Who shot and seriously wounded two police officers outside of the headquarters of the Ferguson Police Department early Thursday morning? As of right now, nobody knows, but that hasn’t stopped The Daily Kos’ Shaun King from riling up his readers with the insinuation that maybe the police or police supporters were behind the attack:

So, Shaun — what do you think? Who does benefit the most? Stop hiding behind the ol’ just-asking-questions defense and speak up!
@ShaunKing .Seriously please tell me you're not "insinuating" police officers shot two of their own?

@ShaunKing – What size tin foil hat do you wear?

As for King’s readers, they are on board with the conspiracy angle:
@ShaunKing perhaps one of the 50 almost-fired Ferguson policemen who were not on duty and are all upset about the DoJ report…

@ShaunKing Very peculiar. Let alone bringing up the shooter's accuracy. #Ferguson

@ShaunKing and we see this corruption in that PD. We see what they have done this far and this long.

@ShaunKing …I smell fish; I'm certain that was a pro hit; considering timing of protestors leaving/precision/distance = purposeful!! ✌️?

Exactly ? “@ShaunKing: Who benefits the most by taking the attention from police corruption & resignations to injured officers?”

My Friend..The timing of the shooting seems highly suspicious, prove the protesters are violent thugs kills support of movement @ShaunKing

@ShaunKing I too have to wonder why now? why in all this time and so many opportunities do you take shots at police? Does not add up.

@ShaunKing exactly!

@ShaunKing agent provocateurs been used since th 1960's to disrupt movements and shift narratives

Hopefully the cops make an arrest soon and all of this conspiracy nonsense can end.
