I bet secret service can pre-empt Ohio law
Domestic terrorist organization ...... BLM. Do what we want or we'll kill you. Sounds like a terrorist group to me.

I bet you're right... but I also bet there will be a few 10th Amendment supporters out there to challenge their pre-emptions.
Thanks for your service. Yours is a job that I dont envy. I definitely share your sentiment.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, no matter what the public position is or what events are unfolding, the government must support the police.

In before the "police work isn't dangerous" crowd.
According to Huffington Post and one other news source: Gunfire between at least 2 individuals prior to the arrival of police. Suspected drug deal gone bad. Police arrival intensified shooting into a gun battle.
May not have been an "ambush". May (probably) has nothing to do with BLM.

Basic counter ambush is "turn and burn." It loses its violence of action if you say "hey, let me get in my trunk right quick and grab my patrol rifle."
The second car on scene can possibly afford that time, but the first officer is probably stuck with whatever he is carrying at the time.
So there might be a need for changing training on exactly how these situations are approached.
But unless the attacker is truly inept, you are going to lose people in an ambush. That is the tragic reality.
This madness needs to end.

Just like all violence, LE deaths have been on the decline for quite a while now (2001 being a major anomaly).
Additionally, there were 69 officer deaths in the first 7 months of 2015 (out of 130 total). We were at 63 in the first 7 of 2016.
So, is 2016 going to be a major spike, or a media-driven pseudo-spike? Much like "all violent crime", and the media doing their best to convince us it is actually on the rise?
Now, that said, targeting cops is seriously bad. Not only is it simply deplorable, it also will have EXACTLY the opposite effect as the anti-cop groups intend. Do they really think that LE will simply back down? Or will they up-armor even more?
The tin-foiler in my thinks certain groups/individuals are intentionally stirring up unrest, at the cost of a few lives here and there, to further their own goals. BLM and the like are simply useful idiots.
Prayers to these officers/deputies and their families. No one should have to go through this.

NO, you are NOT !!!!! As a Legal, Licensed, Law Abiding, Armed Citizen, I feel the same way, you do .....
I have carried, OC, CC MORE in the past 7 years, than I have ever B4 .....
I am Head of Security at my Church, and I carried there, today, for the first time !!!!!
Just didn't feel the need to ..... Last Sun., a stranger was sitting in a car, and the pastors daughter
was afraid to walk across the parking lot .....
She texted her mother, and left .....
I was made aware of this after Service, so now I will carry, to all Church functions .....

Well, all we've seen from you is your opinion. At least they have a quote from a witness. sheesh
Anyone who thinks/says this, is a ****ing idiot that needs throat-punched 17 times a day.
AR-type is a way for the media to continue the "AR-15 assault weapons bad" demonization even when they don't know what the weapon is. It is basically the same thing as their switch to "military-style" weapons terminology. The more vague, the more it seems to the uneducated public that any rifle is bad.
