NewsWakisha Media seem to run on autopilot with the decades long tag “no motive, no suspect”. If this news outlet and others go back in their archives and count how many times that tag has been used, perhaps they will produce a special called “No Motive, No Suspect” asking city leaders why.

NewsWakisha RIP young man. My sympathies to the officer and his family.

NewsWakisha Sadly, my first thought on hearing about the shooting was that it was targeted. I blame Democrats for this. They were so busy supporting BLM rioters/looters they didn't care that they were condoning criminal behavior. Now people hate cops and think it's okay to be criminals. Bad
