We can't rush to conclusions though!!! I hope the officers pull through but do we know what their criminal histories are? They might have been up to something nefarious when this went down. Could have been a self-defense situation. Hard to say until more of this gets uncovered.

The only criminal in the scene is the man who shot the police officers all the other allegations Can’t wait till they go to court I can’t breath ! suffocating screaming I can’t breathe, let’s think about that let’s also think about the woman that George Floyd held a gun 2

I’m glad they both survived and I hope you catch the shooter. But they were not ambushed and when there are tensions, words matter.

These are human lives we talking about, some of these comments im seeing are sickening. Idc what color your skin is or what job you have, EVERYBODY has a right to live. If these officers die because they couldn’t get to the hospital, CHARGE THESE “Protestors” WITH MURDER.
