Now a copycat in Tennessee

Authorities in Tennessee say a man who opened fire on a highway in Tennessee targeted police officers and others because he was troubled by incidents involving black people and law enforcement officers.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says in a news release that initial conversations with the suspect, identified as Lakeem Keon Scott revealed he was troubled by incidents across the U.S. The TBI says the suspect is black; the shooting victims are all white.

Minnesota? Yes.

Not Louisiana?

Cops had that guy secured.

Why pump four bullets into him?

Cops need more training.

Pentagon budget was 600 BILLION.

Obama's initiative for training cops was lucky to get 6 MILLION.

We can't send our LEO's out with substandard training and expect them to deal with homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction, on and on, and then jump on them when they (sometimes) fail.

That's not to say that cops shouldn't be held accountable.

But, imagine you're black - your experience is that cops won't be held accountable for shooting and killing black men, women, and children.

That's real.

BLM isn't saying that black lives matter more than other lives, just that black lives should matter as much as other lives.

If "black lives matter" then black lives need to stop doing stupid crap like assaulting police, aiming BB guns at police, carrying firearm(s) as a known felon and an assortment of other things.

How did I make it to almost retirement age without doing any of the aforementioned acts?
