Dave Patrick Underwood RIP


For John, BLUFWe know about Mr George Floyd, who died in police custody, in Minneapolis.  Should we not known about this man, murdered by a rioter this last weekend  Yes, we expect higher standards of those who provide us protection, but that does not mean that rioters are not to be held to a high standard.  Nothing to see here; just move along.




From The Federal Times, by Reporter Daisy Nguyen, 1 Jun 2020.

Here is the lede plus one:

A federal law enforcement officer who was shot and killed while providing security at the U.S. courthouse in Oakland, California, during a protest has been identified.

Dave Patrick Underwood, 53, died from gunshot wounds sustained after someone fired shots from an unidentified vehicle Friday night, the FBI said Sunday.

For irony, Mr Underwood was a Black man.

For further irony, he was murdered while providing protection to the Ronald Vernie Dellums Building in Oakland.  Representative Ron Dellums was the first Black Member of Congress from Northern California and served thirteen terms.  He also served as Mayor of Oakland.

Mr Underwood is survive by a Sister, Angela Underwood Jacobs.  Ms Jacobs, earlier this year, ran for the Republican nomination for the US Congress in the California 25th District.  The seat was won by Republican Mike Garcia, who replaces disgraced Democratic Representative Katie Hill (resigned November 3, 2019),

Our condolences to Ms Jacobs and other members of Mr Underwood's family.  He should not be forgotten.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
