BLM Dallas protest rally shooting

[lopri]

Luckily he turned himself in immediately. Saved himself.

Link please.

Edit: Are we talking about the suspect who killed the police officers or someone else? I checked news and heard no reporting of the suspect turning in.

 

[Jaskalas]

Yeah, no shit.

So many cops would have shot him without due process, or even allowing him the chance to give himself up.

I'm glad that did not happen. There's a high chance that man whose picture was released is innocent.

In a video someone shared earlier, a number of cops ran right by him while he had his gun slung over his shoulder.

I shared that video also, but he did not have his face plastered over the television and internet as a suspect at the time.

unconfirmed reddit posting indicates 2 in custody.

 

[Humpy]

And what exactly is the message of their protest? Shooting dead random police officers doesn't really send a clear message, which is usually integral to a protest.

I don't think there needs to be a clear message in order for a protest to occur. It can just be that people are mad.

This argument of semantics over whether or not this was done in protest or as retribution or retaliation or whatever is stupid as fuck.

Call it what you will, it's obviously a reaction to other current events.

Why would they shoot him without due process? I thought having more people with guns at public events is the best way to deal with mass shootings?

 

[lopri]

Or is it someone who was thought to be a suspect?

 

[UNCjigga]

The only thing we can conclude at this point is that there's been another mass shooting in America, the targets were armed police officers, and it happened in an open carry state where someone else with an AR-15 didn't stop the shooter.

Anyone who still opposes any form of gun control, and believes that gun-free zones are to blame for mass shootings is a moron.

No fucking shit? It just you hypocrites that want everyone to want until an internal, biased, investigation is completed any time a civilian is killed,

Internal? The Sterling shooting is being investigated by the justice depart and FBI - At the request of the governor and that request was made immediately.

I guess you think the Justice Dept is biased?

The guy in the camo with the gun turned himself in. He was not the shooter. There is video of him while shots were fired looking for a place to hide.

^ TY.

Dont go full retard.

Time to bring in the National Guard. Dallas just officially became a shithole like Baltimore tonight. Even Baltimore didn't kill someone.

What is with the stupid comments about bringing in the military? What will they bring to the table?

This.

If anything, it shows that gun owners can be very responsible, not rushing into situations that they might not make any better by charging in guns full blazing.

 

[Vic]

For it to fit the standard idea of terrorism they would have just happened to be in the area to attack a spontaneous event. Too coincidental IMO.

Well, regardless of who or why did this, I condemn this violence in every way possible. We are a country of laws and must remain so, and those laws apply to everyone.

Stability. And they would have control over the city, preventing the Dallas PD from committing massacres.

Knowing what TX does to their cop killers, I probably wouldn't have turned myself in and just went down in a blaze of glory. If he was in CA OTOH, it might be worth it to turn himself in as at least you'll have your own cell be protected from Bubba, and of course never be executed.

I'm not... Just pointing out the obvious.

foxnews has amazing footage of the shooter firing on the ground using building pillars as cover.

The problem is there was only one guy walking around with the gun. If every protester had a gun on them, someone would have dealt with the shooter in a few seconds, and that would be it.

lol Well anyways the military rarely brings stability to a situation.

Damn, they just showed one of the police going down. Shot within arms reach.
