DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Two Des Moines area police officers were shot to death early Wednesday in ambush-style attacks while they were sitting in their patrol cars, and police are searching for suspects, authorities said.
The shootings follow a spate of police killings, including ambushes of officers in Dallas and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Five officers were killed in Dallas on July 7 and three were killed later that month in Baton Rouge.
"There is a clear and present danger to police officers," Parizek said
These men were shot in two different locations in their police cars. Someone is executing them just for being police officers.
The anti-police rhetoric and violence by BLM and others must stop.

The irony of course is that this staunch defender of American rights was of course waving around the flag of an entity that had proclaimed itself to be a separate sovereign nation engaged in battle AGAINST the United States.
But in any case, I think that Trump has created an environment where people believe that they have the right to demand that those who have a different opinion about out country be harassed and arrested. That is why I think this action is pertinent to his campaign and the vitriol he spews at his rallies.
I don't know, to me, that environment exists in the heads of these sickos and if Trump wasn't there it would just manifest itself in some other way. I just see assassination as being a whole different thing than mere political mud-slinging.
I agree. This nonsense has to stop right now. LEO are our last line of defense in a civilized society. Just out and out murdering of police should be a separate hate crime type deal where they really throw the book at you. Maybe it's already that way, IDK.

Opps....
Making broad based negative generalizations about millions of people that you don't know, never met nor had any dealings with. You demonstrate the same qualities as those you accuse.
But you are entitled to opinion as long as you don't try to present it as fact.

You mean like making broad based negative generalizations about 11,000,000 illegal immigrants that the man making the statements doesn't know, never met? Like that?
The liars would be the people saying he won't correct it, because the reporter who tweeted did post an update 2 hours ago acknowledging it was the mother's house but I hadn't seen that.
However, based on what else his known about this person and his family, I still believe him to be a Trump supporter and have seen zero evidence to the contrary.

Dear, they are here illegally.
Illegal means breaking the law. You even used the word.

Rest in peace to Officers Justin Martin and Officer Anthony Beminio.
