Sadly, ironic, is the fact that the officers killed and wounded were the very men and women there trying to keep protesters safe...facilitating their rights to lawfully and peacefully organize and protest.
Nobody there was trying to ignore or disrupt the protest except the racist terrorist killers who reportedly support BLM..
The sad part is that they weren't wearing protective gear, so that they could show protesters they weren't a threat.

Important point...and one which is easily overlooked.
Police went out of their way...to the point of putting their own lives in jeopardy...in order 'To Protect and Serve' the BLM protester's and their rights to organize and protest.

They should probably quite calling them snipers. And it seems only one took an elevated, or sniper, position. But we dont even know how long they stayed in their positions.
I think they just like the word "sniper"
Typical media

Really?
When the perp declares that he wants to kill white cops at a BLM rally protesting against white cops... clearly they aren't related.

It makes me wonder...Did the shooters know this in advance?

I can guarantee you with 100% certainty that this method will not work either.
I did not claim it would.

I dunno. The mind reels with possibilities about what's behind this. Look at all the weirdness associated with the Orlando shooter, even still.
The lone nutter theory is convenient and allows both sides to come together. All the other options are too disturbing to dwell on, the most disturbing being the Deep State variable.
I'd rather just shift timelines. LOL!

It has nothing to do with people getting their way or that one protest is more right than another.
It's about people feeling that they are not being heard and their concerns are being trivialized or dismissed?
Why is that so hard to grasp? It's fairly simple...well, at least it should be.

Yes but it was 2, 3 or 4 people that lost the plot... out of 10s of thousands protesting or vocal about police brutality in black communities. There may even be some idiots on Twitter applauding this horrible act but overwhelming majority won't and know that this adding more scars and grief to our nation isn't the answer.
I agree that activists should have been listened to, they still should but not because it was going to lead to this because it didn't lead to this. This is because some subversive, evil, sick assholes decided to get together and kill some cops.
"Was it because of a protest or was it because of guys out for a walk one night and decided they’d go kill some Americans. What difference – at this point, what difference does it make?"
