Two police officers killed in Des Moines in ‘ambush-style attacks’[W:74]

Past history of violence
Scott Michael Greene was convicted in combative 2014 encounters
Greene was “noncompliant, hostile, combative and made furtive movements toward his pockets” before the arrest, Officer Chris Greenfield wrote in the complaint. Greene pleaded guilty to the charge about two weeks later.

The complaint does not indicate why officers initially came into contact with Greene. But two days later he reportedly threatened to kill a man in the parking lot of the same apartment complex and he was charged with first-degree harassment, according to another complaint.

In that incident, Greene was accused of approaching a man in the parking lot and shined a flashlight in his eyes. Greene, who lived in the apartments, called the man the N-word and told the man “I will kill you, (expletive) kill you,” according to the complaint. Greene pleaded guilty to a lesser harassment charge on June 30, 2014, and was sentenced to one year of probation.
 
Please. Don't act surprised.

I don't have much contact with Brewdog, we seem to spend time in different forums.

It'll be even less moving forward as I have ignored him.
 
I don't believe a white person would do this.

I mean, it wasn't a school shooting so you wouldn't immediately jump to "white", right?

Meh, I deleted that post anyway. Getting worked up about online racists is so 2008.

I don't know what a "compendium" is, but if I did I would no longer add racists to such a thing because in my purely hypothetical experience, those racists absolutely love the attention.

Hypothetically, of course.

I'm going to hazard a guess that he hangs out in the Conspiracy Theory sub-forum? Every time someone like Brewdog shows up in the Breaking News section I just assume some careless person left the gate open.
 
No one even caught that Trayvon and Obama were in those photos.

Sorry to break this to you, but 'didn't comment on post that looked like it was by a not too bright 12 year old troll' =/= didn't catch that the post included those two.

Pretty ironic statement by him:

In the comments of one of the videos, Greene wrote, “I was offended by the blacks sitting through our anthem. Thousands more whites fought and died for their freedom. However this is not about the Armed forces, they are cop haters.”

And of course he protested "the blacks" sitting during the anthem by bringing a Confederate flag into the stadium. Guess he was just celebrating his "southern heritage" or something.

Pretty ironic statement by him:

I think this irony is a pattern in a wide variety of such shooters. Small time street criminals become sharia Jihaders- even though in a sharia system they themselves would be limbless, unemployable white racists become super patriots- then murder police officers, wannabe gangsters become black nationalist who butcher the Swahili language- then murder a dark complected immigrant in a robbery....
 
Sick.

An environment has been created where this has become the norm.

God Bless the families of these officers.

Agreed... God Bless the families of these officers but, not the Gov't officials who created this environment.
 
That environment is one of entitlement
Is it? Do you really think so and what exactly does that mean? Is it like one of the celebrities who demands that only blue M&Ms be served in the dressing room and that only Evian water at a certain temperature be served because she is entitled, because by far ordinary folks that I have met over many years are more than willing to work and earn their keep, but really object to being screwed over by those who constantly bitch about entitlements? That freeloaders and abusers exist, that is without question, but they have always existed and will exist and are a minority and the exception.

and WE have created it by rushing to correct social ills that took centuries to create
So what do you propose as an alternative? Not addressing the problems or taking centuries to solve?

via social welfare programs started under the New Deal, and quick fix programs in the 60's and 70's.
Such as?

Now we have whole swathes of people who think they are entitled to a job, entitled to high pay, entitled to be taken care of, entitled to be treated specially if they can identify as "oppressed," entitled to not be offended, and entitled to act out violently or aggressively whenever they feel aroused to do so; in each case expecting society to adhere to and support such demands.
You are buying into fear mongering talking points. If anything it is the opposite, big money and business who thinks that they are entitled to a free reign, tax breaks and laws that protect them.
 
since this happened in Des Moines, I'm gonna say this was a "sovereign citizen" and not a Black Lives Matter type of attack. I would love to see Sovereign Citizens and BLM work together to get into wacky anti-government hijinx. I'm going to hell.
 
I love how these tragedies turn into racism.

And by that I mean on both sides. Conservatives thought he'd be black. Liberals are so happy he's white.

2 police officers were killed. The vast majority of these killings are not racially motivated, but are turned racists by people after the fact. Leave race out of it.
 
Sick.

An environment has been created where this has become the norm.

God Bless the families of these officers.

Let's see what the President says about it.

Did you get those pictures from Stormfront? The reason I ask this is because the shooter was a white man.

EDIT: Looks I was beat to this by a baker's dozen of DP'ers and a partridge in a pear tree.

I've spent the last few hours crying and talking to my mom about this. She assured me that everything would be ok one day eventually. Time heals everything.
 
Moderator's Warning:
Cut out the trolling and stick to the OP.
 
Lets see what Donald Trump has to say about this. His rhetoric could be a cause for this horrific, senseless shooting.
