The target of the ambush was the cop who put him behind bars
It’s been only three weeks since sheriff’s deputy Darren Goforth was ambushed in Houston by a black man who pumped 15 bullets into the unsuspecting officer’s body. Now we have another black man ambushing a white cop in nearby Texas City and using a much more powerful weapon than a handgun.
Texas City police officer Salvador Chapa was going about his duties last weekend when the unsuspecting officer was ambushed by a black ex-con he had put behind bars.
What was the powerful weapon ex-convict Edward "Doc" Amey used in his ambush of a white cop? It was prayer!
When Amey spotted the cop who had put him behind bars, he walked up to Chapa and told him he wanted to pray for the police. The two of them then prayed together.
The encounter was caught on camera and the picture went viral on the internet.
Amey has an extensive criminal record, including six felonies. He was sentenced to prison three times. But several years ago he turned to God and turned his life around.
KHOU-TV quotes Amey as saying:
"I have not always been a friend to the police. I grew up selling drugs. I've been to prison three times. The last week-and-a-half God has really been giving me the urge to pray for police officers.”
Chapa said, "I arrested him several years ago on a gun charge and due to that, he ended up doing some time."
Wouldn’t it be great if all ambushes of cops turned out this way.
