CommonCents Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 A woman in custody? camouflage bags? Hmm seems like something other than some angry BLM people gone of the hinges.
Blokestradamus Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Following this on social media, it's brought to light the very best and the very worst of humanity. I've seen images today that will never leave my mind (pictures of a civilian shot protecting her children, a police officer shot in the back by a coward), If you see that video, please don't watch it. As Commonsense said, this isn't some loony. This is coordinated. It's terrorism with military precision. It's horrifying. My thoughts with the families of the officers killed, with those still fighting for their lives. It takes an extraordinary human being to run towards gunfire and to put other lives above your own.
Blokestradamus Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 The tweet announcing the 5th fatality has a number of responses enjoying that fact. Others praying for a 6th. I hope I'm wrong about religion because the idea of hell for those disgusting morons would make me feel a whole lot better.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Wow... All my prayers to keep things sane. Any word on the perp(s) and who they are?
Blokestradamus Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Wow... All my prayers to keep things sane. Any word on the perp(s) and who they are? Nothing concrete. The picture circulated by the Dallas PD is of an innocent man (stupidly carrying a rifle to the protest).
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Nothing concrete. The picture circulated by the Dallas PD is of an innocent man (stupidly carrying a rifle to the protest). People stupidly carry, it is their right. I heard the one guy immediately turned himself (after seeing his picture) in and then was released by police. Somebody trying to set up a patsy? Man is this theory deja vu? Wow... Nothing would shock me anymore.

Nothing would shock me anymore. My initial reaction was that it was entirely too convenient that the only leak was a picture of a rifle-carrying black man. His brother was the protest organiser.
CowgirlsFan Posted July 8, 2016 Author Posted July 8, 2016 Wow... All my prayers to keep things sane. Any word on the perp(s) and who they are? Thanks. One really sad evening.

Trying not to jump to any conclusions. In a case as delicate as this, due process is essential. Of course that hasn't stopped the media running headlines about civil war on the streets of America.
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I just saw some messed up video of the actual shooting... Man it is sickening. It appears the perp shoots one way, then the officer returns fire towards that direction and the bad guy wheels around and flanks the officer shooting them in the back. Just sickening! First person shooter video game training? Sick to my stomach
Blokestradamus Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 First fallen officer named: DART identifies Brent Thompson, 43, as DART officer killed in #Dallas shooting
eball Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Holy schitt. Just terrible -- both the questionable shootings of the men in Louisiana and Minnesota, and this calculated attack on police. I hate to be glib, but the terrorists are winning. Everything is crazy and it's hard to feel safe.
