Undocumented immigrants don't tend to have advanced weaponry.

The gunman, a 28-year-old man from Lorain whom the authorities did not name, had an arsenal of weapons with him, the authorities said.

“I have no idea who he is, and I don’t care,” Chief Failing said.

“I have no idea who he is, and I don’t care,” Chief Failing said.

So the chief doesn't care to find out what type of person is shooting his officers?

generally do not speak with precision, especially when they are under duress. A police chief should be careful to speak precisely, especially under pressure.

If I said, Yo Dad, I’m gonna live with you til I’m 28. It would break his heart (wink wink) but I’d be hitting the road, which I did 4 months after my 18th birthday. Never committed a crime, never shot anybody, had zero guns and haven’t voted for a Republican in 49 years.

Unfettered access to weapons of war. Ultimately LE has to deal with the sov cit types. Good luck. The shooter and the cops all voted for the same stuff.
