BREAKING NEWS: the person who killed the police officer on Christmas Day was an illegal immigrant!

(KCRA) —

A Newman police officer was shot and killed during a traffic stop Wednesday morning and the suspect is on the run, the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Department said. The officer was identified as 33-year-old Ronil Singh.

Officials said the suspect has been identified, but the Sheriff's Department is not releasing his name at this time. He is currently at large.

While they haven't released his name, Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said the suspect was in the U.S. illegally.

"This suspect, unlike Ron -- who immigrated to this country lawfully and legally to pursue his lifelong career of public safety, public service and being a police officer -- this suspect is in our country illegally," Christianson said. "He doesn't belong here. He's a criminal."

The Sheriff's Department believes that the suspect is somewhere in Stanislaus County.

Officials said Singh called in a traffic stop at Merced Street and Eucalyptus Avenue in Newman. Moments later, he called out “shots fired” over the radio. Multiple officers responded and found that Singh had been shot. He was taken to the hospital, where he later died.

They know how much it will cost to put criminals into protection programs. The cops may not turn up in a deadly situation, if their own health and wellbeing at risk. (they still get paid either way)

Comment by Parrhesia on December 27, 2018 at 4:50pm: Hope he gets more than Kate Steinle's murderer. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate was sentenced to time served for unlawful possession of a firearm, following a jury's decision to reject murder charges against the Mexican national for firing a bullet that killed Steinle as she strolled down a San Francisco pier in 2015. Deported 5 times, just released from jail, but sanctuary city so ICE not notified. Insane.

Comment by Dave churbuck on December 27, 2018 at 4:27pm: I think it would be a good idea if all law enforcement personel in the country could find other

equally paying jobs and quit.

There is no sense in risking your life for the government or the population who has no respect for you

If there no cops the people would have to figure it out on their own as it should be.

You are now totally responsible for your own life, IF you value it, You will protect yourself.

I feel sorry for the family and the child who will never know its father , as I never had one either.
