Imagine that, getting shot while trying to invade someone's castle. 
When cops think they can just keep marching on the danger, and the danger will just surrender, maybe it's time for them to realize their tactics are bad. It happens over and over, and the top brass just gets to use the pile of bodies as propaganda.
Also, 
Yea saw a video on reddit from the shooting earlier, sure looked like one of the officers was using a chain link fence for cover.
Video games taught me fences work
Guess we gotta give them credit for not covering their eyes to employ the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" strategy
Cops getting killed because they tried to take their guns. Seems pretty reasonable. 
Isn't this what they keep telling me the second amendment is for, in case of a tyrannical government?
one for every dead oinker
Police say they were killed by a "high powered rifle"
Would be delicious if it was an AR15
Oh man that's a favorite bullshit phrase of theirs to make it sound like they're in so much danger!
When the truth is that basically every rifle caliber is "high power"
I didn't know they made a rifle variant Browning automatic pistol.
Well, that is an assortment of words that made me positively drenched; and I want a dozen.
Yep it's an AR15
For more emphasis fuckery, technically the AR15 only fires a 22 caliber bullet
Skill issue.
Uncritical support to comrade wounds. 
Wounds 🫡
Congratulations to everybody involved in the situation for getting exactly what they've vocally supported for years.
They didn't want to even mandate background checks on any gun sales they could. Unbelievably that resulted in people with violent criminal history's still having unlimited access to firearms. Thank God the violent armed person pointed the gun in the right direction for once.
My friends have yelled at me for saying I sympathize with the guy defending from pigs in a similar incident smh. At least you guys know when to pull out the crabs.
lmaooo piggies owned!!!
Please be 8! That's my lucky number!
eight dead police
four for hope and four for peace 🎶
gotta wonder how many of these officers were shot by their own peers because lol
Wound-involved incident
fuck around: scream at a generation of americans that it's a fundamental right to have weapons and you must defend that right with your life
find out:
Seeing the US' absurd gunculture circlejerk blow back on the country's bonehead thugs feels so good.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
