Police officers in three different states have been ambushed around the time-frame of the Dallas shooting that left five officers dead and many others injured. Officers were shot in what authorities described as ambushes in Missouri, Tennessee and Georgia Friday.
A Ballwin, Missouri, police officer is clinging to life on Friday after being shot during a traffic stop. The officer stopped a speeding car at about 11 a.m., the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported. As the officer was walking back to his car, the suspect exited his vehicle and walked briskly towards the officer. He then fired three shots at the officer.
Make no mistake, we believe that Ballwin officer was ambushed, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told the local newspaper. The suspect fled in his vehicle but was captured a few miles away. A pistol was recovered from the vehicle. The suspect has a previous felony record and is currently on probation on a gun charge. He was also on probation for a stolen vehicle charge in Oklahoma from 2011. In 2015 the suspect was paroled in California on a firearms charge. The suspect was not identified by name or description and a motivation for the ambush was not given.
In a shooting described by CBS News as similar to the Dallas ambush, A Bristol, Tennessee, police officer was shot by a man who allegedly killed one other person and injured two others. Preliminary findings by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations (TBI) indicate the suspect, 37,year-old Lakeem Keon Scott may have been targeting people and officers because he was troubled by recent events involving African-Americans and law enforcement officers in other parts of the country. Soctt was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and a pistol... This shooting took place on Thursday morning, before the Dallas shooting took place.

A Valdosta police officer was shot on Friday morning while responding to a call of damage to an apartment complex, NBC11 reported. The suspect reportedly called police reporting his vehicle had been broken into. When Officer Randall Hancock responded Hancock allegedly exited his vehicle with a handgun and fired on the Valdosta officer. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation said Officer Beck was shot in the abdomen, beneath his protective vest. He returned fire striking the suspected gunman.
One of these was prior to Dallas, the other two after. What this guy did in Dallas has only led to more people who hate cops going after them.
This makes Obama happy, apparently.

This was planned from the White House.
Yep...
It’s war on cops by the BLM crowd.
You own this Hussien, you POS, and so do all that voted for you.....
The Reverend Jackson blames Donald Trump.
Oblama’s Martial Law DREAM taking shape. 6 months prior to him leaving office, right on schedule. Can he pull it off and stay in office? We shall see..
What a complete and total pompous a$$.

AG Lynchmob just declared Open Season on Cops & Whites. African & Muslim voices are important and deserve to be heard. Dead cops have no voice. Dead Whites have no special laws or constituent groups.
ORevolutionaryCommunist and his “Justice” dept. pursue further anti-Constitutional 2A abuses.
The Executive and DOJ/FBI are completely lawless and corrupt, enemies of The People, enemies of the former Republic...by THEIR prosecutorial inaction, enforcement priorities, actions, politics, and choices.
No way the foreign dog will remain occupying the White House. Not saying the rats won’t steal another election, but it won’t be Zero Hussein... no way. There’s too many patriotic and courageous Americans who would solve that problem by any means necessary.
The BLM types will then call the cops racist for ignoring their communities. The whole shooting at them thing will not factor into their thoughts.
In many places the police don't respond to much already. If you have already determined there is no one in your house after a burglary they give you an online form to fill out around here.
And this is *after* we approved the bond for enhanced Sheriff's patrol in our part of the county.
I don't blame them though. The nearby big city has been increasing Section 8 housing and importing gang bangers from across the river and more serious crime and gang presence is now a problem.
I’ll bet gun laws were on the books to prevent that guy from having a gun.
