Michigan woman who Ambushed Police officer at Juneteenth Parade Dies after Struck by Return Fire: Police

A woman in Michigan who authorities say shot at a Flint police officer at a traffic checkpoint during a parade on Juneteenth and was struck when the officer returned fire has since died at the hospital.

Michigan State Police is investigating following the officer-involved shooting that happened at approximately 2:14 p.m. Saturday in the city of Flint. Officials identified the woman as Briana Sykes, 19, of Flint.

A preliminary investigation revealed that an officer working a traffic point for the Juneteenth Celebration Parade "was fired upon by a lone occupant of a vehicle who drove up to him," the Flint Police Department said in a press release.

The Champion’s Parade, which honors the city’s athletic greats and community leaders, began at noon in front of City Hall and was to proceed north on Saginaw Street. Held in coordination with Juneteenth, the newly deemed federal holiday commemorating the emancipation of enslaved people in the U.S., the parade was to end at the Bernston Field House, a historic hub for Flint’s African American community, according to Michigan Live.

Working as intended when you draw a firearm on somebody. They might shoot back.

Another anecdote shows that you don't get the point. Let me help you get on the right scent. This is root of the division in America.

Ok I’m a W fan but I’m very aware of his shortcomings and I’m struggling to believe he put forth a statement as profound as that.

IKR? Nuke you Lur.

Again I’m a W fan (except for that damn Patriot Act he can never be forgiven for that) but there is no way in hell he came up with that on his own. If it had been signed “George W Bush’s speech writer” then sure.

Oh they never do. Except for his "soon the whole world is going to hear you" during 9/11. That's seemed off the cuff.

Ok I’ll give him credit on a lot of that immediately post 9/11 stuff that was from the heart. We were all royally pissed off and wanted some payback I’m sure he did too.

And yes you’re clearly right that they all benefit from very capable speech writers. I can see Reagan saying that or even his father coming up with it. I just kinda snorted out loud when I saw it credited to W but it was a powerful speech on something that hit close to home for him so..,🤷‍♂️
