Was he the one that got shot at the gas station?

No. Different case. Saw somebody driving erratically. Pulled him over and was shot as he walked up to the truck.

Sgt. Scott Lunger....

Oh, okay. I was gonna say a friend of mine on Steam works as security guard not far from where that occurred, and he actually told me about it before it hit the news. He said he doesn't put his uniform on until he gets to work to avoid being mistaken for a police officer for this very reason.

At first I thought it sounded a bit paranoid, but after this? Nah, he may have a point there.

How many cops have been killed in the last week?

Clearly this is SJW manufactured outrage and blacks being disproportionately killed by police is a myth.

Yeh but see, you're doing it right now.
This is a cop who got shot.
This isn't the time for you to bring up that shit.
The fact blacks get disproportionately murdered by police does not mean all police are shit, and does not mean black people should revel in the opportunity to be dicks to the police, especially to police who are murdered. It makes it seem like you don't actually give a fuck about people being murdered, but more about YOUR people being murdered.
That's precisely the kind of SJWist attitude that's the problem here and in other places.

A more interesting question is how much time in the media has been devoted to talking about murdered cops, and how often would cops hear about those murders themselves and discuss them, and does this effect their perception of the situation.

Hey, if it's convenient for people to associate the New Black Panthers with the original Black Panthers for their political agendas...

For all we know... it might just make the problem worse as the police will start thinking most black people are like the BLM.

No idea, but this is the second one I've heard of from Texas.

Like they were thinking positively of blacks before BLM.

It'll just escalate tensions more until there is a race riot.
Which will promptly piss off more working class whites, confirm to the police that blacks are just violent by nature, and impoverish black communities even more.
It's such a clusterfuck.

Yeah, while this was certainly disgraceful on the part of those specific protestors, I somehow doubt that all members of the BLM movement would act in such a way. And let's not forget that the issues of institutionalized racism and police brutality which spawned BLM are still as prevalent as ever.

These people are more concerned with getting their 15 minutes of fame then fighting for civil rights. They disgust me, and they are doing an injustice to all African-Americans.

Because obviously every cop in this nation of 300 million people is a racist. *nods*

Just because the media is paying extra special attention to these specific cases doesn't make it prevalent.

Not to mention, the media doesn't even care if they're actually cases of racism or police brutality, and just like to spin those rumors whenever a black guy is killed by a white cop.

There's enough of them if it's still a persistent problem.

Well we do have a history of it. Look at the treatment of the Native Americans, Africans, Italians, Poles, Irish, Germans, Japanese, Chinese......
