“So I am not so sure that the wars on cops statement is applicable for this.”
When multiple police officers are ambushed and killed, it is unquestionably part of the War on Cops.
According to a local news source, the father ran across the street for help and told a neighbor his son had a gun and wanted to kill cops. The neighbor then called the police.
What I mean is that there are many people that hate cops, but this boy or young man whatever you want to call him is crazy and most likely hates cops for a very different reason. It is not connected to the BLM war on cops, and that is what I meant. If you want to attribute everyone who wants to kill a cop as part of the war on cops, then yes.
