I am saddened and heartbroken on the open hunting of the police. Re: the cold blooded shootings of the two transport deputies in Compton. The celebrations of the shootings by BLM , recording themselves laughing, blocking the emergency entrance. While I’m ranting, Lancaster, PA! The guy had a knife chasing police officer! WTF! ---

No matter how horrible the police are (and make no mistake they are horrible) no one deserves to be killed. Worst of all it’s put me on neener-neener’s side. Whoa us me! ---

There is video of a handful of protesters outside the ER actively cheering for the deaths of the injured deputies. It’s sickening. But, as to evidence that they were affiliated with BLM beyond just being Black themselves…apparently, some pundits have baldly asserted that the individuals were BLM protesters. That’s it. Also, the sheriff claimed that “crowds” of protesters tried to block the entrance to the ER, but the available video only shows a handful of individuals. ---

There are SOME bad police. Not ALL police are bad. ---

Even the bad police should be dealt with by the legal system not murdered. There’s no justification for murder. ---

Open hunting on the police is bad, as is the vice versa where the police open hunt American citizens. I condemn both because all lives matter, right OP? ---

A member of the press saw all of this. She was clearly identified by her credentials. The police attacked her, beat her up, and arrested her. When multiple videos surfaced supporting the reporter and refuting the police version, she was released without charges.

Now, now… it’s a well-established conservative fact that only _liberal_ hypocrisy is to be scorned and admonished, or even acknowledged at all. ---

The [gang that dominates the Compton](https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-07-30/sheriff-clique-compton-station-executioners) division of LASD is called “the Executioners”. This is a street gang composed of official uniformed Sheriff’s Deputies who draw a salary from the LASD – one of several gangs in the deputies contingent. So, as wonderful and sweet as these people may have been, they are not even any more laudable than Crips or Bloods. ---
