A total of 10 officers have been killed in
premeditated ambushes so far this year, the same as the last two years
combined, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Police assassins have included a ragtag smattering
of white survivalists, black militants, people who identify with the
antigovernment “sovereign citizen” movement, hard-core criminals who have
clashed with law enforcement for much their lives, and a variety of apparently
suicidal people who wanted to depart with notoriety.
In both of the most recent ambush attacks against
police — in Dallas, where five officers were stalked and killed and nine others
were injured in July, and 10 days later in Baton Rouge, where six officers were
shot, three of them fatally — the killer was African American.
Although most police shooters are white males,
including Latinos, black men have been responsible for nearly 40% of the 232
ambush killings of police officers since 2002, according to a U.S. Department
of Justice study last year.
