Suspect arrested in shooting of San Antonio police officer

Hot Air  . . . "So it’s looking like this was a case of a police officer being targeted for wearing the uniform. While the police officer shot was white and the shooter was black, police are not saying that race was a motive in this shooting. In fact, in the press conference announcing the arrest, the police chief said the motive for the killing was still unknown. That seems odd given that McKane seemed ready to essentially confess to the crime and the motive on his way to jail." . . .



"Officer Marconi is just one of four police officers who were shot Sunday. From the Associated Press:"
. . . Law enforcement officials say there’s been an alarming spike in ambush-style attacks. Sixty officers, including the San Antonio detective, were shot to death on the job this year, compared with 41 in all of 2015, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund. Of the 60 killed, 20 were purposely targeted by their assailant compared with eight last year, the group said. . . .
