On Sunday, Louisiana had a different kind of terrorist incident.
In this case it was domestic terrorists who sought to murder police in
reaction (as far as we know) to police/black American conflicts.
Police (according to CNN) responded to a
call that a man was walking while carrying a rifle along the highway in Baton
Rouge. Once the police arrived the suspect and potentially two other
suspects opened fire killing three officers and wounding another three.
The firefight apparently took place in a known drug trafficking area at a
spot where police regularly go to for coffee. Police were even concerned
about potential bombs and the area had to be cleared and secured.
It seems people are forgetting that our
Justice system is supposed to judge criminals, not vigilantes, but in this case
the murderers are terrorists through and through. They did not act for
the sake of justice in my mind, but instead targeted cops who had nothing to do
with any of the past cop vs black American shootings. While real
vigilantes fight for justice, this was cold blooded murder.
Final thought: Baton Rouge is now being described
as a powder keg ready to explode. It seems some people want a race war
and more police on black American incidents. Our nation is burning and
crying out for peace and true justice, not cold blooded murder. Pray for
the families who have lost their loved ones. Pray that this situation
gets resolved before it is too late.
