US cop killed in ‘incredibly dangerous’ riots

Two Federal Protective Service officers were shot during a protest in Oakland in California on Friday night, police told CNN. One of the officers died from his injuries.

The Federal Protective Service is controlled by the US Department of Homeland Security and secures government buildings. The report said arrests had occurred in Oakland but didn’t provide specific details. The government has called in 1700 members of the army as they try and regain control of the city, after days of rioting, looting, fires, violence and unrest.Mr Walz said officers were focused on holding their ground and weren’t in a strong enough position to move to making arrests.“I understand the rage, I understand it. We’ve talked about it. We understand what has to happen.

Minneapolis police said shots had been fired at law enforcement officers during the protests but no one was injured.

This isn’t a protest!... it’s looting and rioting.. ffs

Peaceful protests don't work!

killing someone else or causing an other killing while protesting an innocent die? if ur not frankly! AARPBlackCom

These “riots” are highly organised in a SHORT period of time... ... research George Soros - he has paid protesters in the past - he also paid and organised the caravans at the Mexican border.

This is a barbaric way to protest!! 😩😩😠😠
