Free from all prejudice because I hate everyone equally 
A homeless man with a history of mental illness and criminal convictions killed a New Mexico cop — seconds before he was gunned down by a witness, police said Tuesday.
Las Cruces Officer Jonah Hernandez, 35, was responding to a trespassing call at a business around 5 p.m. Sunday when he was pounced on by repeat offender Armando Silva.
When he arrived, Armando Silva immediately attacked him with a large kitchen knife,” Police Chief Jeremy Story said at a press conference.
“For no reason whatsoever, Silva killed Officer Hernandez.”
Silva, 29, then turned his ire on a bystander who had grabbed a firearm from their car after witnessing the “unprovoked attack,” Story said.
The witness fired at least one gunshot, killing Silva.
They then used Hernandez's radio to call for help. The cop was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Hernandez's death marks the first of an officer in the line of duty for the Las Cruces Police Department.
The homeless man's criminal history included a 2015 conviction for kidnapping and aggravated battery with great bodily harm against a household member, which resulted in a prison sentence. Silva violated his probation multiple times and was sent back to prison in the following years, Story said.
Hernandez was a two-year veteran of the Las Cruces police force, having graduated from the academy in June 2022 with the department's largest graduating class.
Police do not plan to recommend charges against the witness, who has not been identified, for gunning down Silva.

Bruh what is with all the ACAB shit. Can someone give me a genuine (non-bias) reason they believe that?
For those who think cops are the problem… According to https://heyjackass.com/ 1180 people have been shot In Chicago to date this year. The cops did 5 of those shootings and have had 4 officers shot this year…. If you go around saying all cops should be killed you're no better than a racist. You're basing your views on stereotypes and the actions of a minority of cops.
This cop didn't deserve what happened to him. I hope his family is coping with his loss.

Oh so according to a propaganda website using incorrect information, you're correct?
Nah, cops across the country kill way more people than people kill cops. By a massive margin. being a cop isn't even one of the top 10 deadliest jobs in america. cops constantly escalate and create bad situations out of thin air and are often responsible for getting themselves killed in most circumstances and often times when they were overstepping boundaries to begin with. Cops are violent thugs that take joy out of causing harm
