The commander of the Louisiana State Police just said that "Baton Rouge needs prayers."

No, asshole.  It needs better bullet-proof vests.

The identity of the dead shooter is a 29 year old black man, and former Marine, Gavin Long from Kansas City, Missouri. Federal and local authorities are still investigating his background.

Edit: police have determined that the dead suspect is the lone shooter and that there were no other accomplices.

A dodge of what? I'm responding to your assertion that police shootings in the US aren't an epidemic. I've given you my opinion and why I have it. Take it or leave it.

I take it that 0.021% TOTAL police shootings is an epidemic? You have more chance of catching polio.

Anyone have any thoughts as to what will happen to police responses to calls/crimes/patrols?

The cops will be more cautious. The first time they shot the media will scream "SEE!!!!" The easily led will go "YES!!! WE SEE!!!"

I think it will go farther than that. Like, "Oops, sorry, couldn't find the address" or "We drove by but didn't see a crime in progress" or "That neighborhood is out of our jurisdiction". There may be a rash of early retirements and resignations, requests for desk jobs. Don't know if this will happen, pessimist in me coming out.

Honestly? Good: there is literally no possible way in which police being more cautious and circumspect will be bad for anyone. If it takes accountability being foisted upon them by the media to get there, then I guess that's fine too.

It's like people are trying to drive off good candidates for the job. "Police are scum! They're all dirty, they're all in cohoots, they're all killers!"

People, you are going to get the police force you deserve. Sadly, the rest of us will have to live with your poor judgment.
