Could be trained Muslims.

The shooter who killed the cop behind the pillar charged, juked and covered himself by misdirecting gunfire before he shot the cop he tricked in the back. It really looked like combat training or experience in effective use of cover. He knew what he was doing.

***If the police anywhere want sympathy from me they need to protest the FBI.

There is no rule of law in the US anymore.

Until Hillary Clinton is prosecuted there is no reason to support any law enforcement.]***

I was thinking something similar. You can’t expect continued lawlessness from our Government leaders and not expect that it will eventually filter down to the citizenry. I’m not condoning either in this particular case. But at some point, when people feel they have no justice, rightly or wrongly they will take matters into their own hands.

Those of us who believe in the just cause of our forefathers and our Constitution and Bill of Rights see the handwriting on the wall. We could very well be fighting in the streets to save our 2nd amendment rights. Some would consider it just, and some wouldn’t.

Finally found the real story. Philando Castille in Minnesota died for being stupid! You don't tell a policeman you have a gun while reaching for your license and registration.
“He tells us to put our hands in the air, we have our hands in the air,” she said. “At the time as our hands is in the air, he asked for license and registration,” which Mr. Castile carried in a wallet in his back pocket.

As he is reaching for his back pocket wallet, to produce his license and registration, “he lets the officer know, ‘Officer, I have a firearm on me,’ ” she said. “I began to yell, ‘But he’s licensed to carry.’ After that, he began to take off shots — bah, bah, bah, bah, ‘Don’t move! Don’t move!’ But how can you not move when you’re asking for license and registration? It’s either you want my hands in the air or you want my identification.”

Clearly even his girlfriend knew he had made the fatal mistake.

If the police anywhere want sympathy from me they need to protest the FBI.

As if your local PD aren't stuck on the wrong side of the FBI just like you are? WAKE UP! Local Police are mostly on the "wrong" side of FedGov stormtroopers right along with the rest of us.

Look at California, and the slew of new anti-gun crap Gov. Brown just puked up all over that State. Local Sheriffs have ALREADY been looking the other way when they encounter gun owners ever since the LAST round of anti-gun spew erupted out of Sacramento; they're already giving citizens in their jurisdictions 2nd Amendment cover by implementing a silent pattern of non-enforcement; it's not 100%, but it's a majority who're doing it. Now it's getting to the level where your average beat cop is being actively forced to decide, "Do I look the other way as a matter of personal routine, or do I play Anti-2nd Amendment Thug on behalf of Sacramento? Am I a mindless pawn, or not? Exactly whom am I here to protect and serve?"

See how that works?

Now, a lotta State legislatures are refusing to march in step with FedGov on guns and the 2nd Amendment — and that's good, but officers in blue States like Illinois, New York and California...? Who's got their backs? If they get a crapload of anti-cop rhetoric from sane gun owners now, who's side you think they'll be on when the shit really does hit the fan? So, a little empathy for — and maybe some strategic, personal conversations with — your local LEO's might be in order as they personally grapple with how to do their regular jobs without becoming the proxy anti-constitutionalist army of jackbooted thugs FedGov would like to make them into. Most local officers live right there in town with their wives and kids, and you really think they want to be part of a FedGov force that threatens to rip their own communities into pieces??

Except in cases of egregious capitulation to the thinly-veiled FedGov agenda — and I mean on an individual basis, not by department — you, and I and everyone else are going to be WAAAAYY better off if we've won The Blue Crew over to our side BEFORE things get hot and heavy, and tarring them all in broad-brush fashion isn't going to help that effort.

Thin about it this way: EVERY cop you can win over NOW is one more cop you won't be trading live fire with later on when things really ARE ugly. And you better understand this, too: ALL of us are going to NEED ALL THE HELP WE CAN GET.

This is the fundamental transformation we were all promised. Close coordination and support from the highest levels of government for well trained, financed, and equipped urban community activist groups.
Yep. The Community Organizer In Chief I believe has been running the show since at least back when his 'son' Trayvon got the surprise of his life.

Its gonna be a long hot summer.

With a few more incidents like this I can easily see the GOPe, the Dims and Obama (the Uniparty) agreeing to martial law keeping Obama in long enough to at least dump HRC and The Donald for "better" candidates.

Is there vid and audio of those chants about killing cops??

That’s incitement.

If there’s a connection between the perps and the protesters, then that means the protest itself was a setup, to get a group of cops together and ambush them.

Ping to Sarah’s post.

I don't have any video of Dallas chanting "Dead Cops"

I have seen many vids from Protest Past.

"If there’s a connection between the perps and the protesters, then that means the protest itself was a setup, to get a group of cops together and ambush them."

That is what is also in my mind right now.

I got banned for saying much less than this...
Don’t plan on calling the cops - ever! If you really still believe what you just posted in haste.

I’m assuming BLM is full of black Muslims. So yeah, terrorists.
