OAKLAND -- A suspect wanted for shooting at an Oakland police sergeant Saturday night as she sat dazed in her patrol SUV after a collision was arrested Thursday morning after a standoff with Stockton police, officials said.

The suspect's name was not released by police, who said he made statements that the July 23 shooting may have been inspired by recent anti-police sentiment in areas where there have been police shootings.

--SNIP--

"Right now we don't know the why," Holmgren said about a motive. He said that the suspect was possibly inspired by anti-police sentiments, but didn't elaborate.

The reason is Obama. He has been fueling the flames of racial hatred, and anti-police sentiment, since he took office.

In all my life of 66 years, I have never seen such a blatant war on the LEO community. It started from the President ("they acted stupidly") and grew from there.

The fact that the Democrat National Convention (DNC) invited what I call, "Mothers of Mayhem" to speak only furthered the flames. The racist genie is out of the bottle more than Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton can control. This is not going to end well for some. Baltimore was just the beginning. Once the DNC is over, look for more unrest since Mosby had to pull the charges.
