RIP.

On the same day that mourners were paying their final respects to a fallen Pierce County sheriff's deputy, an Everett Police Department officer was killed Friday afternoon during a run in with a suspect who shot and killed the policeman before running over his body while driving away from the scene, authorities said.

Everett Police Department Officer Dan Rocha, 41, was pronounced dead at the scene after his 2 p.m. encounter with the suspect in the parking lot of a local Starbucks. Rocha had served with the department since 2017, according to Everett police.

Courtney O'Keefe, a spokeswoman for the Snohomish County SMART team and the sheriff's office, said a 50-year-old man was in custody in connection with the officer's death.

She said the officer was shot several times after an altercation with the suspect in the parking lot of the Starbucks, located in the 1000 block of Broadway Ave.

When ever I see no photo of the scum who did this I have to wonder why they chose to leave that out? Now let the excuses start to flow like water on how he was just getting his life together and it was not his fault.

I was there.
People go on their merry way and will never understand what it is like to be in law enforcement and risk so much. They don't lose friends or co-workers to senseless acts of violence.

RIP OFC Rocha #1470

No release of suspect ID yet, but 50 various counts on criminal record. And I believe 6 trips to the joint.

Model citizen. Probably just needs a little more time to turn his life around.

Maybe Jayana was too drunk to run over troopers Mack and Sisca's dead bodies, which she undoubtedly regrets. Cool part is only about 1 in 5 outlets even want to show her disgusting mug.

Well I see we have another of the model citizens one party is always saying I need to support. So now of course I am supposed to support him for the next 30 years or so. Such a wonderful way to spend tax dollars.

I have never been in law enforcement because I do understand the crap they are expected to take and that is not something I would be willing to do. But I do appreciated those who are willing to do so to protect us.
