3 police officers have been shot dead and 3 others are injured,in a shooting in Baton Rouge,Louisiana. 1 suspect is dead and 2 others are possibly at large . And so the carnage continues !
It feels as though we are living through the most unsettled times, worldwide, that I can remember in my lifetime.
The problem is that one incident can spark 'copycat' incidents so you'll find that the police will try and play it down somewhat. There currently saying that it is NOT a race issue, which for me, seems just that.
' With all due respect,their bound to say that.They don't want to inflame the issue,it's obvious that this has occurred because of what's happened in Dallas. I don't know who the perpetrator's were in this case,but I'd say it's a reasonable guess they were black !
The man who shot dead three police officers in the US city of Baton Rouge has been identified as a black military veteran who released a series of videos railing against the treatment of African-Americans by police. Gavin Long was killed in a gun battle with police on Sunday, on what was his 29th birthday
It was primarily aimed at policemen,almost certainly white ones would have been the main targets.No one's saying he was the sharpest tool in the box,just another lunatic !
I think the beef is at white police officers but if a load of people are shooting at you then you'll shoot back regardless of their colour.
