His name was Tamarris Bohannon. He was 29 years old when killed in the line of duty in St. Louis. He leaves behind a wife and three children.
By all accounts he was a good man and good cop
ST. LOUIS – The family of the St. Louis police officer who was shot and killed wants to make sure he is remembered for his commitment to his community – and more importantly, his family.
“Family was priority. That was on top of his list. It was very important,” Alfred Bohannon said.
Bohannon’s son, Tamarris, was shot Saturday while responding to a call in the Tower Grove South neighborhood.
His family is still in shock over the tragedy.
“It’s been hard. Very difficult. Trying to process, to understand, the loss of a son,” Alfred Bohannon said.
Tamarris Bohannon, 29, graduated from Oakville High School. He married his high school sweetheart and was the father of three children.
You probably don’t know his name because he was unimportant to the media. He was less important to Black Lives Matter and Antifa.
The New Orleans Saints don’t give a damn about him and neither does the NFL.
On the other hand, they care very much about Jacob Blake. They love Jacob Blake. They worship Jacob Blake.
Jacob Blake had a criminal history and an outstanding warrant. From the AP
Online court records indicate Kenosha County prosecutors charged Blake on July 6 with third-degree sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse. An arrest warrant was issued for Blake the following day.
Also:
Jacob Blake, 24, of Racine, was charged Monday in Racine County Circuit Court with one felony count of resisting arrest causing a soft tissue injury to a police officer and one misdemeanor count each of carrying a concealed weapon, carrying a firearm while intoxicated, endangering safety-use of a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct. If convicted, he will face up to 8-1/2 years in prison and/or up to $50,000 in fines.
He had an outstanding warrant for sexual assault. This is that report:
Police were summoned to the girlfriend’s residence and tried to apprehend Blake. He once again failed to comply with a proper police order. He fought with the officers and was tasered twice with no effect. Armed with a knife, he then attempted to enter a car having three of his children in it. He was told to drop the knife. He did not.
Now- if you’re the police officer, what do you do? You have a split second to make a decision. Blake might have been going into his car to harm one or more of his kids or hold them hostage.
You don’t know.
I’ve seen the argument “Why so many bullets?” yet absolutely no one can tell me exactly how to determine how many are the proper number.
Perhaps you ask him.
Too late, the kids are dead.
Had that happened one could only imagine the outrage.
You don’t know.
What we do know is that Blake was a criminal.
Twitter meted out its own version of justice, suspending the aunt of Blake’s victim.
Twitter suspended the account of the aunt of the former girlfriend who Jacob Blake raped (and whose apartment he'd entered illegally before being shot by police) for posting this. Two black lives that don't matter one bit to @jack. pic.twitter.com/oIbT6jnPAy

The New Orleans Saints decided to honor Blake in sort of a lifetime achievement award.
The NFL will allow it. This is the same NFL that allowed Colin Kaepernick to wear “Cops are pigs” socks.
This is the same NFL that refused to allow the Dallas Cowboys to wear helmet stickers in honor of five slain Dallas policemen.
By the way- those slain officers? Their names were Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa.
You would never learn that from the New Orleans Saints or the NFL.
You have to be a criminal to be be honored.
Instead of glorifying this behavior, why doesn’t the NFL sponsor messages pleading with people to simply comply with the police?
That’s too easy I imagine. Plus it’s not powerful enough virtue signalling.
As far as I am concerned, the NFL, along with the China Basketball Association and MLB can all go to hell.

DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
blm has been explicit, they don’t give a rat’s ass about any black people EXCEPT when one is killed (or, in Jacob Blake’s case) injured by police.
Hopefully we’ve all seen the videos proving that President Trump is correct: police have only a second or two to ACT in a situation where non-compliance leads to an escape back to one’s car or home.
Blake was already armed with a knife.
Had he killed his three (of eight) children after taking off with them in the car, no doubt we wouldn’t have heard of their names, either.
Ironically, blm claims to care about making sure there are consequences for police killing blacks.
BUT blm won’t wait for LEGAL consequences.
They make up mob rule consequences as they go along instead.
Somehow blacks getting new shoes or tvs for free by looting an innocent 3rd party is a proper consequence?
How many times had Bohannon been arrested? How long was his rap sheet?
How many riots did he take part in? How many stores did he loot?
If you cannot answer these questions, then Bohannon’s life did not matter.
Only the lives of felons matter.
That is who BLM is. That is what they represent. Burning, Looting, and Murder.
The dirtbag justifiably shot in Kenosha deserved to be shot. The nfl along with other sjw sports teams are persona non grata.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a hero. His calmness under pressure was remarkable. The dirtbags he shot also deserved to be shot as well. More of these antifa goons should also finds themselves in a similar situation.
Here is hoping the NEW ORLEANS SAINTS never make it to the super Bowl to honor a Crinimal just like they did with George Floyd and screw anyone who mas anything to do with BLM and Antifa
NFL = numbskulls, felons and losers
Be a shame if Brees has a concussion.
Again, none of this has anything to do with race. Blake was shot because he made himself a threat. PERIOD.
No, Tamarris Bohannon is a black life that DOESN’T matter. Not to the left, because they can’t exploit it. Just like Kate Steinle or the thousands killed by illegal immigrants or the blacks killed by blacks. Only lives that push the liberal agenda matter.
@Nan G:
Oh, we’d have heard about them… and that the police did nothing to protect them because they were BLACK.
