A former Marine dressed in black and carrying extra ammunition shot and killed three Baton Rouge law enforcement officers Sunday, less than two weeks after a black man was fatally shot by police here in a confrontation that sparked nightly protests that reverberated nationwide. Three other officers were wounded, one critically. Police said the gunman was killed at the scene.
The shooting less than a mile from police headquarters added to the tensions across the country between the black community and police. Just days earlier, one of the slain officers had posted an emotional Facebook message about the challenges of police work in the current environment. [ ]
The gunman was identified as Gavin Long of Kansas City, who turned 29 on Sunday. Long, who was black, served in the Marines from 2005 to 2010, reaching the rank of sergeant. He deployed to Iraq from June 2008 to January 2009, according to military records.

didn’t we have enough of this crap when our guys returned from Vietnam? (You know, they are ALL baby killers and unstable....”)
Eee-F’n-Nuff!!!
Robot LIves Matter
The now almost defunct KKK, in their formative years and wildest flights of fantasy, could never anticipate or dream of a day when the black culture would kill themselves off with such aplomb.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
GTH, AP.
Never, ever do a favor for fools. They will convince themselves it's the reverse.
Not another truck killing! When will we learn—trucks kill!
He/it is now; nothing but soon to be forgotten maggot meat, worm food.
They will say it is not anti-white hate, just like they say ISIS kills “mostly muslims,” so it has nothing to do with islam.
Gee. You would have thought they would have said “Nation of Islam and active muslim kills...” but I guess that just would not have fit their template.
FR lore says there’s no such thing as a “former” Marine...
More amazing...the absolute SILENCE as to his race. Nobody in the media is saying “black”... “...a 29 year old X-marine...”
IOW, another Black who has ties to Islam and was sent to fight against Islamists.....probably knew and talked/planned with each other....
While we don’t like to be called “ex Marines” in Johnson’s case I prefer that term. “Former Marine” refers to those of us who took the oath and lived by the slogan “Semper Fidel’s.” Since he did not meet those criteria, I call him ex-Marine.

More white people are murdered every year by blacks than the entire total of all victims of all colors throughout all of history killed by the “KKK”.
I put KKK in quotes because you gotta include the Knights of the White Camelia, et al, which are Klanny.
I had missed that. Thanks
Clinton will have the devil makers of these demon seeds at her convention
I don't say that about McCain, either ... John Glenn permanently inoculated me against that silliness.
No, the KKK was bad. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. Communists and National Socialists hate each other ... both hate liberty. Neither is our friend.
AP actually did say it, but waits for a couple of paragraphs in.
