Heard about this on the radio this morning while driving.

Also two Jacksonville FL officers were shot, one expected not to survive.

Unfortunately so.

Yet the DP and other print outlets still running White Cop Punches Black Motorist on side of front page. While regulating these attacks / murder of LE's down the bottom. 3+ hours after being reported on line.

....and that is disgusting in my opinion.

It's gotta be almost the shittiest job on the planet, yet everyone criticizes and complains about police..........until they NEED them...different story then.

When is #BLM going to be declared a terrorist group and hunted to extinction.

#BLM needs to be captured, tried, and executed when the crime warrants the death penalty. The leadership should be tried on multiple counts of conspiracy to commit murder at the very least.
