Are we going to have a repeat of Philadelphia? Two officers were shot in Van Buren which is in the state of Missouri, while trying to serve an eviction notice. One officers was airlifted to St. Louis for treatment, the other is ok because he or she was wearing a protective vest. The suspected shooter is barricaded inside the property and we have another stand off situation like we did in Philadelphia. Other details on this police shooting are sparse. This police shooting in Van Buren comes just days after both Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris bashed the police in the Michael Brown shooting anniversary in Ferguson.
