it always seems to be the actions of a few that ruin everything for everyone.

Shooting at police just set that county back 50 years in community policing. If i was black and lived in that area id be looking to move somewhere north like its 1865.

I'm not so sure about that. It's not a good thing to be shooting at police, but I can see the possibilities of good coming from the bad.

I think it forces the PD to take a serious look at how hostile their station is, if thats what you mean.

But police shootings of unarmed citizens are based on the "fear for their life" in the moment not hindsight, and im not sure what could make an officer more fearful than getting shot at for wearing a badge.

Nationwide i think it may cause some people to reach across the blue line from both sides but overall i can only see it breeding mistrust in the specific region.

St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said one officer was shot in the face, just below his right eye, with the bullet lodging behind his ear. The other officer was hit in the shoulder, and the bullet came out his back.
Both men were expected to recover without suffering any long-term damage, Belmar said, but the wounds could easily have been mortal.

i always find it impressive when people survive getting shot in the face :mellow:
