34. The same flag that Miller draped over one of the bodies.
Sat Dec 27, 2014, 03:45 PM
Dec 2014
On June 8, 2014, the Millers first went to a CiCi's Pizza restaurant on foot at 11:22 a.m.,[1] finding Las Vegas police officers Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck, who were eating at the restaurant on their lunch break. Prior to the shooting, they had observed the restaurant. Jerad Miller fatally shot Soldo in the back of the head with a handgun, then shot Beck in the throat. Both Millers then killed Beck by shooting him multiple times after he attempted to fire back.[8] Afterwards, they dragged the officers' bodies out of their booth and covered Beck with a yellow Gadsden flag and a swastika. They also pinned a note on Soldo's body, which read: "This is the beginning of the revolution." They also stole both officers' guns and ammunition. Also, during the restaurant shooting, the Millers loudly declared to other patrons that it was the start of "a revolution".[8]http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Miller

If most teaparty members would admit they are basically just KKK members, we could address the issue more intelligently

Not one officer has been even charged with killing unarmed men all over the country.
It's patently unfair, and an abuse of power.

All across the country suggesting it is a systemic problem. Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets demonstrating their desire for equal treatment under the law. It's clear to anyone willing to look fairly at the situation there is a terrible problem in need of some serious color blind folks armed with serious solutions.

I'm hoping with these massive protests, that there's a beginning of a conversation in this country about the unwarranted militarization of our nation's police forces, the horrible treatment of minorities by the police, but given the short attention span of the average American, I'm not optimistic that anything of substance will be done.

all kabuki and hypocrisy. Course that was a white terrorist killing cops who a part of a larger white terrorist group that threatened to kill a whole bunch of local and federal police, while this lone mentally troubled individual WAS black, killing light skinned police. Can't call them white by culture, but they were light enough and the killings came at the right time by a mentally troubled black man for the RW and their sympathizers over the whole political spectrum to be able to wring their hands and whine about the ferguson, NYPD, Cincinnati protesters being responsible for this tragedy. What BS.

IMO both probably intended the final outcome to be 'suicide by cop'.

The bullet that killed Las Vegas gunman Jerad Miller came from a police officer’s rifle, authorities confirmed Wednesday, revealing video surveillance footage from the final shootout.
