Is this the start of a trend. Ambushing police is not the way to attack police abuse.

Another cop was shot last night in Milwaukee. The suspect shot him as he was sitting in his squad car. Fortunately, he was only wounded. The suspect killed himself.

CNN reporting there may be more than one shooter. Also the weapon used may be an assault rifle. I don't think there should be a ban on guns. I do think there should be one on assault weapons.

That's a pretty awful strawman, 999.

Name one hand gun that can fire 25 rounds in 2.5 seconds.

I wouldn't say it's stupid, but it is definitely impossible.

I look at other countries that have huge populations. They make gun laws very strict and its very hard to get a weapon for private use. the gun murder rates in those countries are mind blowingly low compared to the USA. the USA needs to be better than them in this statistic it just makes us look like a bunch of inconsiderate a-holes that don't care about gun related violence |

Alright, how do we implement the ban? How do we enforce it? Will it be as successful as the war on drugs?

Baton Rouge is where Alton Sterling was killed. This is possibly something spurred by his death.

There have also been a collection of unlawful arrests and police misconduct during the protests since.

As tasteless as it is these attacks on police will cause change.

Back when 9/11 happened some female politician asked
"we need to find out why these people are so mad at us"
she was called every horrible unpatriotic name in the book...
^^this could make change.. yes.. but will it be positive or negative for black folks as a whole |

MSNBC reporting a suspect down (dead) looking for other suspects. Using robots to check for explosives.
