This is just sad and ridiculous. For some stolen gas, they killed an officer. I hope they get a lot of time to sit in jail and ask themselves if it was worth it.:banghead:

ETA - That should be deputy's, not deputies. I hate when I misspell stuff!

GRRRRRR and they were not hurt, so sad. RIP Deputy Sean Pursifull and King!

May Deputy Pursifill and his beloved partner, King rest in peace. Prayers for this officers family as well.

Assault of a service animal? More like murder of service animal. They are cop killers x 2.

The teenager who pleaded guilty in the murder of a Bell County sheriff's deputy learned his fate Monday afternoon.

A judge sentenced David Poppiti to 25 years in prison. Police say Poppiti rammed deputy Sean Pursifull's cruiser during a chase, killing him and his police dog...

The other teenager riding with Poppiti during the January 2008 police chase testified during Poppiti's May trial that he tried to stop Poppiti during the chase. Juvenile court officials say his case has been resolved and he has served his sentence.
