I thought I just heard something on CNN about more shots being fired recently. Anybody else catch or hear that?

Since when do snipers only fire once apiece?

I think many of us could see something like this coming with the increasing acceptance and encouragement of rushing to judgement and rioting and violence, particularly with police involved shootings. And the continued use of such shootings by the usual opportunistic hustlers.

i read it as only 2 shots were fired.

So you are all for waiting on investigations when innocent civilians are killed, but if a cop gets shot, you know right away who to blame, before we even know who the shooters are...
Yeah, because there's no difference between individual action and propagandist contributions.

Watching it live. The police the camera was focused on started taking fire about 10 min ago.

Why aren't gun nutters praising this? Isn't the BLM movement about a tyrannical or oppressive government and the 2nd amendment being necessary to keep government in check? I guess because it's black people being oppressed and its black people who are fighting back, its not the same thing and gun nutters don't care. Where is the NRA? When can we expect to see them on tv saying only a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun?

I do find it extremely hypocritical that the few posters here who gobble trumps c**k have already laid blame on the left and aren't blaming this on mental health like they do every other shooting.




Anyways, what a horrible situation and not a good look for BLM (I'm not blaming them but others are). My heart goes out to the families that lost their lives to gun violence. Maybe some day the greatest nation on earth will get its shit together and start acting like it.

Also the news keeps interviewing people, many of the protesters are saying this is a good thing. I don't think they are thinking this through completely.

The key is "real or perceived". They are protesting two recent shootings where nobody knows the exact details. The court of public opinion has ruled and therefore they march and some assholes decided to escalate based on that initial bias.

So much fucking wrong with this.

I think many of us could see something like this coming with the increasing acceptance and encouragement of rushing to judgement and rioting and violence, particularly with police involved shootings. And the continued use of such shootings by the usual opportunistic hustlers.

So again, waiting for investigations and facts only matters when a cop shoots someone? Right now, all we know is that cops got shot by someone at a BLM protest, no idea who the shooters were or what their motivation was. They could be skinheads for all you know. Maybe you should at least wait until the shooters are caught before you start blaming everyone who wants police to have a little bit a responsibility.

If they can catch the suspects I don't think that will be necessary. I live in the area and it does not get *that* crazy in DFW.

I think the suspect(s) came here with murderous intent, to terrorize a city by killing police.

A suspect picture has been posted by police:

@ 18 seconds in that video. That's not the actions of someone who is an active shooter...

I am interested in knowing what your opinion of "the same standards" is.

I'll jump in...

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/07/politics/philando-castile-alton-sterling-josh-earnest/index.html

Obama and Biden weighing in - Fueling what could be a false narrative that is fueling public opinion of these shootings. Investigations only just begun, but their comments point to them indicting the police in both recent shootings.

It is reprehensible that a president, VP or other high ranking elected official even offer commentary like that that points a finger before the facts are known and investigations are concluded. The public gets enough of that shit via the talking heads on the media and on social media... ***But nobody carries as much influence as the POTUS does when he opens his mouth and speaks on a topic.

They carry perhaps part of the blame for what happened tonight in Dallas.

This is sad. It finally reached the boiling point.

Neither concealed carry or open carry works.

I really don't know how carrying any gun in the street can make America great.

It didn't even take long right here for someone to use the incident, with almost no knowledge of what actually happened.

I don't think it will go that far but it won't be easy in Dallas for a while.

This was bound to happen. I am honestly surprised we havent seen more of this with all the publicity from cops shooting civilians. It was a matter of time before civilians shot back.

Not to condone this in any way, but these were my thoughts too.

You cannot shoot police officers. Period. And guns, of course, but I will not talk about guns today.

Are you for real? Shooting cops that have nothing to do with the recent shootings = protest?

Wow, just wow.

Christ, is the idea of violent protest inconceivable to some posters here?

WTF?
