Diary Of A Racist Cop Killer

Gavin Eugene Long, who murdered three Baton Rouge cops today, was a narcissist who fancied himself a race warrior, a ladies man, and a lifestyle coach. A selection of his tweets:

You cant talk (or protest) the devil into changing his ways, this has never been done and never will

What’s so interesting about reading Long’s Twitter feed is that he’s pretty clearly not concerned with racial injustice. For him, it’s all about masculinity and power. Those three Baton Rouge police officers he murdered today were real men; he was a punk to the marrow.
