Was this over Brown? Who knows?

Targeting the police department sounds like someone with a grievance.

The shooter must’ve not heard the LEOs say “Put down your weapon!” All they have to do is say it once and the shooter is dead meat if he doesn’t immediately comply ...

This is because they are AFRAID to riot in Austin. Acevedo lets his guys do pretty much whatever they want.

Common bumper sticker is “Keep Austin Weird”. Any place full of lib douche bags is already weird. You can lead a lib to water but you can’t make them drink it.

There are tweets on Breaking News saying the gunman was wearing a vest and suggesting an explosive device in it.

Also saying “multiple IED’s” with the Mexican Consulate being mentioned.

It’s VERY obvious that this guy HATES WINDOWS. The DOJ needs to be called in on this one.
