Is it just speculation in this thread that they're white nationalists or is there a source out there with some sort of identifying info on them?

It's 100% speculation arising from the announcement by the mayor or whatever that one of the suspects announced that "The end is coming" or said other similar fanatical religious stuff.

Although if they were white nationalists, you'd think target the black lives matter protesters as well... so I'm not sure I buy that either.

I'm watching a stream of Dallas' CBS local affiliate and they're interviewing the fake suspect and his brother.

They're saying that the police interrogated them and accused them of being the shooters as well as lying and saying that the police had witnesses and video showing them as being the shooters. They feel like the police completely disrespected them after they tried to be as compliant and helpful as possible and turned themselves in.

It's all pretty poignant.

I'm not sure if it was discussed earlier or not (there were 800 posts between when I left work & when I got home oblivious anything had happened), but a known right wing douchebag pulled a gun at the BLM protest in Portland tonight.

Here's video of him explaining "people were closing down on me" (or some poo poo) which is why he pulled his pistol.

It's the old thing where the cops just say that to try and rattle the person and trick them into admitting their participation in the criminal enterprise. You know, just in case he actually was involved at some level.

The police officer doing it probably knew 100% they were innocent. It's just some bullshit thing they do, following the interrogation manual for all guests of theirs.

PDs in general tend to have a kind of paranoid mindset, and prior cop killings have been used in things like training seminars to ingrain recruits with the idea that they are always in danger and that they are the thin blue line and such and such.

So this shooting is pretty much their most insane fever nightmare made real. They're not going to react well to it.

The militia movement has a weird relationship with white racism. There's a huge overlap, but then you get stuff like the debate in Oath Keepers about whether to support the police or the protesters in Ferguson. Overall, I'd say the militia movement is an ally of white supremacy, but I don't think it's impossible for militia group to view police as more of an enemy than black people.

Of course this could just be like some Dorner thing too.

It's despicable and goes beyond some bullshit old thing they do to follow the manual, I'd say. It's stuff like this that makes people inherently angry, because it's wrong, the authority knows it's wrong but they continue to do it. It's so wrong that it likely rationalizes extreme behavior in the minds of people who are already on the brink of losing control.

You mean when they followed standard interrogation protocol while talking to a suspect? If they had held him for a prolonged period of time based on not existing evidence/testimony you might have something here.

the manual varies; direct methods like that tend to be a "use with caution because it can backfire really badly" sorts of bits stuck on them.

interrogation isn't always so adversarial, and going hard on suspects like that tends to be frowned on in guidebooks since A. you can get better results by being friendly and playing dumb to give room for suspects to spill their guts out, B. gets you to chase false leads for too long, and C. can cause otherwise cooperative people to clam up since you turned it into a battle of wills. the stress of the event, though, means that police are going to prefer harsher measures.

Telling someone you have evidence/witnesses against him when you don't in order to wring a confession is grossly unethical. Worse, it's bad conduct.

Suppose one of them feels terrified/pressured and suddenly confesses to something he didn't do. Cops get a head to parade and look good, an innocent goes to jail...and an actual _killer_ potentially goes FREE. It could muck up further investigation ans your actual evidence doesn't fit the presented suspect/confessing parties.

It's just a colossal shitstorm for any system that is not completely dysfunctional. Like, Baath-party-under-Saddam messed up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakewood,_Washington_police_officer_shooting

"On Sunday, November 29, 2009, four Lakewood, Washington police officers were murdered at the former Forza Coffee Co. coffee shop, which was located at 11401 Steele Street South in the Parkland unincorporated area of Pierce County, Washington. "

"It is believed to be the most deadly attack on law enforcement in the state of Washington, and the deadliest attack on law enforcement in the United States since the March 21, 2009 shootings that left four Oakland, California police officers dead."
