A 29-year-old South Carolina police officer is dead—gunned down Saturday by a suspect with a rap sheet spanning at least four states—while the national press that spent years amplifying anti-police narratives can barely bring itself to notice.
Officer Christopher DeLong answered a domestic violence call in Columbia and never went home to his wife and two young children. The man who shot him, 33-year-old Adam Tyler Dowdy, was well known to the system: his record included arrests for possession of a controlled substance, probation violations, contempt of court, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication across multiple states, according to Columbia Police Chief W.H.
