Two police ambushed; some protesters yell "we hope they die"

[tytlyf]

Depends on if it actually happened.

You think it never happened?

Common sense tells me it didn't happen.
1. How would BLM/Antifa know that 2 officers were shot and being transported to a hospital?
2. How would they know WHICH hospital?
3. Would BLM/Antifa be protesting in front of a hospital regardless?
4. Judge Judy taught me that if something doesn't make sense it's probably not true.

Common sense also tells me that a police ambush shooting would be huge news and lots of people knew about it before the ambulance got there.

If something doesn't make sense, another option is to investigate it.

How would a news outlet know about the shooting within 15 minutes of the ambulance arriving? I'm not denying the attempted murder, I'm denying the Fox narrative that the hospital was blocked.

You'd think a journalistic outlet would take the initiative before reporting. I heard it on Fox yesterday, no proof.

The OP's source is CBS, not Fox.
The shooting appears to be real, ie, not imagined.
That & the ability to monitor police frequencies
would explain how protestors could've quickly
learned of the hospital.

You should work on that.

1. How would BLM/Antifa know that 2 officers were shot and being transported to a hospital?

I have set up within my social networking accounts to be notified when news stories are released.
I have even signed up with several local media outlets for text messages when new reports are released.

So I have no problems understanding how someone could know not only about the shooting of two police officers, but what hospital they were sent to within hours of the incidents.

2. How would they know WHICH hospital?

News alerts often include lines such as "were sent to {insert medical facility here} by ambulance" or "were air lifted to {insert medical facility here}"

3. Would BLM/Antifa be protesting in front of a hospital regardless?

I'm sorry, but you do know what BLM/Antifa are about, right?

4. Judge Judy taught me that if something doesn't make sense it's probably not true.

You do know Judge Judge is a "reality tv" show, right?

@Saint Frankenstein , I’m sure you dont condemn all police, for the actions of a few?

That’s like hating all Muslims because of the actions of the few that are terrorists.

I had not thought of police scanners.
Here in my neck of the woods the police department uses double trunking.
So the scanners are worthless for listening into the police chatter.

As if they were all sitting in a dark room, smoking cigars and listening to the police scanner, around the clock for just that right message.

"Quick, call the BLM hotline and organize a protest quick! We've got less than 10 minutes to get there and block that ambulance before it arrives!"​

Maybe there were extraterrestrials involved?

I personally have disdain for the police as an institution as they've never helped me or my mom when we needed it and for how they treated us protesters this summer, but I don't hate every person who happens to be a cop, no.

I already stated the attempted murder was real. The hospital part being blocked is the questionable reporting. It appears the sheriff office made a tweet about it, said it's on camera. I've yet to see proof.
Until then, common sense tells me it most likely didn't happen as reported.

It was more likely weed, california you know, not cigars, and it is difficult to play cards in the dark, so that is two for two against you. and to make it even worse, you threw in aliens.

Perhaps a trip to the real world would help you?

 

[tytlyf]

I'm sorry, but you do know what BLM/Antifa are about, right?

Yes, equal rights for all people. Equal justice for all people.

You do know Judge Judge is a "reality tv" show, right?

Yes and very good at her job. I'll wait for this proof of BLM blocking hospitals.

To critical thinkers, the story doesn't make sense.

The poster wanted an explanation.
I offered one.
People buy police frequency scanners.
So it's hardly sci fi to imagine that people
monitor them.

Are you arguing that the events didn't
happen as reported?

 

[McBell]

Yes, equal rights for all people. Equal justice for all people.

Protesting the police.

Yes and very good at her job.

I completely agree.
Her job is to maintain high ratings.

As do I.
My disagreement with you is your claim of common sense when you are apparently ignorant of how fast information can be distributed in the current world.

 

[sun rise]

Interesting. I don't seem to have that problem of hatred. Even when doctors commit injustices, I still trust doctors because overall the vast majority are good doctors.... and good policemen.

I used to but there are too many bad cops that are getting exposed for me not to feel a twinge of fear every time I see one and I'm a 75-year old white male.

But I share @Jayhawker Soule 's disgust.

 

[tytlyf]

Protesting the police.

Of course, that's where a lot of this stems from. The protests start when a police officer is seen taking justice into his own hands.

I completely agree.

Correct and she's a very intelligent cookie. Regardless of TV show or not.

As do I.

I understand information. I'm questioning the timeline. That's what doesn't make sense.

How do we know for sure who are the perps? There are plenty of right-wing terrorists going after cops. And maybe even Trump agents attacking cops to stir people up before the election. How do we know it's not those agents.
