    What's interesting in other cases he says "need more facts" but he is ready to be judge and jury about BLM and Obama as soon as a tragedy like this happens.

    Later that night their colleagues would be lying on the street dead in a pool of their own blood.

    This is a terrible watershed moment for law enforcement. The President and the Media need to stop pouring gasoline on the problem.

    sorry i think you're wrong. cops have done nothing to show they wouldn't be worried anymore. in fact on the contrary, many many unarmed people have been shot too. you want to disarm the people, they can get behind the cops in the disarm line. bottom line, if you want cops to stop being judge and executioner you have to disarm them too.

    What percentage of people participating in BLM-organized protests would you guess wants to see cops killed?

    What percentage of fatal shootings against black men would you guess was purely motivated by race?

    Perpetrators need to be prosecuted, weapons need to be removed from the streets. And telling that the same people are politicizing this tragedy.

    The shooters need to be killed. Don't waste time and money on them.

    So will this count as terrorism since police are government workers?

    This is horrible. These "pigs" are good people and necessary to protect the law-abiding, honest, and respectable citizens from these types of Black Lives Matter protesters.

    They will be after hopefully a short stay on death row. Capital offense to kill a police officer in Texas.


    Should be a hate crime and trigger a DOJ investigation, right?
