Lost in the Shuffle

Not what should have happened. A bloody end to last week:

• An Iowa man who had several run-ins with police and was banned from his daughter's high school after waving a Confederate flag was charged with murder on Thursday for the ambush-style slaying of two police officers.
  
  Scott Michael Greene, 46, was arrested after turning himself in to authorities hours after the separate shootings early on Wednesday in Des Moines and the city's suburb of Urbandale. Police have not commented on a motive for the ambush-style assaults.

And in New York City:

• The police found the suspect just a few blocks from the Bronx apartment he had stormed into on Friday, armed with a gun and looking for his estranged wife.
  
  One sergeant approached the red Jeep that dispatchers had told the officers to look for. He was shot in the face. Another sergeant was shot in the leg.

The shooter in New York had told relatives he wanted to die at the hands of police on more than one occasion. The war continues.

RIP Officers and a speedy recovery wished to the wounded.
