Lewisburg, WV | Since the Ferguson and New York no convictions for the Officer-involved shootings were handed down by the Grand Jury in late November 2014, Police Officers all across the United States have become targets by the criminal population acting on a golden opportunity they say is their due right.  We, however completely disagree with that statement and today shows the implications of a criminal’s decision to act upon that decision.
