A horrible tragedy happened several days ago in a suburb of Albany, NY.
A police officer used his government-issued gun to kill his wife and 10-year old child, set the house on fire (with the family dog trapped in the house) and shot himself.
The obituary of Israel J. Roman reportedly calls him a "decorated police officer" and a "loving family man".
The "loving family man" had a wife and two sons, a 10-year old and a 15-year old.
And a family dog.
The only person who survived the killing spree of the "loving family man" is the 15-year old.
Because he was not at home or because the father did not plan to kill the 15-year old, only a 10-year old? At least, it is reported that evidence was found that the police officer planned the killings, packed his 15-year-old belongings neatly in a car in a separate garage unaffected by fire, and killed the rest of the family while the 15-year-old was at a basketball game.
The wife and son were shot from the government-assigned pistol, by the officer who was out in the street, armed by us and at our expense, in order for him to protect us.
"Police said after shooting his wife and son, Roman wrapped them in
blankets and carried them to the master bedroom upstairs, where he then
shot himself with his police-issued handgun. As a result of the intense
fire, the bodies had to be identified through dental records."
A loving family man.
Apparently, the "loving family man" harbored a hope that the evidence of his murders will be obliterated by the fire and his face will be saved in death, and, since all three corpses will be obliterated by an "intense fire", it will be impossible to find out what happened. Honest even in the afterlife.
Apparently, the "loving family man" did not care whether the fire of his burning house would spread to other homes and that other people would also die.
Apparently, not only he did not care about taking the lives of his wife and 10-year-old child, he did not care that his animal will die in that fire either - and the family dog did die in that fire.
Reportedly, the fire was already visible outside in the street 37 minutes after his 10-year old got off the school bus. The wife worked as an elementary school teacher, so likely she and the 10-year-old son came home at about the same time. To the loving family man, who was already waiting for them, having prepared not only the means to murder them, but also to stage those murders to appear as if all three of them fell victims of accidental house fire.
A childhood friend of the murdered wife of the "family man" Deborah Roman, reported that 5 years ago (!) Deborah Roman told her about the "oppressive life that she had at the hands of her husband". 5 years ago.
Nothing was done since then to protect Deborah Roman or her children, and, apparently, she was afraid to come forward because of who her husband was. And for a good reason, it now appears.
The obituary is trying to save the officer's face - but lying about a murderer of an entire family for the sake of proprieties only hurts his victims. And it hurts us.
We need to know the truth as to how our police officers are trained and screened.
We need to repeal the shameful Civil Rights Law 50-a that prevents disclosure of history of police misconduct.
Because the obituary may be lying more than we know when it says he was a "decorated police officer".
Maybe, he had a disciplinary record before - but it is concealed from the public by the law that is, mockingly, called a "civil rights law" when it is designed to violate our civil rights.
Lies that "dearly deceased" government officers and/or employees were in fact monsters do not help anybody, and especially because such deceased were public officials.
And the question remains about the living police officers - how many more monsters are out there, armed by us, funded by us, roaming the streets trigger-happy? With the Civil Rights Law 50-a continuing to guard their dirty pasts - until they murder somebody and do not stage the murders as accidents well enough?
And, if Officer Roman attempted to stage the evidence of his own crimes, how many crime scenes did he fabricate against other people?
Will there be any meaningful investigation of that?
We will see.
