    I was reading an article about this this morning and I laughed out loud when it pointed out that "almost 40 police officers have been killed in the US so far in 2020 - 8 of them ambush style like this attack."

    Oh no! 40! What a huge number! Nearly one from every State almost!

        This is why you need to use sarcasm comrade.

        "Oh yeah, much worse than all those times the police were warned before being shot."

        or

        "It's really horrible when these shooters attack someone else unsuspecting in their own car or even when running away. This kind of discrimination is disgusting."

      They blew up Micah Johnson with a robot then act like they can’t stop mass shootings

          Hey Beatnik. Basically Micah Johnson was a mass shooter that specifically targeted white cops as retaliation for police killings and they literally had some droid take him out.

              2016 I believe. It happened in Dallas, it was pretty identical to Christopher Dorner besides the ex-cop thing: Black veteran comes back to this country feeling disillusioned about American empire and then snaps after seeing police abuse their power

    Just a gang shooting. They knew the risks, they went into enemy gang territory wearing their gang colors and packing heat. It's a sad state of affairs but this is the risk you take every day being in one of LA's most notorious gangs. It's just a fact other gangs are going to want to retaliate for your gang's actions against them. And when you're the top gang all the other gangs really want to take you down.

    The lesson here is simple: Stay in school kids and don't join gangs.

    The deputies had weapons in their car, which makes the shooting justified, obviously.

      I agree, literally less than a month ago a whistleblower said the Compton office was ran by a gang called the executioners.

    One way to totally not be in that position at all is just quit your job

    This is reprehensible. What did our brave cops ever do to anyone to warrant such assaults???
