I've got 15 minutes left in my office pool for first blacklivesmatter and/or Sharpton/Jackson rant. Don't let me down, Paddock.
Seriously, though, terrible tragedy.

Would have rather seen his balls blown off and then let him stand trial/spend his life in the pokey.

Wow. Terrible. If true, those that have supported this joke of a movement have blood their hands. Not that they care

Absolute silence from Barack, Al, Jesse, etc. You better believe they'd be up in arms if it were some worthless thug though.
I guess the only surprising thing is that he was actually around his kids.

This is tragic, and it's good that the culprit quickly met justice.
But before the tarring and feathering of Black Lives Matter, it's worth pointing out that not only is there no increase in police deaths this year (82 January through August this year, compared to 84, 78, and 85 the previous 3 years), we're in a decades-long decrease in police deaths. I know certain media has been trying to push a "war on cops" narrative, but in reality there is no reason to believe that BLM is leading people to kill police, and there is certainly no increase in police deaths compared to a typical year. Sometimes, criminals shoot at cops. It's a terrible thing, and as expected those who do so face justice.

Based on the article I saw, his posts had discouraged violence against police and defended police who shot someone who came at them with a knife. Yes, he attended a Mike Brown funeral service. Yes, he put "hands up don't shoot" posts on Facebook (like millions of people have).That a year later he's running from police and shoots at them when he can't get away doesn't put blood on the hands of BLM supporters.
The state trooper was killed as he was calling in to get a hotel set up for the family of the driver.
You may be one of the most naive people I've ever encountered. Or maybe just stupid. Or both.
I cant imagine having the motivation to type out two "don't rush to judgement" posts for a cop killer.
I did rush to judgment on the cop killer. He's dead: good. I'm saying don't judge BLM over this guy.
Let's see a guy who preaches about the evils of cops from a group that says cops are evil and celebrates them getting killed, murders a cop and it's not a reflection of the group? How about the BLM groups who celebrated the Texas cop being killed by marching and chanting "Pigs. Fry like bacon!"
I think this group is a joke. This is the same group who had members put confederate flags on black soldiers memorials and TWICE posted "racist hate letters" on predominantly black churches to make it look like it was a white person did it before being outed.
This group doesn't give two craps about the absurd amount of black on black/black on white crime or the cops whose lives are taken dealing with deadbeat criminals. But they sure care whenever a white person is involved.
I'm still waiting for someone to tell me the justification for Baltimore/Freddie Gray incident being portrayed as a race issue when 3 of the 6 cops were black. I'd also, like to know how their corrupt government can justify giving Gray's deadbeat family $6 million dollars that belonged to the taxpayers. In what universe would a career criminal/crack dealer make that type of money?
Not one person is judging BLM over this one guy. We've all judged them by their previous actions and words.
The passionate defense is just funny and the irony is that they are a group they rushes to extreme judgements. What has BLM done that is positive in any way? Was chanting about pigs in a blanket, fry them like bacon hours after the TX cop was executed cool?
They are turds in the same vein as Westboro, only the have dipshits taking up for them.

From a pure numbers standpoint, more whites are killed by blacks.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from 1999-2011, data shows 2,151 whites died by being shot by police compared to 1,130 blacks.
Here are some other stats that no one mentions.
DOJ statistics show that during 1980-2008, blacks committed 52 percent of all homicides compared to 45 percent of whites and according to the more recent FBI’s statistics, in 2013, black criminals committed 38 percent of murders compared to 31.1 percent of white criminals.
The Manhattan Institute found that 85 percent of interracial violence (non murder) is black on white.
Now think about this...the black population is only 13 percent of the country and is outnumbered 5-1 by whites yet they commit 8 times more violence against whites than whites against blacks.
These are numbers that never get mentioned because any honest racial discussion is considered "racist" so white guilt and the victim mentality is the only thing allowed to be promoted despite it being a total lie.

Cops vs robbers man, same as finding billy and Bonnie and Jesse and Clyde and blasting their ***. If you is an outlaw you might find yourself shooting the law and If you is the law you might find yourself shooting an outlaw. The two don't agree. IMHO the outlaw should have surrendered admitted where he was wrong, and paid his dues. Now he is a dead murderer that took an innocent life that was trying to keep the peace.
40 year old man in Lincoln Heights last night tried to shoot my brother's best friend. Luckily the gun didn't discharge when the trigger was pulled or he would no longer be with us. Point blank range attempt at his stomach.
True, but those numbers get a lot closer when you look only at killings of unarmed suspects. Looking at the Guardian's count of shootings in 2015, there have been 69 unarmed white and 62 unarmed black suspects killed by police. Far out of proportion to our relative populations, and it is killings of unarmed suspects that have prompted most of the large outrcries. Its not a black only problem, but that doesn't mean that black people don't feel disproportionately harmed and that this is a facet of a larger problem of hostility between police/"the system" and their communities. We can still look at this as being a general problem of policing strategy/tactics, while the parallel issue of racial justice is pursued.
The murder rate in the US may be higher than western Europe, but is thankfully still fairly low, having fallen a lot in the past decades. Even with the higher murder rate among black Americans, about 2 out of every 10,000 black people in the US killed someone last year. And even with black perp white victim murders being more common than the reverse, black perps only account for 16% of white victims. We can't say anything worthwhile about race relations using such tiny portions of people. If racism exists, and if black people are disadvantaged by it, then the 2 out of 10,000 black people who murder someone, and the small fraction of that group that killed a white person, aren't particularly relevant to the conversation. And, yes, the numbers killed by police are likewise relatively ssmal, but what has led to protests and a movement is not the mere fact that the killings occur, but the perceived lack of justice for those killed, with police predominantly getting the benefit of the doubt and even highly suspect cases not being even prosecuted. That's why these get focused on - if a gangbanger shoots somebody over drugs, or to take their stuff, everybody expects that they'll be arrested if identified and prosecuted.
It's being reported now that the Trooper was trying to arrange accommodations where the family could stay. While he was in his car making arrangements, the driver took off. The driver/murderer was driving on a suspended license and going to jail.
