Air Force sergeant charged in drive-by shooting of federal officers

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday charged an Air Force sergeant with murder and attempted murder in connection with the killing of a federal security officer last month in downtown Oakland, Calif.

Staff Sgt. Steven Carrillo, who was also charged last week with killing a Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputy, is charged with the fatal drive-by shooting of 53-year-old federal security officer David Patrick Underwood in Oakland on May 29. Another officer was injured in the shooting.

Federal officials claimed Carrillo was associated with the far-right “Boogaloo” movement, which believes a second American civil war is imminent, and took advantage of an unrelated Black Lives Matter protest in the city on the same day as a cover for the killing.


John Bennett, the FBI special agent in charge from San Francisco, said Carrillo and an alleged accomplice, Robert Alvin Justus Jr., “came to Oakland to kill cops.”

"We believe Carrillo and Justice [chose] this date, because the planned protest in Oakland, provided an opportunity for them to target multiple law enforcement personnel and avoid apprehension to the large crowds attending the demonstrations, as described in detail in the complaint," Bennett said, according to a local ABC affiliate.

During the first two days of protests, a small number of Boogaloo Bois—white, male, heavily armed, and clad in Hawaiian shirts—deployed to the streets of Minneapolis. They vocally supported the protestors, but they primarily focused on confronting the police.

Seems to me these clowns are not as conservative right wing as the left wants them to be. Supporting BLM and libertarians. I would imagine they are more left wing nuts w/ 4chan values.

They call police pigs and their dress code signifies it

the shirts stem from the term “Big Luau” and the association of Luaus with pig roasts, which is appealing to Boogaloo Bois as they often call police “pigs.”

The Boogaloo movement is a figment of some internet crank's imagination which the media, desperate for a right wing boogeyman, has gratefully snapped up.

It is not real.

More context about this guy, http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,404543.0.html .

I also doubt the bonafides of calling the guy "far right". Killing police has never been an idea any conservative I've ever met/heard/read advocated. Antifoids, yes. BLMers, yes. Not any conservative I've ever met/heard/read.
