Gavin Eugene Long aka Cosmo Setepenra: Top 10 Facts You Need to Know

Gavin Eugene Long, also known as Cosmo Setepenra, of Kansas City, Missouri, has been identified as the gunman who killed three police officers in Baton Rouge.

Here’s some early information on the assailant. He is a black man with the Sovereign Citizens Movement from the State of Missouri…according to this news site. Btw, Missouri is also an open carry State.

I feel so sorry for this President having to address this crap almost every week. The racists are probably already blaming him

I did for the umpteenth time just to hear myself talk, and he most likely will but he lives probably close to where the perimeter is for protestors to be. He said he sees tons of people with RNC badges on so far and that’s about it.
