[mobeau69]

No details yet.

[backtoblue]

1. No no no!

Please tell me this is not happening.

[LovingA2andMI]

26. It's Happening...

Either it's Another Kyle Rittenhouse or Folks Are Just Plain FUCKING TIRED. Either way, it's Happening. Get Prepared.

[VarryOn]

2. I really thought Louisville could set an example nt

[mobeau69]

5. All it takes is one idiot.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. How do we know it was "our" side.

Could be the right-wing loons that want to give Trump something to take the high ground.

[mobeau69]

11. Yep, that was my first thought.

[Rice4VP]

45. Just like how it was law enforcement

that shot that Black business owner in Louisville and Fox tried to pin it on BLM

[Stinky The Clown]

3. There could not be better news for Trump today.

[cwydro]

7. This.

Damn it.

[mobeau69]

8. You can bet his salivating over the violence.

[RayTy]

10. not sure how you could mean that this is all on the orange coward

[rockfordfile]

47. What does that have to do with two innocent policemen being shot?

[nolabear]

4. Must not be bad. They're having a commercial. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Bettie]

9. Probably by one of those white supremacist gang members

Seriously, I would not be even a little bit surprised if one of those assholes did it to start some shit.

[Miigwech]

18. They did it, or is there a creepy kid named kyle running around?

[Bettie]

21. There's always a creepy kid named Kyle

somewhere!

[Tercules]

30. No. Regg Incognito caught the whole thing on stream. You can see it, for now...

while he's still streaming (you can rewind). Around 8:20pm he points out several guys with extended clip handguns (he mentions they're black). He follows them for a while, pointing out they're trying to escape the police cordon. Then around 8:45 the cops start approaching and fire pepper spray. Right after, the shots are fired. Regg states that he saw them aim at the cops, not into the air.

He said he's going to the hotel soon, so watch it while you can.

[rockfordfile]

50. I don't even know who the hell you're?

Next who the f is regg? is he some right-wing pos?

[Tercules]

57. He's been one of the more prolific livestreamers covering the protests for months.

Definitely not right wing. He's black and fully on board with BLM.

[Dennis Donovan]

12. There are RW terrorists roaming the streets *armed* to the teeth, and then unarmed protesters

Unless the cop was hit with a tuna fish can, my $$$'s on the armed RW terrorists trying to instigate a race war.

IMO.

[Fullduplexxx]

13. This will be used to push get rid of the ballots out of the spotlight

[Gore1FL]

14. I hope no wall was damaged.

There are serious consequences to damaging property....

[Bev54]

15. Two officers shot and are in hospital

[Roland99]

16. I was watching almost all of the protests

And it was peaceful

One car appeared to swerve at protesters on broadway

There were some fireworks

Had to do some remote troubleshooting for work and missed the last 20min or so

Ugh

It’s been so peaceful!

[Mike 03]

17. Yes, it happened on this livestream someone posted.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214122447

I've been glued to it. There was a massive response to something, and the narrator kept yelling "Officer down!"

Also, you can listen to the police scanner here:

[Bayard]

19. 2 cops shot and in hospital now

I'm thinking someone sent in to do this specifically.

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

20. Per my buddy I am playing Minecraft with

Multiple shootings are being reported over the Louisville PD scanner. Possible 2nd officer down. Officers are being told to grab their lethal shotguns and rifles now. Sounds like its gonna be a bad night.

[NYCButterfinger]

22. This gives Trump and the police unions an edge

[superpatriotman]

23. Could be cop on cop

The Louisville police tend to shoot wildly, allegedly

[Baclava]

24. TWO police officers shot now, its open war!

[cwydro]

34. I've not seen that anywhere but here.

Let's not spread rumors.

[Totally Tunsie]

37. Rachel is covering it...two officers.

[cwydro]

39. I was watching her when she was talking to Schiff, but changed to Cuomo.

He said they're waiting on an update.

I'll wait to hear it from a good source. Don Lemon still saying one officer, but a press conference is coming up. Hopefully, they'll tell us.

I hope no one has been killed.

[Totally Tunsie]

46. Now being covered on Lawrence O'Donnell.

[cwydro]

49. They got it now on Lemon. Saw the press conference.

Two shot, but no one killed.

This violence is not a good thing.

[LovingA2andMI]

25. Umm...

So It Begins #NAFC

[RayTy]

38. whats nafc

[Totally Tunsie]

48. I had to look it up, but it stands for

the Not Fucking Around Coalition.

[RayTy]

55. thanks!

[Totally Tunsie]

52. It's NFAC. Apparently their leader can't get

the initials straight!

https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/22/black-armed-militia-says-its-only-concern-is-justice-breonna-taylor-comes-peace-louisville/

Grand Master Jay, also known as John Fitzgerald Johnson, is the leader of the group and said the NFAC’s only concern is the movement for justice in the Breonna Taylor case. Taylor was shot dead by LMPD officers serving a warrant at her home back in March.

Jay said its members are coming to Louisville in peace and have no intention of creating or adding more chaos to what the city already has seen. He said the NFAC is an organized group, not a mob. He said at times the group feels its appearance is necessary to spread a particular message. In this instance, it’s showing its concern about justice for Taylor and other victims of officer brutality, as well as police reform.

”The NAFC has been misrepresented by many on social media and so forth, and we’re here to end those theories,” Jay said. “We’re not here to cause chaos. There have been rumors we’re coming to hunt people down. Again we are simply exercising our constitutional rights to assemble and bear arms.”

53. .....

And others are making Plans....

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

27. i've got one question

what color are these officers?
suspect that will tell us who did the shooting. or why.

[Brother Buzz]

28. Blue

I'm not intending to be snarky, but they all belong to the same club.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

29. not where i come from.

black and white matters in most police forces these days.

[Brother Buzz]

51. Maybe between individual policemen, but....

to the public, they all look the same dressed in dark tactical riot gear, including helmets with face masks..... at night.

[cwydro]

41. These cops are wearing full riot gear. I doubt anyone can tell the color of any of them.

I think that really is not relevant at this point.

"That will tell us who did the shooting..." Are you actually being serious here?

[rockfordfile]

42. Why would you ask that? Hopefully they catch the pos

[cwydro]

62. Well, now we know.

One officer was black, one was white.

There ya go.

[Calculating]

31. What a mess this case was

Honestly the blame 'mostly' lies with the bad laws which sent the cops out to conduct a no-knock raid over drugs. The cops were simply doing their job when a citizen started shooting at them(an understandable reaction to unknown intruders in your house at night), and Breona was caught in the crossfire. It's one of those "everybody loses" situations, where the best course of action is to simply make sure no-knocks are never conducted over drugs again.

[Snake Plissken]

32. Four years of Trump wasn't enough, they're trying to hand him another four

These protests are a dream come true for anyone who wants Republicans to continue controlling our government

[LisaL]

33. They are happening with Trump as president, yet somehow others are to blame?

NT

[Snake Plissken]

35. All that matters in the end result

These protests are not just helping Trump, they are significantly helping him and the entire GOP.

[rockfordfile]

43. Yes

[budkin]

59. This is 100% on the police

People will only take so much abuse before they say "enough."

[gulliver]

36. These protests need to end. Just vote. Protests mean less than nothing.

[Blue_true]

44. There are a lot of people here that get jacked up about the idea of street protests.

I remember the lyrics from a song “what a field day for the heat, a thousand people in the street”. All protests do are result in arrests and electing republicans. People need to fucking learn at some point.

[Calculating]

54. agreed

The protests are accomplishing nothing at this point other than driving people to vote for the 'law n order' republicans. If people want change they need to VOTE OUT THE REPUBLICANS. Nothing else will accomplish anything productive.

[budkin]

60. You better believe I'm taking to the streets

If Trump tries to steal this election.

[Roland99]

40. What's interesting is that the entire area near the shooting wasn't swarmed

There’s an FBI presence in downtown Louisville and national Guard too

And people have continued to stream up and down broadway and near the courthouse

[ecstatic]

56. Nobody deserves to be shot or killed. I hate to ask this,

But was the police officer who was shot a whistleblower or one of the good cops? Unfortunately, I'm at the point where I view police departments as a collection of gangs who are willing to kill their own members if it helps set a better narrative for them.

[budkin]

58. Thoughts and prayers

[Dr. Strange]

61. Suspect arrested
