A tale of two police ambushes

Two other police officers lost their lives earlier this month; one in St; Louis and another in Los Angeles county. All suspects except the shooter in LA county, were believed to have targeted police.

It is this sort of incendiary rhetoric that most affects those who are already violent and mentally unstable.
