10 police officers shot by snipers at BLM protest in Dallas

[platypus]

Tragic. I, like others, have seen a few of the videos that have been aired on the BBC containing these incidents and they really are shocking.

Take it as a I'M NOT JOINING THE DRIVEL TRAIN THAT DEUSE LIKES TO RIDE.

Now make sure you're wearing your bib today, I suspect it is going to be a messy one.

Probably the best response I've seen to him in a long time .

I remember seeing a video of a cop putting a bunch of a bullets in a dog that was in no way threatening him, right in front of the horrified owners. So sad

 

[Freakbro]

So you agree he's at least presenting facts and not lefty made up rhetoric like you.......

LOL at calling Robocod 'lefty'

 

[deuse]

All over now. I hope they caught the last suspect alive.

They do seem trigger happy, but I guess its the environment in which they work.

but I like my bear arms (''\(';.;')/'')

Lol. Best post ever!

Depends what colour he was.



Hopefully it's over for a bit be horrible if this just enrages things

 

[deuse]

Depends what colour he was.(

Well NO. If the person gives him\herself up, color doesn't come in to it.

He shot himself....what a chicken.

 

[deuse]

nvm

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

Pretty sure this matches the stats I saw too. It's interesting how nobody has commented on this other than you and one other poster whose posts have then been ignored.

The perpetrators of this horrendous act should count themselves lucky that they don't do lynching anymore.

Classy

I'll give it half hour before Reddit conspiracy theories are up.

It can be viewed on the flip side too. Feel sorry for black people, they can't even show a policeman their driving licence without worrying a maniac can draw a gun on them at any given time.
Another consequence of institutionalised racism and deep rooted (albeit ridiculous) fear of the black man.

Racism is everywhere but it tends to be less of a problem in time, as society advances. The fact that so many people carry is the main problem here. It puts policemen on guard and thus more likely to make mistakes, it gives maniacs easy access to assault weapons. These tragedies are the norm now..

Didn't expect casual racism from you.

Where's the racism in that?

Edit: Apparantly there is a difference between lynching and hanging my apologies.

Careful!

You'll have Phil675 coming in here telling you [nerd]That's not an assault weapon....there's no such thing as an assualt weapon as it's just too vague a term[/nerd]

Lynching in America has a strongly racist history. Think gas chambers and Jews.

 

[andi]

The world is quick to outcry the death of a convicted criminal illegally in possession of a concealed firearm he was alleged to have just used to threaten someone, but five innocent people are executed in the street because of the job they do and the uniform they wear, and the world talks about how it's about time, and to be expected.

He implies they deserve lynching, which is strongly associated with racism.

Got any evidence to support that view as everything I've read supports their claims especially in 2015.

7 times more likely and even the posts data suggested a disparity but lower at twice as likely. We're not talking about overall black shootings but police vs civilian instances. There is clearly an issue but I'd suggest as usual the main issue is the prevalence of guns and subconscious bias that officers are probably more worried and more on edge for being shot by a black person. I'd hate to be an officer in America but the videos earlier this week were disturbing and I'd suggest some officers are more trigger happy than others.

Researchers, who used data collected by The Post, found that when other factors are considered, the racial disparity persists, but it is lower — twice the rate for unarmed black men compared with unarmed white men.
