of police shootings like the recent ones in LV, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Texas and Florida - Wall to wall coverage by news organizations that these ambush shootings of LEO's are increasing in numbers because the 'revolution is starting' only signals to the rest of the crazies to load up and join the fight.

Tough position to be in for DHS and LEOs.

The shootings of the NYC police by a nutty left guy was aberration, and thus allowed constant coverage for a month - because it didn't carry any danger for LEOs down the road.

How quickly did the LV, Penn, Ark, Texas, and Florida ambushed shootings by RW extremists get off the front pages and off the national 24/7 news networks? A day or 2? Week? Some were kept as local news and didn't even expand to national headlines.
