Thinking that hes a suspect simply because he was open carrying?
The problem is the leftist media latches onto the wrong ones - police shootings where the victim actually committed real crimes, attacked police and went for their weapons. This creates a racial divide in the county and furthers the leftist paradigm that blacks are treated unfairly, even when they are acting badly.
Creates a racial divide? Are you stoned or something? The racial divide never went away. It's always been here and, if anything, has just deepened over time. There's legal integration, yes, but emotionally, people will always be segregated.

Police shootings ARE an important issue that should be protested, this forum reported on such incidents from the beginning, on almost a weekly basis.

He's also black.
"The wrong ones?" Which ones were wrong? When is it okay to protest against the police? Your mistake is assuming these protests are only about the individuals who become the faces of these stories, when really, it's about the rotten system that keeps allowing these things to happen and for cops to get away without facing punishment. Where do your priorities lie?
Mr.NoSmile addressed the other portion of your post, so I won't.

Antischism you are disgusting. You care more about your pet issue than preserving status quo of not having snipers shoot at police.
Sorry to say but peaceful protestors do bear the responsibility for this. Because they create the environment where the cops are being targeted.
I care for police abuse. But this is hardly an issue for me when $#@! like this happens and when we are going through this insane election.
The reason why this issue isn't going anywhere is because the Trayvons and Michael Browns get all the press. Thugs. People who were doing something wrong and got in trouble for it.
You and Danno and I can sit and argue about how they shouldn't have gotten shot either, and how they add to the evidence that the cops are all rotten, but the 70 year old white guy who remembers what New York City was like in the 70s isn't going to hear it. He's going to see that leftists are winging when criminals are getting their comeuppance, and that's as far as he's going to look into it. And if you or I were to try to convince him that there are many more John Crawfords and Philando Castiles happening, he's going to chuck $#@! at us like an ape because we're against his beloved cops who he sees as the only people who have any business beating up black guys.
So yeah, they're concentrating on the wrong ones. It's not Dannos or my priorities that are screwed up: it's literally everyone elses'. And we're not going to change their priorities by ignoring what their current priorities are.

This man's brother has come forward and said it is definitely not him shooting, he was a just a 2nd am. exercising, and has already turned his rifle over to police when shooting started.
4th Officer has died.
