Baton Rouge shooter identified, and his belief system is no surprise
The killer is black separatist and former Marine Gavin Long, who murdered three police officers and wounded three more on his 29th birthday, and was in turn killed. He was also a former member of the Nation of Islam and railed against the police, “crackers,” and several other ethnic groups in his Facebook account.
Here are photos of the three murdered officers:
You will notice that one of the slain men is black, as was the perpetrator. This incident reminds me of the shooting of another black officer by black power separatists and members of the BLA, the murder of police officers Greg Foster (along with his partner Rocco Laurie) in New York City in 1972, which I wrote about several times, including in this 2014 post.
So this speculation about the Baton Rouge killing is just plain wrong:
Law enforcement officials said Sunday that the shooting does not appear to have been race-related. At least one of the officers killed in the attack was black.
Greg Foster was black, and his shooting was absolutely “race-related.” Black officers are seen by killers like these as the enemy, as betrayers who are working with the white man to oppress black people.
You can read about the police officers who were killed in Baton Rouge here and here.
And then there’s President Obama:
It may be too late to stop this fire from spreading. But Obama has one more chance to try to put it out. He failed that opportunity in his remarks hours after the Baton Rouge carnage, delivering instead an anodyne call to heal “our divisions” and discard “inflammatory rhetoric thrown around to advance an agenda.” Implication: Blame for “inflammatory rhetoric” is equally shared by those who attack cops and those who defend them. Sorry, Mr. President, those who tell the truth about crime and policing are not part of the problem and they bear no responsibility for the massacre of cops. The killing of cops is furthered exclusively by those peddling a false narrative that cops harbor lethal bias toward blacks. Obama should call for the Black Lives Matter movement to fold its tent””and he himself should start telling the truth about inner-city crime.
I watched a number of the shooter’s videos when they were still up on YounTube. He struck me as a hater of whites and someone who fully bought into today’s identity politics. He was a member of the Nation of Islam. He also probably was a member of BLM. He spent time in Africa. A Black Nationalist. What Obama teaches, he bought.
The Black subculture is sick. Obama and the Dems feed it and profit from it.

“It may be too late to stop this fire from spreading. But Obama has one more chance to try to put it out….”
The author acts as if Obama is a fool and really wants to “stop this fire from spreading” whereas many of us think he is a knave who has deliberately set the fire.
That Facebook post from Montrell Jackson brought me to tears. What a profile in courage he was. Heartbreaking.
Obama is all about politics and radical politics at that. He needs the hatred to gin up black voters to go out and vote for their oppressors once more. Giving them time to think about who their friends really are would be counterproductive.
It’s good to see someone, and not just a talking head but a black police chief, speak about the real truth of BLM and black crime. You’re going to start seeing a lot of that now that Trump paved the way for speaking the truth regardless of political correctness, and it will be about evertything, not just race.

The Democrats, the Casa Blanca and the MSM pander egregiously to BLM, falsely portraying it as a “civil rights” movement, when it is, in fact, a well-funded cult, built on lies and a complete disregard for civilized norms of behavior, while combining the worst elements of black nationalism with the worst elements of revolutionary Marxism in its ideology.
Cornhead and j e have the right of it.

Most may have seen it by now, but Victor Davis Hanson has a column on the subject. This excerpt, printed at http://www.urgentagenda.com, is chilling because it annotates actions that Obama has engaged in.
Quote from VDH.
In future presidential editorialization about the shooting deaths of police officers, perhaps the president himself might first offer a few “words matter” gestures that would reassure law enforcement, to use another Obama phrase, that he “has their back.” Here are just three low-bar proposals for how to discourage those who glorify or advocate lethal violence against criminal-justice officers:
No longer invite into the White House any leaders whose affiliated members have marched chanting their desire to kill police officers (e.g., “What do we want? Dead cops” / “Pigs in a blanket; fry ’em like bacon”).
Do not consult with any self-appointed leader in the White House whose past has included overt and implicit calls to shoot police officers (e.g., Al Sharpton: “I believe in offing the pigs. Well, they got pigs out here. You ain’t offed one of them. What I believe in, I do. Do what you believe in. Or shut up and admit you’ve lost your courage and your guts to stand up”).
Do not invite into the White House any artists whose work has glorified the killing of officers of the criminal-justice system (e.g., Lamar Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly album, one of whose songs was dubbed by Obama as his favorite of 2015), whose cover depicts a group of African-American youth celebrating with champagne and cash on the White House lawn over the corpse of a white judge with his eyes X-ed out).
I don’t think that is too much to ask of the president of the United States – and perhaps such simple gestures might do a lot more for police reconciliation than the usual Obama summits and community “dialogues.”
We will see the left wage sjw war at the RNC and DNC conventions. I hope no other LEOs die at the hands of the thugs. I also hope they have pushed too far and we see 100% of black LEOs push back and call out bho for the agitator that he is
I wonder today how many LEOS (white and black) would be willing to take a bullet for Obama.
Clark was calling it like it is before this election cycle
Oldflyer,
Trump needs to ask Hillary if she supports those actions by Obama. By briefly briefly describing Obama’s actions, they are exposed to a wider audience and they force her to either disavow Obama’s actions or endorse them.
Dons,
Clark???
Expecting DJT to seize such an opportunity and express a coherent train of thought that goes beyond fifteen words is an expectation not based in reality or logic.
But then again pigs might fly.
Obama.
A trash act.
The foundational event for BLM is really Ferguson, with apologies to Trayvon. Obama knows the facts of Ferguson. The DOJ conducted its own investigation including autopsy and sworn depos, none of which corroborated a single aspect of Dorian Johnson’s lies. Every bit of actual evidence backed Darren Wilson. Yet he snidely implies otherwise, greasily conflating the investigation of the PD which found a couple emails with racist jokes and declared The Birth of a Nation therefrom. A new Nation is aborn from these lies alright. It is a nation of utterly dependent savages who, if they aren’t cannibals today, certainly enjoy the smell of charred flesh.

Good to see my prior view of BLM and Black Panther/Nation of Islam connections panned out.
This guy was on the same Islamic religious seminary online course as Mateen, the one in Orlando.
The other thing people should be aware of is that Dallas murderer trained himself in a specific type of shooting. Tactical move and shoot, one movement. He had 2 years to teach himself that, after taking some initial classes from civilian trainers.
That means had he survived, he might have been capable of teaching 500 other BLM terrorists, the same thing.
A person with this tactical shooting method, can go into cover, as they are shooting. Thus making it improbable that average LEO marksmanship can hit them, especially using pistols.
Here’s the natural counter to people who told me that “the government has tanks, you can’t do anything with your stupid guns”.
Infantry can do a lot of things with guns that most Normals cannot imagine, especially sucking up Hussein’s money juice.
