Thursday night saw the biggest loss of life for America's law enforcement since 9/11. Last night five police officers were killed, six officers were wounded and two civilians were shot according to the most recent reports.

The Black Power Political Organization has taken responsibility for the attack according screen shots of a Facebook post. The group's Facebook account has since been taken down.
