“Enough is enough,” the head of the Houston Police Officers’ Union (HPOU) told reporters outside the hospital where two officers lay in critical condition after being shot on Monday.

Police “are sick and tired of having targets on our back,” HPOU President Joe Gamaldi declared:

"We are sick and tired of having targets on our back. We are sick and tired of having dirtbags trying to take our lives when all we’re trying to do is protect this community and protect our families. Enough is enough."

Earlier in the day, four officers were shot – two critically – as they tried to serve a warrant on a black tar heroin charge, KHOU 11 News Houston reports:

“Four Houston police officers were shot Monday afternoon while serving a narcotics warrant in southeast Houston. “Two of those officers are in critical condition and were undergoing surgery Monday night at Memorial Hermann Hospital.
