Six law enforcement officers on Friday night were shot -- two are confirmed dead -- in three different U.S. cities, their respective agencies have confirmed.

Kissimmee looks like it might have been an ambush. I’m thinking the Jacksonville call might have been one, too. The call in PA looks like a robbery gone bad. As for connected, the 2 in FL have me wondering.
Prayers for the officers, their families and friends.
And the media is not having one of their orgasms over it, because they LIKE IT!
I could never "switch hats" as the late Larry Grathwohl did. But lawyers go from black to white hats every day.
I could never be a lawyer, either: just the reading of one paragraph of law puts me to sleep.
Obama's NOT still at it?
Take every article reported by the MSM to support BLM and once the perp is arrested, arrest every media owner as co-defendants.
Just caught some live news from Kissimmee. Officer Baxter has passed away, but no new word on Sgt. Howard’s condition.
Kissimmee is a toilet thanks to the “diversity “.
Press conference at 9 here in Orlando. (Kissimmee )
Hmmmm, which racist group was marching some time ago chanting “pigs in a blanket fry them like bacon?” And which national leader promoted disrespect for law enforcement?
-—The federal government should announce that Antifa/BLM will be treated as a terrorist organization——
Have you signed the petition to the Wihte House to do just that?

I agree - Antifa should be identified as a terrorist group. All individuals and groups supporting this dangerous entity (including news outlets, late night tv hosts, etc.) should be investigated and prosecuted.
Lots of us do have our heads on a swivel, and we know who supports us and who wants us gone. For the first time in my career that spans over 25 years I’m carrying a gun in my yard, and I live in a good neighborhood, but have a marked unit in my driveway. After standing at attention 4 times, looking into the eyes of the family of a fallen friend while the bagpipes played, when I read about something like this I feel a pain that I can’t describe. I can’t speak for the Departments up north or on the west coast, I’m in South Carolina, but we see trouble coming and are going to be in the middle. Whose side are we on, real simple the Constitution, that’s what I swear to defend and uphold every 4 years, that and the laws of SC. (As a Deputy Sheriff I swear in every time the Sheriff does). I won’t try to defend stand down orders, however I have been on scenes several times where we just didn’t have the manpower to stop stuff, we did engage but quickly ended up in a fight that engaged us to the point that numerous other things took place that we just couldn’t stop. We see what’s coming, and we hate seeing our communities ripped apart. That being said I have faith that far and away the biggest majority of my brothers and sisters will do what is right when the time comes regardless of the personal cost.
Thx!
Having to stream from a local station. Big 3 cable news nets can’t be bothered to carry it. Sgt. Howard still in grave condition.
Did I get this right: The perp had been making threats against LE in his social media postings and none of the perp’s family, friends could be bothered to notify LE....
From UPI:
The police chief said it was too early to determine if the shooting was an ambush, but added it was “leading toward that.”
President Donald Trump tweeted condolences following news of the shooting on Friday night.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the Kissimmee Police and their loved ones. We are with you!” Trump wrote.
3 suspects. Neither officer was able to defend himself, neither officer’s weapon cleared its holster....
How many of the perps were “white supremacists”? I bet none. Because very few of that nasty type exist.
Everett Glen Miller arrested. No other persons being sought. Pic of perp just shown. He’s not a Kluxer.
Imagine that nobody wants to be a cop anymore. America besieged by Antifa and BLM.
