On the news today, it said the shooter had no rifle training beyond basic. He was apparently a carpenter.
There were also two more "ambushes" - one in Ballwin, MO, and Valdosta, GA. The first was at a traffic stop and the cop was shot in the back. Last report was that he was in critical but stable condition.
The cop shot in Georgia was reporting to what turned out to be a false 911 call and was ambushed as well. I have not heard about his condition.

LOL. True, but don't knock basic. I figure if a boot does well, he's far better off than 99% of the general public. Sure, I figure guys who went on to AIT in a combat MOS would be way WAY better. But at least he knows the basics. Besides from what I've seen, the ambush didn't require any sort of advance field craft or tactical training. He was just ambushing unsuspecting guys from cover.

If they're home grown Black muslims, then, those black guys who flock to that "Nation of Islam" crap aren't really jihadists, but are actually more like Black Supremacists. They're not motivated by the dreams of a Caliphate like the Goat fuckers. They're just a black version of the KKK. I don't see them blowing themselves up to martyrdom. But Black Supremacist attack? That's entirely possible.
That's true but who posts videos of positive interactions with cops? I bet I saw 10 cop cars yesterday and had no interaction with them at all. To bad we can't post a video of each of the thousands or perhaps tens or even hundreds of thousands of interactions that occur daily where nothing bad occurs.
It reminds me of all the shit you see about the LGBT community. With everything you hear about the gays on TV and in congress you'd think they were the largest segment of our population. They even did a survey where people responded that the LGBT population in the U.S. was at least 40-50%. It's actually some where between 1.2-6.8%. Because the heard and saw so much about it, way out of proportion to the segment of the population the information represents they all just assumed there are more of them then there are, way more.
Same with police videos. If you do some google searches there must surely be a few thousand incidents every day, maybe thousands every hour! The fact is it's probably more like one or two incidents a day if not a week but no one would find that interesting or scary or something we need to spend millions of taxpayer dollars to investigate and correct. Police corruption does exist but what most people don't realize is that it always has. It's just that now it's the "reason" people act a certain way, in other words it's the reason they aren't responsible for their actions just like every other liberal agenda item. It's not their fault but the government can fix it.

There's a rumour going about that the Dallas shooter(s), the Pulse nightclub guy, the guy who tried to shoot Trump with a cop's gun and the guy arrested in Cali with the ar15s and tannerite for the gay parade all took a seminar by a Florida imam who is ex US military. Also there's a rumour to be wary of assassination if getting gas at night at a gas station, if you're white that is. And another rumour that violence is planned for this Friday in multiple large US cities, to begin promptly at 7pm.
