10 police officers shot by snipers at BLM protest in Dallas

Saw the video of the lone cop trying to take the shooter down on FOX.

Tragic outcome, the shooter fires at the cop and apparently put another 4 or 5 in his back at point blank as he was down.

Bad eggs or no, shows how the US PD put their life on the line everyday.

Saw the same video, it was chilling, seen so much worse in movies and TV but knowing the reality of it, left me a little numb.
 
So in America, if a black person gets robbed or assaulted, do they still call the police?

If any good is to come out of this, it's the ever increasing pile of evidence that gun control is needed.

is it time this happened though? Is it time the people stood up to the hateful racism that swamps the us police force?


Is this now the time something will get done?

What will "Get Done" is this...

Here is what is going to happen in the longer term.

1) White flight from cities with large black populations will escalate.

2) Black flight (yes, Black flight, already a big problem for Black communities will also escalate)

3) Black majority neighbourhoods will become increasingly segregated and economically deprived.

4) People will simply not want to work as policemen in Black neighbourhoods any-more.

As a consequence of 3 and 4, Crime in Black neighbourhoods will explode and the rate at which Black people kill other Black people, currently over 6000 a year, representing over half of all US Murders, will run into the tens of thousands,

But hey, #Blacklivesmatter, At least the number of Police related shootings will probably go down.
 
This could break out in a full civil war if enough gun-crazed loons decide to start shooting police. so grateful we donn't have free access to arms here.
 
I'm just looking at things from both sides.


Clearly, protesting / marches / talking to people / raising awareness of the racism within the police isnt working, if you lived in a gun culture and got that angry / scared for your lives, its a very possible route to take.

It looks like he's had training with how he moves and puts shots to the other side of the pillar so he can get behind the officer.
 
Shocking news really, but with everything that's happened over the years regarding the police vs black people, it's no wonder some of them decided enough is enough.
 
Jesus christ,

Videos coming out of the suspects in the streets armed with long guns, sounds like a war zone,
 
I saw the video of Philando Castile's death - its no wonder its kicking off - the guy did literally nothing and got shot 5 times................... yeah its awful but what do they expect to happen when the police themselves go around unlawfully killing innocent civilians ?

Americas gun laws are nuts, but this is borderline why they have their gun rights amendments (as originally written) - to protect the people against unjust law keepers - this was written in what, 17th, 18th century ? From a barbaric time? ........ yet here we are in 2016 when the law is going around murdering people.........sad state to be in.

I blame Black Lives Matter for perpetuating the lie that cops target blacks. The statistics show unarmed blacks are shot by police at the same rate as whites. And given that blacks as a proportion commit more violent crimes, that suggests police are cautious about shooting blacks.

Of course you do. Obviously it's black people's faults that they're getting shot, and that some vigilantes have decided to shoot some policemen. Of course it is.

I just watched the video too.... I'm speechless....
 
The figures don't match what BLM preach. They are a hate group (anti-white and inadvertently anti-black too). Whites are shot at an almost identical rate to blacks and unarmed whites and blacks are shot at exactly the same rate. 90-91% of black murders are done by other blacks.

Black culture is the biggest problem.

Hope the other officers make a quick and speedy recovery

From what I read, He told the Cop that he had a Gun while reaching into his pocket!

This was never going to end well! :(

Especially where one has an African American Talking to a Chinese American where the subtleties of English nuance will likely be lost on both parties.
