| Cop Shot in Traffic Stop Ambush Near Ferguson |
| 2016-07-11 |
| [Daily Beast] A police officer is in ’bad shape’ after being shot in the neck during a routine traffic stop. An officer shot during a traffic stop in a town near St. Louis, Missouri was described as kind-hearted, outgoing, and a "centerpiece" of the police department by friends and colleagues. Michael Flamion was shot in the neck during a traffic stop in Ballwin, about 20 miles from Ferguson, on Friday, shortly after a sniper killed five police officers and injured seven others in Dallas, Texas. Flamion is expected to survive. "Make no mistake, we believe ... that [Flamion] was ambushed, period," St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said. "It is an unfortunate state of events." |

| #5 Ballwin is not "near" Ferguson. When I was last there, it was a nice, neat, boring suburb. That was 20 years ago, to be sure. |
