Federal Officer Killed Guarding Courthouse Near Protest

U.S. authorities say they’re seeing more acts of violence targeting law enforcement.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — A federal law enforcement officer in California was shot and killed and another wounded while providing security at the U.S. courthouse in Oakland amid one of the increasingly violent protests unfolding around the country.

“When someone targets a police officer or a police station with an intention to do harm and intimidate — that is an act of domestic terrorism,” Department of Homeland Security Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli said at a Washington, D.C., news conference Saturday.

The Oakland shooting occurred after a vehicle pulled up outside the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building at about 9:45 p.m. Friday. Someone opened fire at two contract security officers who worked for Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service, killing one and critically wounding the other, authorities said.

The officers protect federal court houses as part of their regular duties. DHS officials said the two officers were monitoring the Oakland protest over the police killing of George Floyd in Minnesota.

The identities of the officers have not been released.

A suspect hasn’t been named and it wasn’t immediately known whether authorities have determined if the shooting was connected with the protest.

Gov. Gavin Newsom called for patience and perspective as the federal investigation plays out.

“No one should rush to conflate this heinous act with the protests last night,” he said in a statement.

Federal officials said they’re seeing more threats and assaults against law enforcement officers at protests and they will step up security measures to protect them.

“There are currently threats by some to attack police stations and federal buildings,” Cuccinelli said. “That violence not only won’t be tolerated, we are also committed to ensuring that it won’t succeed anywhere.”

Newsom said authorities in California are

closely monitoring violent extremist organizations.

“In California and across the country, there are indications that violent actors may be attempting to use these protests for their own agendas,” he said. “To those who seek to exploit Californians’ pain to sow chaos and destruction, you are not welcome.”

The protest in downtown Oakland began peacefully but spiraled into chaos late into the night. Some demonstrators smashed windows, set fires and threw objects at officers. Police said 13 officers were injured.

The federal building’s glass doors were smashed and the front entrance was sprayed with anti-police graffiti.

Our schools, higher learning, liberal media, politicians and places of worship have done an excellent job brainwashing people to believe and act on what we don’t want to be as a country.

I’m starting to seriously believe that we cannot count on the Police if the shift hits the fan. I think that getting a gun at all costs, no matter how illegal your state might make it(I live in a disgusting blue state) is the only option at this point.

Disgusting. Freaking Disgusting. That is why they can’t be counted on if this country has a civil war or worse(in most states.) They are not on the side of law and order. They take their orders from people who want to see this country destroyed.

The Summer has just begun and the death and mayhem are mounting and its nearly all in Commiecrat strongholds where it can’t be stopped and is planned, led, and incited by the leadership. The Commiecrats are banking on intimidation and chaos to win the November elections, It will only get increasingly worse as the days pass. Where is America’s General Pinochet to put a quick end to it all?
