I read quite a few news reports and only one said anything about the Walmart shopper exchanging fire with the suspects before getting killed. I did see one who interviewed a witness at the Walmart who saw the shopper get killed but the witness did not say anything about fighting back just that the suspects yelled at everyone to get out of the store. Sadly, if that shopper did fight back, it does not appear to have accomplished anything and I hope that is not what got them killed. The suspects did engage officers entering the rear of the store before killing themselves. Oh, and they managed to drape a Gaston Flag over one of the officers killed at the CiCi Pizza...Nice.

I would just one time like to get the real story from the local talking heads.

Well, people who do not believe in government are called anarchists and they fall on the Left of the political spectrum.
"Another neighbor, Brandon Monroe, said the man who lived in the apartment often talked about conspiracy theories and often dressed in camouflage or as Peter Pan to work as a street performer."
The problem with the local news is they are in a hurry to outdo the other newsies and get the story out. Sadly, even the police are probably still trying to piece it all together. This seems to be a case of 2 pieces of trash targeting 2 officers because they wore a uniform. I know there are officers who use their authority for bad but that is the vast minority of officers.
I have met LEO from good to poor attitudes. Never wanted to shoot any of them for any reason. Most I know are good and decent folks doing a job. Most doing it well.
The local talking heads are not reporters any more but news "Readers" motor mouthing their way through a segment and trying to maintain ratings. I made a bet with the wife about how this would be reported. She is a news junky and supported her side. She lost.

That's exactly what I thought of the implication that being targeted as a LEO should excuse bad behavior.Seriously???
Where was it mentioned it should excuse bad behavior?
There was nothing negative in that. I just don't get the mindset that says it's okay to be a jerk because life is hard or certain circumstances exist.
I give up since you don't answer questions just stir the pot.
I pray for those officers assassinated as well as all in the LVMPD family as well as the family of the civilian killed. I hope the killers burn in hell

FYI, it is Gadsden, not Gaston.
The Gadsden flag is named after Christopher Gadsden and features a rattlesnake as did other flags and agitprop at the time of the American Revolution.
The Gaston flag is named after an Austrian dude and features a plastic pistol.
Gun Sheldon out!

I would assume because he will see this as evidence that he was right. That the greatest terrorist thread facing the country is right wingers, gun owners, Gadsden flyers, veterans, Constitution types... whatever all was on the famous DHS warning list that was issued several years ago. Since then all of the spree shooters have been nut jobs with ties to the left in some way or another.
I would think we "all" need to be wary of our surroundings. Innocent civilians become victims too!
No matter how the libtards try to spin this the fact is the more people would have no doubt been killed if not for the armed citizen. There is no other valid way to spin in. It is common sense IMO. The hero of that day was that armed citizen.
Yeah, I don't really care.FYI, it is Gadsden, not Gaston.

So very true
I would like to believe it and hope they didn't die for nothing, if that is indeed the case. Rule 1: Don't get killed. Rule 2: If you have to take a bullet or die, do it for a good reason.

Well, I for one don't mind too much if you or other cops are being a "dick" as long as you are following the laws you are supposed to enforce. But politeness is always appreciated...
On topic, it really sucks that those police officers were ambushed. The biggest problem is these nutcases always have the element of surprise going for them. I hope they give the citizen an honorable mention if he died trying to stop them. Doesn't sound like the story is clear yet. The odds have to be somewhat slim to have someone carrying at the right place, at the right time, with the right training in order to make a difference.
