I’m going to guess Obama’s friends in BLM have something to do with this, or at least will celebrate it. The media will find some way to blame Trump.

Does Kissimmee require de-escalation training for its officers? Anyone know? Because if so, that may explain a lot.

Yep, and in a few weeks all will be forgotten. No one will know their names. Some of the criminals they put down will be on memorials, mark my words.

No it would not. History has shown that when it reaches a certain point, the people will solve the problem them selves. They will take care of the problems permanently. And they will do it without crooked lawyers, bought judges, and paid jurors.

Tears. Praying for these heroes and their families. God, give the wounded the strength to recover from their injuries and to move on with their lives. I pray that those who have died will be welcomed into your kingdom and their families will find the strength and courage to face these terrible days ahead. Amen.

The blood of these officers and the misery of their families are 100% the fault of the Democrats and the Left. This is intentional. To foment instability will give them the opportunity to take power and force themselves on the country. They want there to be “problems” so they can apply their “solutions”.

Police Officer Matthew Baxter was shot and killed while responding to reports of three suspicious people in the area of Palmway Street and Cypress Street.

He and the patrol sergeant were speaking to the men when a fourth subject opened fire on them, killing Officer Baxter and gravely wounding his sergeant.

The subject who shot him was taken into custody the following morning.

Officer Baxter served with the Kissimmee Police Department for three years. He is survived by his wife [a Kissimmee Police Officer] and three children.

Will BLM be protesting?

Does his black life "matter" to them?

This was posted in breaking and appears someone remove it. I assume 6 cops getting shot in one night in the U.S. is becoming routine enough where it just doesn’t rate.

I am a VietNam veteran and I know how much the media can misrepresent things.......on purpose.
I hear everyone talking abut the guy who hit the woman but from that I read, he hit another car which then caused a chain reaction and a third car hit her. Did the accused really intend to hit anyone?

To: Does so

Larry Grathwohl was an FBI undercover operative in the Weather Underground Organization (i.e., Weathermen), at great risk to his life. Our undercover work actually overlapped a bit, though my contacts with the SDS-soon-to-be-Weathermen was secondary to the work I was doing concerning Soviet/Communist control and direction of the “Hanoi Lobby” protests.

Did meet Mark Rudd, Cathy Wilkinson, Jack Davis (batshit crazy), possibly Bill Ayers at campus talks, but saw the whole gang when they announced their breaking away from the Communist Party created/dominated National Mobilization/New Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam because of their plans for the “Days of Rage” in Chicago, October 1969.

The CP group didn’t want the SDSers to spoil their “peaceful” image as anti-war protestors (They weren’t doves, only covert hawks for Hanoi).

Larry Grathwohl testified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, Sen. Judiciary Committee on Oct. 18, 1974 (Series on Terrorism) and his book “Bringing Down America: An FBI Informer with the Weathermen” was first published in 1976 (Arlington House), then updated and republished in 2013 by investigative researcher Tina Trent (TinaTrent.com).

Both Larry (deceased) and Tina (still active like a teenager) were/are friends of mine and America owes them a debt of gratitude for bringing the true story of the Weathermen (esp. Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, aka Friends of Obama) back into the public consciousness. Otherwise the media would have successfully covered up much of what the Marxist terrorist WUO actually was (and most of their members still are), psychopathic communist America-haters and enemies.

He stopped being black when he put on the badge. (Their point of view).

Thirty five years ago I interviewed a black pastor who claimed to have marched with MLK. He said "when they send them to the academy they don't think like a black man, they think like a blue man".

35 years ago.

NOTHING has changed.
