    When cops think they can just keep marching on the danger, and the danger will just surrender, maybe it’s time for them to realize their tactics are bad. It happens over and over, and the top brass just gets to use the pile of bodies as propaganda.

    Also, officer-down

      Yea saw a video on reddit from the shooting earlier, sure looked like one of the officers was using a chain link fence for cover.

          Guess we gotta give them credit for not covering their eyes to employ the “if I can’t see you, you can’t see me” strategy

    Police say they were killed by a “high powered rifle”

    Would be delicious if it was an AR15

      Oh man that’s a favorite bullshit phrase of theirs to make it sound like they’re in so much danger!

      When the truth is that basically every rifle caliber is “high power”

        For more emphasis fuckery, technically the AR15 only fires a 22 caliber bullet

    Congratulations to everybody involved in the situation for getting exactly what they’ve vocally supported for years.

    They didn’t want to even mandate background checks on any gun sales they could. Unbelievably that resulted in people with violent criminal history’s still having unlimited access to firearms. Thank God the violent armed person pointed the gun in the right direction for once.
