Piersonlodd.540994801a3e9Did you hear about the cop shooting?No, I’m not referring to the one in Ferguson, Missouri.  Of course you heard about that.  I’m referring to the fatal shooting of 32-year-old Ofc. Daryl Pierson of the Rochester, NY Police Department at approximately 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 3.  Pierson, an Afghanistan vet and father of two, was the first RPD officer killed on the job since 1959.
You should be forgiven if you didn’t know about it.  After all, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the New York Times didn’t give the event 24-7 wall-to-wall saturation coverage.Just like the shooting in Ferguson, there was a racial disparity between the cop and the suspect.  Unlike Ferguson, however, the decedent was white, and the perpetrator, allegedly one Thomas Johnson III, is black.  News reports indicate that the alleged shooter has an extensive criminal history in two states and was paroled for a second time (after violating the terms of his first parole) less than one month before the shooting.

There were no reports of angry RPD officers looting, rioting, or committing arson in black neighborhoods.  There were no reports of mobs of RPD officers standing in front of black citizens with their hands in the air shouting, “Police, don’t shoot!”  There are no known videos of Ofc. Pierson robbing material for blunts from a convenience store prior to his death.

The Department of Justice did not dispatch 40 FBI agents to Rochester to investigate the alleged shooter’s background.  Neither Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson has arrived in Rochester yet.  Attorney General Eric Holder has not personally flown into Rochester to meet the victim’s family and announce a Department of Justice investigation into the incident.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo has not come to Rochester to publicly demand a “vigorous prosecution” of the suspect.  New York State Police have not been dispatched to quell the nonexistent cop riots.  The New York State National Guard has not been called out to quell the nonexistent riots, either.

President Obama has yet to comment on the incident, but any day now he might hold a press conference and tell the White House Press corps that if he had a son, his son would look like Thomas Johnson.

And any day now, pigs will sprout wings and fly.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The Rochester Police Department has identified the officer shot and killed in the line of duty Wednesday night as Daryl Pierson. 

Thomas Johnson III, 38, was arraigned Thursday evening on eight counts, including aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder, three counts of assault, and three weapons counts, according to the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office.

Police and emergency crews rushed to the area of Hudson Avenue and Warsaw Street shortly before 9:30 p.m., where according to Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli, Johnson shot Pierson following a foot pursuit. Ciminelli said Pierson was fatally wounded and never had a chance to fire his weapon.

At a news conference Thursday, Ciminelli said Pierson leaves behind a wife and two children, ages 4 and 3-months-old. Pierson was 32 years old.

Pierson was hired by the Rochester Police Department in 2006 and assigned to the tactical unit. He received numerous departmental awards, including the Officer of the Month in Sept. 2010, and was also a member of the U.S. Army National Guard.

“Words cannot express the sadness and grief we all feel at the loss of our brother, Officer Daryl Pierson,” Ciminelli said. “Daryl made the ultimate sacrifice, by courageously giving his life protecting the city of Rochester. During this difficult time, I know the Rochester community will join together with us to honor our fallen comrade and to support his family.”

Ciminelli said Pierson’s partner, Officer Michael DiPaola, returned fire and shot Johnson, who is in the hospital and in custody. DiPaola was turning the car around while Pierson gave chase.

Police said that Johnson had an outstanding parole warrant.

According to the Department of Corrections, Johnson is a prison parolee who was released Aug. 11. The Salvation Army stated Johnson spent the first week of his release at its facility near the Liberty Pole downtown, but stopped showing up around Aug. 15.

“To the people who want to disrupt this city, it’s unrealistic for any of us to believe we can stop you from making a tragic decision, to pull the trigger. However, I promise you, that if you decide to pull that trigger, you will be held accountable. This administration will not sit by and idly watch you wreak havoc on our city,” said Mayor Lovely Warren, D-Rochester.

An innocent bystander, Jamal Boller, was also wounded, but was released Thursday afternoon from the hospital.
