One police officer in Newburgh, N.Y. was shot when trying to arrest an armed man wanted for questioning in a shooting. Bodycam footage clearly shows the man armed with a silver handgun violently resisting arrest, drawing his gun, and shooting the officer before getting shot to death by the police.
Cut and dried case of police defending themselves? Not if you're an activist wanting to stoke the fires of racial hatred.
Newburgh residents rioted that evening after a councilman-at-large, Omari Shakur, bitterly complained about police targeting blacks.

Newburg NY a real hell hole.
Silver handgun…classy.
Damn Amish, they get away from the farm and go crazy.
“Newburgh residents rioted that evening after a councilman-at-large, Omari Shakur, bitterly complained about police targeting blacks.”
******************************************************
Damn, there have been times in my life when I made a practice of firing back at people who were shooting at me. It’s a “House” thing. Fortunately nobody rioted...perhaps they weren’t “woke”.
I seriously doubt the rioters, having been proven to be in error, are regretting their actions.
“... Omari Shakur, bitterly complained about police targeting blacks...”
Read no further. There ya go.
They show their hatred for the country that gives them free things.
And so it begins, they need an excuse to loot, they know they cant be arrested
There’s no question in my mind that the intent of this kind of nonsense is to eventually place the black community above the law, with no consequences for their actions. It’s the road to involuntary reparations.
Who cares?
For decades the North preened about their devotion to civil rights and being ‘accepting’. They sneered at the South and the West as unenlightened rubes and racists.
Now they have the nirvana they desired: race driven crime, turmoil, and best of all, foreign pandemics flooding over them and making life impossible.
Break out the popcorn, look out at Mt. Rose and the beautiful serene emptiness of the Northern Nevada sage valleys, and laugh. It’s the world they wanted. They got it.
And the Country gives them more free things in response. On the other hand, those woo love the Country only get screwed and kicked in the nuts.
Not enough background information. Police armed like military is a claim made.
Cops up-powered just like Boston after the Marathon bombing?
They are not Peace Officers.
Yeah, that was outrageous. Probably his role model.
Omari Shakur? Probably his birth name was joe smith. Radicalized AA. Slightly to the left of Genghis Khan.

Not surprising, though.
Seems to be the new paradigm.. thug gets shot doing thug things, fellow thugs go ape-sh*t and do MORE thug things.
Did the rioters maintain the required 6’ “social distancing”?
I thought it was the Lutherans!?!
I keep losing track of who to blame this time!
Don’t need a picture to know what color Shakur is! These black immigrants HATE AMERICA LAW!!
same here, I can’t imagine living like that, bought 10 acres in 1999 in the beautiful Appalachian mountains of southwestern Pa. sat on my porch for 2 hours this morning saw and heard nothing but a soft wind in the trees and seems like hundreds of birds and frogs and not a plane in the sky. with the chickens in the backyard and a full root cellar I’d imagine i’m good for a long loooong time.
