The Baton Rouge police investigation is correct to investigate every aspect of the attack on the officers.
There are some interesting parallels between Dallas, Orlando and Baton Rouge. The gunmen were well trained and came by car to kill police or in the case of Orlando, the LGBTQ community. They used military style weapons.
Their movements shows a gunman with knowledge enough to track down police and engage them. Orlando was simply a bloodbath.
I still think police should be given every advantage to save their own lives in methodologies that are current and not simply traditional. I am hearing how one officer left his safe place and put himself in danger to aid another officer. Fine. But, when the gunman continued to hunt them down it risked more deaths and there were definitely deaths achieved. Had the officer remained in place the killing might have ended.
Soldiers may simply have skills that make attacks similar. There probably is no conspiracy or central adviser.
Police leaders have to rethink the methods of their officers, unfortunately.
It is my opinion the gunmen makes plans and uses his own intelligence gathering before embarking on these attacks. There has to be some clue as to such preparedness.
They didn't kill where they lived. They expected to get away. Let's face it, if all the police are dead or injured there won't be witnesses. These gunmen make up their minds what the outcome is going to be and I believe they intend to live through it to escape.
The USA military is trained in urban warfare and that is the techniques they are applying to their victims.
