"This was substantial credible information": head of Louisiana State Police on alleged plot to kill law enforcement in Baton Rouge area

Baton Rouge police reportedly just foiled a Dallas-style plot to kill police officers in Baton Rouge, the Louisiana city where Alton Sterling was shot by police last week.
According to CBS News, three people, including one juvenile, were arrested in a plan to use stolen firearms from a Baton Rouge–area pawn shop to kill officers during protests — which have been sweeping the city — in response to the Sterling shooting. At least eight guns were stolen from Cash America pawn shop over the weekend. Federal agents raided a Baton Rouge home late Monday and recovered six of the stolen weapons. Two are reportedly still missing.
During a press conference Tuesday, officials said they were aware of a “credible” threat to officers, and it’s one of the reasons police wore riot and protective gear during protests over the past few nights.

But I’m sure if you asked any moron on CNN or MSNBC about this, they’d swear that they have nothing to do with Black Lives Matter. Because they’re the “movement of peace” just like Islam is the “religion of peace” and the Kennedys are the political family of female empowerment. Sure!!!
