Yeah we're home. Fortunately we were a few blocks away from the worst of it and I think we got out before they started locking down more areas. I'm watching the news now and where we were didn't look anything close to as bad as the stuff I'm seeing. I think people were just scared.

Stop acting like you have any idea what real people think. You clearly don't have any friends or any kind of social connections and are a sad, lonely and angry person.

I have no doubt that plenty of blacks have as little sympathy for the dead cops as cops have for the blacks they murder.

The racism here is hilarious. 500+ people shot dead so far this year, and not a peep here. The blacks shoot back? Oh HORRORS! Knitters gotta know their place.

I can maybe understand walking around with a handgun because fuck, it is Texas but isn't a rifle overkill and should have send signals? The fuck..

Dude your such a fucking idiot. You don't even know what the fuck happened and you're spouting this shit. Right now (literally) police are searching for a possible bomb that may have been planted. So this could be some fuckers pledged to ISIS for all we know at this time.

Yeah open carry has always been a stupid idea, even with a just pistol. Pretty much anyone who wants to walk around showing everyone they have a gun qualifies as someone who shouldn't be allowed to carry one.

Yep.

And so you are a black guy with a rifle(open carry) when snipers start shooting police. You want to be that guy with the rifle if you were legally carrying and had done nothing?

Seriously don't think the police might mistake you for a possible shooter while you try to get the hell out?

His brother said he handed over his rifle to an officer when it started. Pretty cool if it was loaded and the officer he gave it to was only armed with a handgun and he wanted to help him out.

[Spurminator]

I have to wonder though... Why did he bring the gun in the first place if he was just going to hand it over when bullets started flying?

[ElNono]

Gonna throw these two in now, so we get them out of the way early:

In before "If only more citizens had guns to shoot back this could've been avoided"

Bringing it in the first place was a ridiculous idea.

Thankfully he was wise enough, and lucky enough, to be able to do the above. What the hell do you do while carrying a rifle trying to find a cop to give it to while the cops are being targeted by a sniper?
Just saunter about, run towards them... Put the gun on the ground and kick it towards a cop...

Jesus...

[hitmanyr2k]

It's going to be interesting to see how Dallas cops react to open carriers in the coming days/months after this. I can't imagine police like the open carry law. It has to make their job that much more difficult and there are going to be some nervous cops after this.

Still a standoff with suspect(s) at parking garage per Dallas Chief.

Blacks shooting blacks are typically criminals shooting criminals. I'm not outraged and in fact I don't really give a fuck. It just pisses me off that guns are blamed instead of the low lifes puling the trigger.

Cops are just ordinary people that can make mistakes too. They get in a situation where fools resist arrest, the situation escalates, adrenaline rushes and they have to make split second life or death decisions. They aren't always right but I can guarantee you in 99.9999% of the cases they were TRYING to be right. For every bad shoot there are thousands of other cases where they didn't shoot or were totally justified. You painting all cops as racist killers of blacks and "they just got payback" when they are shot on the job just proves again what a disgusting piece of shit you are.

[boutons_deux]

"Cops are just ordinary people that can make mistakes too"

Freddy Gray, Tamir Rice, etc, weren't "mistakes". And those are just the ones caught on video. There are obviously 10s, if not 100s, of cops shooting blacks not caught on video.

From the Mayor:

Brown shared comments from the suspect during a press conference Friday morning. Police negotiated with the suspect for hours before sending in a robot equipped with a bomb, which eventually killed the shooter, Brown said.

During negotiations, the shooter told Dallas police "he was upset about 'Black Lives Matter'. He was upset about the recent police shootings. He was upset at white people," Brown said at the press briefing.
The suspect also said he wanted to kill people, "especially white officers" but was not affiliated with any particular group and "did this alone", Brown said.

The Dallas Police Chief said his department would not reveal names, or how many suspects there are in the ongoing investigation.

"We're hurting," Brown said. "This most stop. This divisiveness between our police and our citizens."

[CosmicCowboy]

Sounds just like Bookaki.

Some cops in Louisiana are possibly in a bad shoot which makes it OK to kill cops in Dallas that had nothing to do with it.

[CosmicCowboy]

Glad they blew his ass up with the robot bomb.

Texas Republican raises eyebrows with response to mass shooting

House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) raised a few eyebrows by arguing that the murders weren’t related (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gop-lawmaker-says-orlando-shooting-site-wasnt-gay-club) to the LGBT community. “It was a young person’s nightclub, I’m told,” the congressman said – overlooking the fact that Pulse described itself as “the hottest gay bar in Orlando.”

Nearly five weeks later, Sessions told MSNBC, in the wake of the murder of five police officers in Dallas, that he was concerned that officers “let their guard down (http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/cornyn-dallas-shooting-raises-concerns-retalition-police).”

Sessions initially talked about singling out the most effective police departments as a model for others to follow, before taking his answer in a stranger direction (https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2016/07/08/after-assassination-of-police-officers-trump-says-the-right-thing/).


“This is done not through America having a terrible unemployment problem. It’s done through having a vibrant, strong nation where people help each other. And I think Donald Trump will bring 10 million new jobs to America. And we desperately need GDP growth and jobs.”


Following up on our recent coverage (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gop-lawmaker-says-orlando-shooting-site-wasnt-gay-club), for those unfamiliar with Sessions’ background (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/sessions-stumbles-simple-multiplication), in 2014, Sessions became strikingly confused about what a “witch hunt (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/there-witch-somewhere)’ is.

The year before, Sessions said he believes it’s “immoral (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/pete-sessions-extended-jobless-aid-immoral)” to extend jobless aid to “long-term unemployments [sic].”

Around the same time, the congressman said the House should stop worrying about governing and focus exclusively on “messaging (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/gop-leader-pushes-messaging-over-governing).”

Last year, the Texas Republican said he holds President Obama “personally accountable (http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/leading-house-republican-blames-obama-murders)” for murders committed by undocumented immigrants, pointing to imaginary evidence (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/wp/2015/03/05/lawmaker-claims-illegal-immigrants-released-by-obama-are-committing-a-murder-a-day/).

Sessions then insisted (http://thehill.com/blogs/floor-action/house/236821-gop-chairman-bungles-obamacare-math) the Affordable Care Act costs Americans $5 million per person. (He was only off by $4,991,000.)

Certainly not blaming the cops but none of them seemed to be wearing their body armor, either not to look "intimidating" to the "peaceful protesters" or just because of the heat. I know my son in laws body armor goes on every time he walks out the door in his uniform, hot or not.

The next shoes to drop this summer:

A cadre of white nationalist snipers will acquire advance notice of a Black Lives Matter protest, and kill 30-40 blacks. They will all be arrested or killed.

Then several groups of blacks will "flash mob" several suburban neighborhood pools, and open fire on whites, mostly woman and children. 100-150 dead. There will be no arrests.

General collapse of civil order, and the concomitant opportunity to seize power is near. It has taken the life's work of so many to bring us to this precipice.

Pretty much. When you present a clear and obvious danger to yourself and others. Due process is for people who aren't waving guns around.

"This is a terrorist attack."

"This is why we need to protect our 2nd amendment rights, so that we can use the guns to protect our other rights".

Were the shooters protecting their rights against the government?

It was done deliberately to be friendly. From what I heard this morning on the radio (NPR) Dallas police have done more than many departments in the country to work at community policing, and the effects of that were starting to be felt in both trust and declines in murder rates.

[RandomGuy]

SKS = carbine

Not quite an assault rifle, but slap a 30 round magazine and it is pretty indistinguishable.

"The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent police shootings. The suspect said he was upset at white people," he said.

It should be noted that the shooter was not part of the protest from all the available information, and viewed the non-violent BLM movement as part of the problem.

Just adding context.

Interesting timeline at the UK Telegraph:

[boutons_deux]

It should be noted that the shooter was not part of the protest from all the available information, and viewed the non-violent BLM movement as part of the problem.

Just adding context.

Of course, the PEACEFUL BLM has been trashed, insulted, coopted, denigrated (as racist) by Fox, rightwingnuts, etc, from the very beginning.

I see bookaki has invented his own derogatory term for blacks.

[RandomGuy]

It was done deliberately to be friendly. From what I heard this morning on the radio (NPR) Dallas police have done more than many departments in the country to work at community policing, and the effects of that were starting to be felt in both trust and declines in murder rates.

http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2016/03/rising-violent-crime-forces-massive-dallas-police-changes.html/

Current chief brought in to fix problems, including a violent crime spike prior to march 2016. (86% jump)
http://cw33.com/2016/03/29/dallas-murder-rate-up-86-from-last-year/

Leads me to think it was a statistical anomaly. The efforts at community policing probably didn't have enough time to be taking effect. Any drop in short-term murder rate is simply a regression to the mean.

The NPR commentator was likely wrong about cause/effect.

BLM has indeed been trashed, unfairly, by many who have very racist motives.

The criticisms have shown the very ugly underside of conservative politics that sadly drive the Republican party. "we're not racists... but" :rolleyes

[RandomGuy]

The next shoes to drop this summer:

A cadre of white nationalist snipers will acquire advance notice of a Black Lives Matter protest, and kill 30-40 blacks. They will all be arrested or killed.

Then several groups of blacks will "flash mob" several suburban neighborhood pools, and open fire on whites, mostly woman and children. 100-150 dead. There will be no arrests.

General collapse of civil order, and the concomitant opportunity to seize power is near. It has taken the life's work of so many to bring us to this precipice.

Gonna throw these two in now, so we get them out of the way early:

[Clipper Nation]

GFY. A couple blacks had enough of their "brothers" being slaughtered, so they shot back. It's not solution.

What's your solution to solve the problem of racist cops brutalizing, slaughtering blacks?

or, all y'all rightwingnut cop fellators in silent agreement with the cops' slaughtering?

What's hilariously uneven in here is the y'all's outrage at blacks shooting back, and silence when cop slaughter blacks.

What's your solution to all the cop-killers being emboldened by the left's War on Cops? Are you just going to celebrate like the piece of shit you are every time a police officer is killed?

Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops. This is according to FBI data, which also found that 40 percent of cop killers are black. According to MacDonald, the police officer is 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black than a cop killing an unarmed black person.

and btw way, cops' body cams were "knocked off", or turned off, or simply made unavailable in these last two murders of blacks by cops.

Cops, in their bullsht defenses, have 30 days to weave a web of lies and denials, get all their fellow ducks in a line, and have full cooperation of their DA buddies.

Another Texas racist, rightwingnut hate media asshole opens his cornhole

Dan Patrick blames Black Lives Matter for Dallas shooting

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blamed the Black Lives Matter movement for Thursday's shooting in Dallas, saying their "hatred towards police" led to the incident that left five officers dead and several more wounded.

"All those protesters last night,

they ran the other way expecting the men and women in blue to turn around and protect them,"

he said in an interview. "What hypocrites!"

Patrick said many of the protesters aren't criminals, but "are creating situations like we saw last night."

http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Patrick-blames-Black-Lives-Matter-for-Dallas-8348268.php

Yep, ol' Danny Boy got it right: all knitters, like all Muslims, are all guilty for the criminal terrorists in their group.

But Phelps Baptist Church assholes are totally different from all Christians.

btw, Danny Boy, even middle class blacks don't call the police to report crimes for fear of being brutalized, criminalized, murdered, so they have NO EXPECTATION of police protection, quite the opposite.

[DPG21920]

He didn't miss it. He's saying it's not representative. I agree to a certain extent. But it is being discussed on major news outlets, all over social media and it's not just 10 random Twitter accounts. You are talking thousands of comments and voice brewing that looks really bad.

The fact that (and I may have missed it) no prominent BLM leaders have spoken up condemning what happened along with distancing themselves from even the minority of people claiming to be a part of their movement is stunning to me.

Agreed. What does that have to do with what I'm saying unless you believe in eye for an eye with killing and media treatment.

Nothing is stopping BLM leaders from acting the OPPOSITE of how the media acts when their movement is being trashed. Speak out - show the world BLM does not condone this and condemns anyone slandering their legitimate movement by associating BLM with these vile murders.

[DPG21920]

Also, I want to make my own personal point clear: BLM speaking out is no obligation or call out from me. They don't have to do anything.

It's so far down the list of important things right now that I'm not detracting from what happened and those responsible. Just thought it was interesting because to me (personal opinion) it is a great opportunity for BLM to gain a lot of credibility with mainstream people. To speak out against killing cops because you are angry and to seperate yourself from the narrative so many people are forcing down our throats about your movement.

[Warlord23]

Of all the politicians, the one guy who has pointed out the elephant in the room when it comes to the relationship between law enforcement and people of color is Gary Johnson (libertarian). He correctly blames the War on Drugs as the root of the problem: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/gary-johnson-dallas-shooting-225294

If America is serious about tackling gun violence, this is the first thing to focus on. Blaming black crime and Obama (as the right is prone to do) or calling for more gun restrictions (the solution from the left) will not solve the problem unfortunately.

The War on Drugs has not been about drugs as much as it has been about political power and money. To quote a Nixon advisor:

The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.

Later on, it became a great way for police departments to get additional money by raiding the assets of private citizens.

Till voters make this a central issue in politics and vote out the corrupt bastards who refuse to end this travesty, problems like this will not go away.

War on drugs upped the ante even more under Clinton. Both sides have been wrong.


WASHINGTON -- President Clinton signed into law yesterday a bill to continue punishing crack-cocaine crimes far more severely than powder-cocaine crimes -- a difference that civil rights activists say is racist.

"I am not going to let anyone who peddles drugs get the idea that the cost of doing business is going down," Mr. Clinton said in nullifying a plan by the U.S. Sentencing Commission to make punishments the same for crack cocaine and powdered cocaine.

As a result, those convicted of crack crimes -- mainly blacks -- will receive the same punishments as those who deal in much greater amounts of powder cocaine. The president, defending hTC the difference, said inner-city communities are hit much harder by crack-related violence.

Bookaki, you are an ignorant partisan tool.

Thanks, Dems, for the War on Drugs. It was Woodrow Wilson who started it by signing off on the first federal drug prohibition (the Harrison Narcotics Act of 1914, which was introduced by a Democrat Congressman from New York). It was FDR who signed off on the first federal regulation of cannabis (the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937) and vocally supported the Uniform State Narcotic Drug Act of 1934, a series of state laws that strictly regulated marijuana.

Just like Prohibition, the War on Drugs was the brainchild of "progressive" control freaks who wanted to control how everyone around them lived their lives. Nixon is just the scapegoat that today's liberals point to so they can dodge the blame for its failure.

Oath Keepers group calls for armed struggle against ‘Marxists’ in bonkers reaction to Dallas shootings

Rhodes writes on the official Oath Keepers website (https://www.oathkeepers.org/snipers-kill-four-officers-wound-seven-during-dallas-black-lives-matter-protest/) that this horrible tragedy shows that the job of policing America is too big for the cops to do alone — instead, “all patriotic Americans” need to arm themselves to defend the country against the “Marxists” who are conspiring to spark a war between police and American citizens.

“What is now needed, more than ever, is the reestablishment of the militia of the people, trained, equipped and organized in each town, to defend against what is now clearly a ‘Tet Offensive’ American style, as Navy SEAL veteran Matt Bracken warned (https://www.oathkeepers.org/matt-bracken-on-the-alex-jones-show/),” Rhodes writes.

“While we work to reestablish that militia system, you must go armed at all times, and be prepared, at all times, to defend your community against these Marxist terrorists as well as their Islamist terror allies. Remember, they are in league, and you are their common enemy and their common targets.”

Let's not omit how crook St. Ronnie and his administration sold out the U.S. allowing the Contras to push cocaine and crack into this country at bargain basement prices (mainly into poor black neighborhoods) in droves to fund their little war. This country never heard of crack until the Reagan administration. Meanwhile Nancy was doing her "Just say no" commmercials :lol

Precisely how I feel. While I hope that cops that abuse power and ultimately commit murder are brought to justice, we also need to understand they represent a small percentage of the police force. They are given enormous responsibility because they put their lives on the line every day to keep people safe.

Same.

But I do sometimes question the type of personality the job attracts. And it is still clear to me that the US as a whole is not in agreement on the actual duties of cops. In Western Europe many police do not carry guns and will get harassed by citizens. But they often work close to the very people they monitor in smaller cities. They take drunks home and break up fights. Don't have to worry about getting a gun pulled on them. And they get beat up on occasion but just strap it back up and go to work. They are much more peacekeeping oriented without having to aggressively serve up apprehension. With this country, it's not clear and varies widely.

Trump supporter who waved gun at Black Lives Matter rally came armed for a massacre

Michael Strickland, the right-wing agitator and Trump supporter seen in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH7aTp8DsVI) brandishing a gun at a peaceful Black Lives Matter rally, has been charged with two class A felonies after being arrested and initially released Friday morning on his own recognizance (https://www.mcso.us/PAID/Home/Booking/1378403) without bail.

At his arraignment today at the Multnomah County Courthouse in downtown Portland Strickland was hit with two felony counts of “unlawful use of a weapon,” as well asmisdemeanor charges (https://www.mcso.us/PAID/Home/Booking/1378403) of menacing and disorderly conduct.

The hearing took place on the same block where Strickland pulled a Glock 27, swept the gun at the crowd while yelling “Get the hell back!” He subsequently outfitted the gun with a large capacity magazine.

At the scene, Strickland said he was only armed in self-defense. But the Multnomah County District Attorney revealed in court that Strickland had six magazines of ammunition on him.

In videos of the incident, Strickland also appears to be far out of the range of any protesters when he menaced them with his gun. Some protesters can be seen facing Strickland with their hands up and urging him to put the gun away and to leave.

One Shooter; No Snipers—Grossly Inaccurate Police And Media Information About Dallas Killings

Even after the Dallas Morning News changed its headline Friday afternoon to read (http://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/headlines/20160707-dallas-sniper-was-loner-army-vet-with-stash-of-arms-bomb-parts-at-home.ece), “Dallas sniper was loner, Army vet with stash of arms, bomb parts at home,” the article’s second paragraph said, “Four Dallas police officers and a DART officer were shot and killed in a coordinated sniper attack that followed a Thursday night protest.”

The incorrect sniper meme was repeated internationally, such as this headline from the British Mirror (http://http//www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/dallas-police-shooting-black-power-8378177), “Dallas police shooting: ‘Black Power group’ claims responsibility for police killings and warns of more assassinations to come.”

The team-of-snipers theory, nonetheless, was repeated in media accounts, including with police-attributed information that multiple snipers positioned themselves on elevated ground to triangulate and hit their targets.

What had happened instead was Johnson, a military veteran who served in Afghanistan, used armed combat shooting techniques from a position on the ground to shoot cops one by one.

It was also reported the sniper was shooting from the roof of a garage, I also heard a sniper was on another building. In that clip, the guy was on the ground shooting.

Im trying to figure out how he got from the roof, to the ground and back up so fast. I don't think this guy was alone.

I think most of the shooting heard is echoes off the buildings multiplying the shots and makes it difficult to know where the actual shots are coming from. I hate driving downtown and hearing a siren because you can't tell where its coming from until it's right on you.

I'm sure it happens but not nearly often enough. The good cops aren't going to call out the bad cops. No one wants to get Frank Serpico'd or be "the rat" like Joe Crystal. If you're in a bad police department like Ferguson calling out bad shit probably ends your career and at the least gets you harrassed if there's the unwritten "code of silence" rule.

Rudy Giuliani: "Black lives matter" is racist, anti-American

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani says the Black Lives Matter movement puts a target on the back of police officers.

Guiliani adds, "When you say black lives matter, that's inherently racist."

[Winehole23]

sunlight is antithetical to the chief traditional function of police: to trample political non-conformists, non-whites and the underclass unmolested.

in this respect, BLM and streaming video captures of abusive, even deadly policework, have aroused distrust and sown division between the police and the public it serves -- it's telling that certain cadres feel like casting the veil off dodgy arrests and extrajudicial killings is a war against them.

I guess it does feel like war when you lose your privilege to jail and kill others without good reason, and with near total immunity.

Texas Open-Carry Laws Blurred Lines Between Suspects and Marchers

Twenty to 30 of the marchers showed up with AR-15s and other types of military-style rifles and wore them openly, with the straps slung across their shoulders and backs.

In Texas, it was not only legal. It was commonplace.

the only thing good blm has done is draw attention to police brutality and start the implementation of body cameras across the nation. idk y right wingers let them get under their skin. blm is all talk at this point and like you said, marching and protesting does nothing. the only thing white supremacy responds to is violence and loss of money.

Hume: 'Obama Chooses to See Through the Eyes of an Aggrieved Black Activist'


President Obama will be in Dallas on Tuesday to try to calm racial tensions that, according to Brit Hume, "his own behavior has done much to aggravate."

"The president has consistently chosen to see things through the eyes of an aggrieved black activist rather than of a president of all the people," Hume said.

http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/07/11/hume-obama-sees-through-eyes-aggrieved-black-activist

The white male identity politics hate channel slanders Obama to inflame the racist hate in their white male audience.

Hume refuses to see the difference between a criminal killing a cop and a cop killing a non-threatening black person.
