Beerball Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Thoughts go out to the families of those killed & injured. Emotional subject, please do not allow this thread to go off the rails folks. Thanks.
BuffaloBill Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Just a terrible situation. Racial tensions in this country are boiling over once again. Prayers go out to all touched by this horror.
Best Player Available Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 What is happening now in the country is hard to stomach. Such a tragedy.
mead107 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 (edited) 488 people killed by police this year. 261 were white. 57 police officers killed not counting last night . ALL LIVES MATTER Last year in Chicago 2900 shootings 468 murders, no police involved. That's just Chicago . And we worry about Isis ? Edited July 8, 2016 by mead107
Canadian Bills Fan Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 This is so terrible. My heart goes out to everyone in Dallas CBF

Captain Hindsight Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 It gets old reading about another shooting every single day. After the Orlando Shooting, not one person in my office said anything. So far this morning, nothing about last night. We are becoming numb to senseless violence. Very scary

But give your coworkers the benefit of doubt here as any conversation about these events could get very work-inappropriate very quickly. So much senseless violence and killing. Everywhere.
LB3 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 It gets old reading about another shooting every single day. After the Orlando Shooting, not one person in my office said anything. So far this morning, nothing about last night. We are becoming numb to senseless violence. Very scary I'm not sure that it's numbness. It is hard to avoid political tangents when discussing things like this and a lot of people know better than to bring their politics into the office. People can be very spiteful.
BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I guess the fourth shooter has been killed by the police. The police sent in a robot that got up next to the last shooter and dropped a bomb next to him. BOOM! Problem solved. Sad sad situation.

People can be very spiteful. Something I had not considered, but could be very true I hope that is the case and not just numbness to our new normal. I never thought I'd watch a video of major city in the US under attack from sniper fire. Its a like a movie

The police sent in a robot that got up next to the last shooter and dropped a bomb next to him. BOOM! Problem solved. Sad sad situation. I don't know if I'm impressed or afraid the police have that capability.
BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I don't know if I'm impressed or afraid the police have that capability. I'm impressed. Like I said in the "Police will patrol tailgate lots" thread, if people are having a good time and not breaking the law, I have no problem with police patrolling and having enhanced weaponry. Makes me fell safer anyway.
BringBackFergy Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Exactly, then we want the police to walk around people's yards in Orchard Park with full police powers... Yeah, that will work out really well. Not sure how you draw that conclusion.
Beerball Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Veering off the rails people. Take stuff to PPP if you feel the need.
dib Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 My son is a deputy sheriff. This scares the hell out of me.
Maury Ballstein Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Not sure how you draw that conclusion. Plus 1.
