him a chance are not representative of the people who live up there,” Police Director James Shea said.

Officer Melvin Santiago, 23, graduated the police academy in December.  He will be laid to rest on Friday.

  1. All I can say is where is his on the news ? There are bad cops , they dont like any one and are drunk on power , like the ones that attacked the white boy . But those are few , most cops are good and do it to make a differance ! They do not deaserve this dripple ! Where is the hate crime laws for this officers family ? What about accomplice charges ?
