was ‘seeking out’ oficers

BATON ROUGE, La. — A
former Marine dressed in black
and carrying extra ammuni-
tion set out to ambush police in
Baton Rouge, authorities said
Monday, a day after three law
enforcement oficers were killed
in the attack.
The gunman’s “movements,
his direction, his attention was
on police oficers,” state police
Col. Mike Edmonson said. He
would not elaborate but said the
shooter was deinitely “seeking
out” police.
Three other oficers were
wounded Sunday, one criti-
cally. The gunman was identi-
ied as Gavin Long of Kansas
City, Missouri, who was black.
He turned 29 on the day of the
ambush and was killed in a gun
battle with police.
In online posts, a man using
an alias of Long’s said protests
alone do not work, and that peo-
ple must ight back after the
deaths of black men at the hands
of police.
Documents show that Long
sought to change his name last
year to Cosmo Setepenra. A
website using that name links
to online books about nutrition,
self-awareness and empower-
ment. The man describes him-
self as a “freedom strategist,
mental game coach, nutritionist,
author and spiritual advisor.”
In a video posted July 10,
the person making the post says
he’s speaking from Dallas after
ive police oficers were fatally
shot there during a protest of the
deaths of black men in encoun-
ters with law enforcement. The
man also discusses protests in
Baton Rouge and what he per-
ceived as oppression.
He says: “You’ve got to
ight back. That’s the only way
a bully knows to quit.” In an ear-
lier video, the man says that if
anything ever happens to him,
he doesn’t want to be linked to
any groups and mentioned once
belonging to Nation of Islam.
In documents seeking
the name change, Long also
referred to himself as a mem-
ber of a black separatist group
known as the Washitaw Nation.
Reverberations
The attack unfolded less than
two weeks after Baton Rouge
Deborah Paddison pauses as she stands in her office
as she works from her home while she recovers from
her latest orthopedic surgery Friday in Phoenix. As re-
viled as it may be, “Obamacare” has changed the na-
tion in ways that many people wouldn’t want reversed.
It means no one has to worry about being denied cov-
erage due to medical problems.
With millions already
covered, ‘repeal and
replace’ gets riskier

Millville Police Chaplain Bob Ossler prays and weeps with a local resident as she places
flowers on a memorial at the B-Quik gas station on Monday, in Baton Rouge, a day after
a shooting at the scene that killed and wounded multiple police officers.
police fatally shot a black man
in a confrontation that reverber-
ated nationwide.
Edmonson also conirmed
that investigators have inter-
viewed people with whom the
shooter had contact in Baton
Rouge. He would not say how
many or give details and stressed
that the interviews do not mean
that those people were involved
in the shooting. He urged any-
one else with information about
Long to come forward.
The shooting less than a mile
from police headquarters added
to the tensions across the coun-
try between the black commu-
nity and police. It was the fourth
high-proile deadly encounter
in the United States involving
police over the past two weeks.
In all, the violence has cost the
lives of eight oficers, including
those in Baton Rouge, and two
civilians and sparked a national
debate over race and policing.
Long served in the Marines
from 2005 to 2010, reaching the
rank of sergeant. He deployed
to Iraq from June 2008 to Jan-
uary 2009, according to military
records.
While in the military, Long
was awarded several medals,
including one for good conduct,
and received an honorable dis-
charge. His occupational exper-
tise was listed as “data network
specialist.”
Although he was believed to
be the only person who ired at
oficers, authorities were inves-
tigating whether he had any
help.
“We are not ready to say
he acted alone,” state police
spokesman Major Doug Cain
said Sunday.
On Monday morning, busi-
nesses around the shooting
scene began to reopen. Custom-
ers bought coffee and breakfast
sandwiches at a B-Quik conve-
nience store. Next door, work-
ers prepared for the day at a car
wash where the gunman had
been cornered.
Buildings at the scene were
scarred with at least eight appar-
ent bullet marks. Investigators
examined a hole in a window
at a itness-supply business, and
wood covered another window
that was shot out.
Long attended classes at the
University of Alabama for one
semester in the spring of 2012.
A school spokesman said uni-
versity police had no interac-
tions with him.
He was also briely enrolled
at Clark Atlanta University
during the 2012-13 academic
year, the school said.
Long sought to change his
name last year in a document
iled in May 2015 with the
recorder of deeds in Jackson
County, Missouri. He also said
he was a member of the Washi-
taw de Dugdahmoundyah, or
the Washitaw Nation.
The group describes itself
as a sovereign Native Ameri-
can nation composed of blacks
descended from ancestors
who settled in North Ameri-
can before Columbus, accord-
ing to the Southern Poverty Law
Center.
The name-change document
ends: “Standing irm on the
Ancient Principles of, LOVE,
TRUTH, PEACE, FREEDOM
AND JUSTICE.”
Gunire
The shooting began at a
gas station where, according to
radio trafic, police answered a
report of a man with an assault
rile and were met by gun-
ire. For several long minutes,
they did not know where it was
coming from.
The radio exchanges were
made public Sunday by the
website Broadcastify. The
recording lasts about 17 minutes
and includes urgent calls for an
armored personnel carrier called
a BearCat.
From his window, Joshua
Godwin said he saw the suspect,
who was dressed in black with
a ski mask, combat boots and
extra bullets. He appeared to be
running “from an altercation.”
Of the two oficers who sur-
vived the shooting, one was hos-
pitalized in critical condition,
and the other was in fair condi-
tion. Another oficer was being
treated for non-life-threatening
injuries, hospital oficials said.
WASHINGTON — As
Republicans gather to anoint
their presidential ticket in
Cleveland, uncompromising
opposition to “Obamacare” is
getting politically riskier.
Few people were cov-
ered under President Barack
Obama’s health care law
when the GOP held its last
convention in 2012. Now,
Donald Trump’s plan to
replace the program would
make 18 million people unin-
sured, according to a recent
nonpartisan analysis.
Reviled as it may be,
Obama’s law has changed the
nation in ways that many may
not want reversed. It means
people don’t have to worry
about being denied cover-
age due to medical problems,
or fear policies that max out
while a patient is undergoing
chemotherapy. Millions who
couldn’t afford health insur-
ance now have inancial help.
Capturing the White
House would inally let
Republicans make good
on their vow “repeal and
replace” the health care law.
But ripping apart the social
safety net would be politi-
cally self-defeating, a new
dilemma for the GOP.
“I don’t think they can
credibly do ‘repeal’ until they
have a solid legislative pro-
posal to replace it,” said Lan-
hee Chen, policy director for
the 2012 Mitt Romney pres-
idential campaign. “Polit-
ically, you can’t really do

‘repeal’ without the ‘replace’
coming in right behind it.”
Trump “has made some
vague pronouncements, but
that’s not a plan,” he added.
A framework
Many conservatives are
hoping House Speaker Paul
Ryan, R-Wis., will have the
answer. Ryan has put together
a framework for a replace-
ment plan, and he’s trying to
build GOP consensus. A Pres-
ident Trump would do every-
thing he could administra-
tively to unwind the health
care law, while Congress
would take on the main work
of repealing it and designing
an alternative.
“He is going to rely heav-
ily on the Republican House
and the Republican Senate
to put substantive bills on his
desk,” said Sen. John Bar-
rasso, R-Wyo., chair of the
GOP platform committee.
Even with Ryan’s policy
expertise, that scenario is also
illed with uncertainty.
If Republicans can keep
the Senate, they’re not
expected to have a 60-vote
majority that would allow
them to ram through legisla-
tion. They might have to scale
back their health care aspira-
tions from the start.
Possible outcomes could
shift from full repeal to
rescinding parts of the law
that Democrats don’t much
like either, such as its tax on
high-value insurance plans,
the employer coverage
requirement, and a Medicare
cost-control board. Call that
“repeal lite.”
