The injured agent mentioned works just down the hall from me. Another agent was injured as well. A very somber day at work today.

Wishing comfort and peace to the fallen officer's loved ones and the entire law enforcement community.

I feel bad for the cop that lost his life. Hate to hear it.

Then you have the murdering scumbag Minnesota police officer. That video makes me sick and angry. Minnesota is going ******* crazy. Look at this police state ****. Unbelievable.

That looks so ridiculous my first instinct was that it was staged. Do they seriously not know how bad this makes them look?

The initial incident in Minnesota was sick.

Wishing for the best for everyone involved in Ogden, any kids involved especially.

It's sad. Domestic violence is such a powder keg to deal with. My condolences.

To me it was the lack of communication coming from the officers. The news crew seemed willing to work with them.

Maybe staged wasn't the right word though, stunt is probably more accurate (leaving the camera guy 'til last is part of that feeling). Like it felt like the news crew had to have set that up a little bit to get that treatment (coming from my perspective/experiences), if they didn't, yeah, simply put that was out of line from the police.

We shouldn't be arresting news crews because they're reporting from the wrong side of the street (and even seem willing to move).

I was just curious because there were so many ways I could take it.

It’s impossible to not compare the protests of the past 72 hours with the protests three weeks ago and not see the inequality and injustice on full display.

Three weeks ago you had armed white protesters storm state legislatures and scream in the faces of law enforcement without so much as a whimper from them. The restraint shown by law enforcement to those clearly posing a threat was incredible. the president cheer led these protests.



look at the restraint! Think they would’ve been this tolerant of African American protesters?

We don’t need to think we know.

Compare that with the lack of restraint towards mostly african American protesters protesting police brutality. The exclamation point came early today when that african american CNN reporter was arrested for covering the death of a George Floyd while his white murderers remain free. Oh, and the president sees these protests as “thugs” who deserve to be shot.



We need to make law enforcement more attractive. We need greater investment through much higher taxation at the top of society. By increasing training and making law enforcement more attractive (higher salaries and lower hrs), we can higher better people and train them more. Right now we’re getting what we pay for... and it isn’t working out. Sure there are some good cops. But there are a lot of bad ones too because anyone talented or decently educated will be seeking a better career.

Make the job attractive, require college degrees, and raise the bar. Establishing better law enforcement to community partnerships starts with hiring police officers who respect diversity and aren’t racist.

I mean, tmk, the whites three weeks ago weren’t burning down blocks of businesses and a police station.

Law enforcement escalated this by not arresting the murderers. I mean, we have live video of the Murder. What else is needed? Arrest these guys and continue the investigation. By refusing to arrest them they’re only pouring more gas on the fire.

Then they’ve escalated things by shooting tear gas at protesters. What’s the point of this?



These protesters have every right to be upset. They’re dealing with law enforcement that seems completely deaf to the community’s concerns. I think arresting that black CNN reporter this morning shows how utterly clueless they are.

If they’re doing these sort of things on live camera, imagine what they’re doing off. Methinks we should probably judge these protesters less, understand their anger, and listen to their stories of injustice that clearly is systemic.

It’s a peaceful protest.
