While the motives of the person responsible for this horrible crime are still unknown, the random shooting comes at a time of great political unrest caused by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and Democrat voters who believe police officers are racist.
President Donald Trump hit back at the protesters and shooter, retweeting the video of the incident and saying, “Animals that must be hit hard!”
The president also said that if the officers die, there should be a “fast trial death penalty for the killer.”
