This just sounds to me like a couple of criminals and not any sort of ambush.

To be fair, a white cop was killed by a black man. So yes, we need to start emphasizing the racial aspect of it.

I'm pretty happy with what Texas is doing with the Police Protection Act.

Governor Abbott’s Police Protection Act includes the following proposals:

• Extend hate crime protections to law enforcement officers;
• Increase criminal penalties for any crime in which the victim is a law enforcement officer, whether or not the crime qualifies as a hate crime;
• Create a culture of respect for law enforcement by organizing a campaign to educate young Texans on the value law enforcement officers bring to their communities;
