Dom, I hear ya, but you guys have a very serious social infrastructure issue if your resorting to issuing your LEO's like combat troops.

RIP. God Bless.
I can speak as both a LEO and a combat troop. While some of the gear may be similar, it's not always the same. other than some flex cuff, I don't carry any less lethal, or restraints in the military. On the civilian side of the house, in addition to my duty weapon, I've got cuffs, pepper spray, and baton, as well as access to electronic stun devices, and less lethal munitions like bean bag and baton rounds. On the military side of the house, I've got an ROE that usually allows me to do what I feel I need to do to accomplish my mission, without to much fear of someone looking over my shoulder. On the civilian side of the house any, and I mean ANY use of force, is THOROUGHLY reviewed by my agency, and might be investigated by grand jury, state, and/or federal agencies. An that's not to mention all the arm cahir legal experts who want to chime in with their opinions on what they think.
Rest in peace.
From a lawyer friend here in Lousiana, this is supposedly one of the perps (picture in article) ... apparently a fugitive from up North, Kansas, and known armed and dangerous ... disclaimer - this is ID from a personal internet commo, I have not seen this man linked to the ambush in the local press as yet, or in the bullitins...

Louisiana shootout suspects may have ties to extremist groups
Authorities are investigating whether some of the seven people arrested in a shootout that killed two Louisiana deputies may have ties to extremist anti-government movements, law enforcement officials told the Los Angeles Times.
Deputies had been conducting surveillance on several of the suspects for more than two months and considered them armed and dangerous, DeSoto Parish Sheriff Rodney Arbuckle said in an interview with The Times.
Their surveillance led them to believe that several of those under watch held anti-government beliefs and were heavily armed, Arbuckle said.

Thanks. I have been wondering what possible motive these vermin could have had for doing this.
FBI watching extremist group after shooting
http://www.klkntv.com/story/19323851...xtremist-group
Read the rest of the article at the linked page.The FBI is keeping a close watch on an extremist group after deadly shootings in Louisiana last week. You may have recently heard about a group of Americans called Sovereign Citizens. Seven people were arrested for shooting several Louisiana deputies. Some are now being linked to the group, including a Beatrice man.
The FBI lists Sovereign Citizens among the nation's top domestic terror threats, many don't pay taxes, carry a driver's license or have a social security card. Some have become extremely violent and have little regard for police.
Two deputies killed and two wounded just outside New Orleans last week. The FBI believes Kyle Joekel of Gage county and six other suspects opened fire. And that they're part of a group known as Sovereign Citizens. The FBI says the group is a growing domestic threat to law enforcement and classifies them as anti-government extremists. There's an estimated 300,000 in the country. They are described as a loose network of individuals living in the U.S. who believe that federal, state and local governments operate illegally. The FBI says some of their actions, although peculiar are usually minor, such as not paying their taxes and creating false documents like license plates, driver's licenses, and even currency.
RIP...disturbing to say the least.
God protect you Dominique.
Maybe so, maybe not. This is what certain elements in the press, and government long to see.
But, Kyle Joekal was wanted in Kansas for attempting to sell 6 lbs of mary jane. I suggest hold judgement on the "soverign citizen" angle, since drugs may be involved. The investigation will discover the truth.
