BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Police say they have arrested three suspects and are seeking a possible fourth accused of stealing several handguns as part of an alleged plot to harm police officers in the Baton Rouge area.
Baton Rouge police Chief Carl Dabadie said in a press conference Tuesday that authorities discovered the plot while responding to a burglary at a pawn shop.
They arrested one suspect on the scene and then tracked down two others. Authorities called on the fourth suspect to turn himself in.
State Police Col. Mike Edmonson called it a “substantial credible threat” to police.
The arrests come after the deadly police shooting of a black man by two white police officers in the city and the killing of five police officers in Dallas last week.
Are these the Baton Rouge police trackers following the lead of the armored SWAT truck, which seems to have picked up the scent of the “credible threat”? Were the suspects also card-carrying members of BLM or the New Black Panthers too?
It is the old watch my left hand, not my right. They have to break the news cycle of their incompetence so they get one boy allegedly breaking into a pawn shop willing to rat out others likely not connected to anything. Kids that age sit around and bs all the time. I hope the little boy made it worth his while.
Sounds to me like Andy Griffith would put that chief of police in jail.
I could be wrong but this seems so bogus.
