      A white man in Florence, South Carolina just shot 5 police officers. One just died. Police then peacefully negotiated his surrender. 2 points: 1. White men continue to be the deadliest threat to American police. 2. Police almost always skillfully bring them in alive.pic.twitter.com/tM2CcabXcF

          When I heard the shooter was in custody I knew he was white.

          There’s a lot of talk about the fact that there were kids in the house. Philando Castile had a child in his CAR when he was shot by cops.

          He was using multiple small children as human shields. The police acted courageously and my community lost a brave police officer in Terrance Carraway.

          RIP Carraway. Very sad. The suspect using small children as human shields doesn’t fit some people’s agenda so it will be ignored

          When we heard about this shooting last night and they said they captured the shooter I told my husband that he must be white because had he been black he would be dead. It's sad that things are so messed up that this would even cross my mind : (

          This is so irritating. What? No SWAT? No massive amount of gunfire through walls, doors, & windows to take him out? They showed restraint in the face of several officers down? Yet unarmed Black men and boys are killed for less 😡

          Mr. King, was the murderer holding children hostage? I glanced through your article (it’s only 4:55 am here) and will read throughly later. I’m NOT defending him, but read he was holding children hostage and this was the reason for the extended negotiations. I support your work.

          “Show our communities the same restraint that you show school shooters, mall shooters, movie shooters, mass murderers, and random violent white men who shoot seven cops on a Wednesday evening. You clearly know how to show restraint.” Well states @shaunking

          They probably had a nice meal with him at Cracker Barrel before he was booked.

          "They have been trained" - it's obvious that SOME have been trained, but there are what, 750k-1.25M police officers in the U.S.? I expect most of them really do not have the training, or any intention to follow their training.
