Police Officer Matthew Baxter was shot and killed while responding to reports of three suspicious people in the area of Palmway Street and Cypress Street.

He and the patrol sergeant were speaking to the men when a fourth subject opened fire on them, killing Officer Baxter and gravely wounding his sergeant.

The subject who shot him was taken into custody the following morning.

Officer Baxter served with the Kissimmee Police Department for three years. He is survived by his wife and three children

Heard about this on the radio this morning while driving.

Also two Jacksonville FL officers were shot, one expected not to survive.

Unfortunately so.

Yet the DP and other print outlets still running White Cop Punches Black Motorist on side of front page. While regulating these attacks / murder of LE's down the bottom. 3+ hours after being reported on line.

....and that is disgusting in my opinion.

It's gotta be almost the shittiest job on the planet, yet everyone criticizes and complains about police..........until they NEED them...different story then.

When is #BLM going to be declared a terrorist group and hunted to extinction.

#BLM needs to be captured, tried, and executed when the crime warrants the death penalty. The leadership should be tried on multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder at the very least.
