Three Officers Killed and Several Wounded in Baton Rouge Shooting

Most likely Black Lives Supporters. Every single self-aware White Nationalist across the US (& Europe) has seen it coming a mile away. The only people surprised by this are idealistic Goodwhites who have allowed themselves to be brainwashed with ‘tolerance’ and ‘equality.’

BATON ROUGE, La. — Three law enforcement officers were fatally shot and at least three others wounded on Sunday in Baton Rouge, La., the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office said, less than two weeks after a black man was killed by the police here, sparking nightly protests.

A suspect had been killed, most likely by police gunfire, and two others, described as wearing all black, were being sought, said a police spokesman, Cpl. L’Jean McKneely.

“We do believe there is more than one suspect,” he said.

Speaking to reporters in Baton Rouge, Corporal McKneely said officers responding to the shooting were checking the area, a major thoroughfare dotted with gas stations and large discount stores, for possible explosives. “We’re going to check the scene thoroughly to protect ourselves,” he said. State and federal law enforcement are assisting in the investigation.

Sunday’s shooting is the latest episode in a month of violence and extraordinary racial tension in the country, and took place after Baton Rouge officers on July 5 fatally shot Alton B. Sterling, a black man who was selling CDs outside a convenience store. The night after Mr. Sterling was killed, a black man was killed by the police during a traffic stop in a St. Paul suburb, and then the next night, five police officers were killed by a gunman in Dallas who said he wanted to kill police officers, particularly white officers.

Details remained sketchy on Sunday afternoon, and it was unclear whether the attack on the police had been planned or happened during another crime. There were varying reports about the number of officers wounded, with one putting the number at seven.

The shooting was met here with disbelief. “It’s just crazy; we should be worried about what we’re going to leave our kids 20, 30 years from now,” said Bryce Butler, 27, a cook at the Rum House restaurant, which is near the shooting scene. “I think no one should be victimized, cops or anyone.”

“It shouldn’t have happened,” said Dan Williams, 46, an electrician. “Both incidents were sad,” he said, referring to Mr. Sterling’s death and Sunday’s shooting. He anticipates more violence.

Carol D. Powell Lexing, a lawyer for the Sterling family, said in an interview that the family did not condone the shooting of officers and that protesting police misconduct was “not all-out war on the entire Police Department.”

“No one condones violence on anyone, and we certainly don’t condone the shootings that have gone forth in Dallas and now in Baton Rouge,” she said. “It saddens our heart that we are even back to having this conversation again, having a repeat, having some type of copycat out there. We ask that there be no more copycats.”

The police in Baton Rouge had in recent days announced that they were investigating a plot by four people to shoot at police officers, and they cited the threat to explain the heavy police presence at protests.

The police said a 17-year-old was arrested after running from a burglary of the Cash American Pawn Shop in Baton Rouge. He and three others, including a 12-year-old arrested on Friday, were believed to have broken into the pawnshop through the roof. It was unclear whether the burglary was in any way connected to Sunday’s shooting.

The police chief, Carl Dabadie Jr., told reporters at the time that the 17-year-old had told the police “that the reason the burglary was being done was to harm police officers.”
