What were cops before? Calm and patient? Can you imagine if the cops were hasty in the Tamir rice story?Nah not sissy. But u a fool if you think this won't make cops more the edge. The ones that wasn't on the edge, they are now because this is happening to often now.
Officials have confirmed that three law enforcement officers have died and several others were injured during an early morning shooting on Airline Highway near Old Hammond Highway in Baton Rouge. They also say one suspect is dead and believe two others may still be at large.
A witness described hearing at least 25 to 30 gunshots in the area of the B Quick store on Airline Hwy. It started shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
“I walked out into the street to see what was going on, there was a man lying in the street," the witness said. "I assume he was dead because he wasn’t moving."
The witness tells us the shooting started before police arrived.
“This was not a come at police shooting," the witness said. "There were men out here shooting at each other before police ever got here.”
Investigators are working to determine how many shooters were possibly involved.
Officers with the Baton Rouge Police Department and the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Office both responded to the scene. Law enforcement officers with both agencies were struck during gunfire.
The scene was contained shortly after 10 a.m., but it is still an active area. Officials are asking the public to avoid the area and to contact law enforcement if you see anything suspicious around your area.
Tensions have been high between member of the Baton Rouge community and law enforcement since Alton Sterling was shot and killed by police July 5.

“We have to heal from this hurt,” said Rep. C. Denise Marcelle. “I’m calling upon everyone to pray today and to cease protests.”
"Pray for what, cease for what"
Folks are tired of the bs, and saying fuck the police...
^^^Fuck the police, support black banks and build your economy
You don't play cops and robbers with live rounds on a Sunday morning?wait hold up so there was shooting at each other before the cops came????? that early in the morning???? Very very Odd
I dunno about those other places, but i know a little about Baton Rouge and Louisiana dudes in general.
Them dudes there do not care. I think if those officers get off or if a grand jury fails to indict, there will be hell to pay. They will literally burn that city down.
I think u miss understand what I'm saying, all cops are not trigger happy. Those cops are the ones that will turn trigger happy now.What were cops before? Calm and patient? Can you imagine if the cops were hasty in the Tamir rice story?

If you're going to get life for jay walking, whst are they going to get you for murder. May as well do you, since the justice system will be doing them.The crib got some real hard heads that define the phrase ride or die. This thing will get real ugly before it gets better.

I'm pissed. I meant to get up at like 10:30, its 12:30 and I'm just now waking up. Ain't that a bitch. Slept away my damn Sunday
Not smart. Once you use violence you just validated why cops should shoot first.We can fight in both fronts!
And that's not true. We have the advantage being the minority, as well as being so spread out and mixed in.
Micah X. Johnson was a veteran, he served his country. But did his country serve him?
What can you really say bad about him? How can you profile someone like that to prevent it from happening?
You can't without violating EVERYONE'S rights!
And that's the goal, to make EVERYONE uncomfortable enough to take notice and make changes so EVERYONE's rights are observed & respected!
They were shooting first to begin with. So they skip the formalities, our meetings were informal anyway.Not smart. Once you use violence you just validated why cops should shoot first.
I just drove thru Baton Rouge bout to be in Lafayette. On I 12 I seen bout 3-4 unmarkeds wit they flashers on speedin like a mofo. They got airline highway blocked off.
Fa sho. They are already killing us. There should be consequences. I said it long ago. I am tired of the protest, and words of condolences for the family.If you're going to get life for jay walking, whst are they going to get you for murder. May as well do you, since the justice system will be doing them.
Nah not sissy. But u a fool if you think this won't make cops more the edge. The ones that wasn't on the edge, they are now because this is happening to often now.
The dallas shooting suspect wrote "RB" on the wall in blood before he was killed.
RB......BR (Baton Rouge)
He gave out the next target.
I just got finished mowing my lawn.... Shoulda used my rider though. Its hot as fuck out there...
and then on the flip side you have more cops getting shot.....the gun laws are wide open so there will be a back and forthNot smart. Once you use violence you just validated why cops should shoot first.
Man I had five yards to do later this evening but the rain is coming down, fucking up my money.
