LA - Baton Rouge. 3 officers killed/3 wounded, 17 July 2016

[Woodland]

Why is that whenever we have innocent cops who were just doing their jobs murdered and injured, we have posts about cops shooting black people? Is it an attempt to justify the shooting of cops?

There's no justification for these cops being killed IMO.

Have not seen any poster here justify the shooting of LE. I can understand where the misinterpretation comes from though - by simply pointing out there are problems with LE and POC.

Jmo.

The call came out as a person wearing a coat and carrying an assault rifle while walking behind a Baton Rouge convenience store Sunday morning (July 17).

The police radio communications that follows offers a chilling account of a deadly shooting that left three police officers dead and three more wounded – including one officer who can be heard on the police scanner saying "I'm hit."

bbm, A link would be nice to this. Or is it your opinion that they are inflammatory? Never no I may agree with him. jmo

Here's a MSM link with a few of his quotes:

His statements, made at this moment, are equally divisive IMO

OT: Does anyone know if we have a thread for the hostage situation in Baltimore? I can't seem to find one. There is a 7 year old reported to be one of the hostages. :-(

"A Missouri man suspected in the shootings was killed, according to two sources familiar with the investigation."

I posted about it upthread but for some reason I can't start a thread at the moment.

Governor is supposed to have a presser at 4 PM

 

[Sillybilly]

At this point we don't even have a motive for this incident, so please don't bring in the generalized LE/POC topics.

Terrifying. Especially with a child in the car. I hope they have spoken with authorities about what they saw.

WDSU reporter Jennifer Crockett said a source in the Mayor's Office told her that five men from Missouri lured law enforcement officers to a business in Baton Rouge before opening fire.

This guy talks way too fast and mumbly for me to understand everything, honestly. So I hope someone can transcribe it or something.

He's talking so fast. Is he saying there is/was only one shooter/suspect?
