Nobody said he wasn't trained, everyone said he didn't have to be trained to do what we saw. Youtube paintball and you'll see much of the same.

Only 37

Turns out he's ex military

How anyone matching that specific description can be mad about being profiled is completely inexplicable.
1 wasn't that description based on wrongfully suspecting him to be the shooter?
2 they are clearly upset of what happened after, not agreeing to publicly clear his name. Like the brother said, he could have easily been harmed by someone not following the information

I agree, but to be fair, it could have been a chicken/egg sort of thing too. Obviously quite a few people took pictures of this guy during the protest, so once shite started popping off, I don't doubt that there were 911 calls or tips sent to police describing this exact man as person of interest.
He can be upset because he was innocent, but he should also understand the situation at hand. The cops peacefully arrested and then released a man with a helmet and body vest near the area where the shooting occurred. That is what they should do in a time like this, and they did it well IMO.

attention whoring yourself at an active protest strapped with an AR-15 really wasn't the brightest of ideas. I get why they are upset but damn, they had warranted concern about his presence there until he turned himself in.

Yep. I seent it.

Play stupid games......
There was zero reason for him to be walking around a peaceful protest with an AR. He got the backlash he deserved since he obviously went there wanting attention

just a FYI to give it validity... Alex Horton is a reporter for Stars & Stripes... the official newspaper of the military

Never discuss the availability of semi-automatic rifles and its contribution to a tragedy, right?
I love people who believe banning the legal sale of a certain firearm would make said firearm hard to get.
It's almost like black markets are just a figment of the imagination.

Yep and then tried to say he was exercising his right to open carry
Sure
But really you wanted to look like you were ready for war against cops

Exactly. Perfect example of why someone like Shaun King obliterates any reasonable concerns BLM has. If you want moderate, rational people to listen to your legitimate gripes, you'd do well to disassociate yourself with someone like King, Sharpton, Jackson, etc.
King's first tweet on the entire subject was about the "injustice" done to the camo guy. No condolences to the officers, nothing critical about the violence being a terrible way to get your message across, just an opportunistic race-baiting tweet about the camo guy. He is the epitome of a coward.

The description was spot on. You have a mass shooting and there is a guy carrying an ar trying to make a statement. He wanted to be seen and was seen. It's not like the cops just picked some random black man to try and pin this on.

Why is it hard to believe that the majority of the time the cops aren't just out to kill innocent black people?

Already blaming guns. He started it, made the call to the Congressional Black Caucus and they're calling for gun control legislation.
