Yea way to take it out on dudes that had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with why they were protesting.

The Dallas Mayor just said he was told the female suspect is a light skinned African American on CNN

An eye for an eye will blind us all. People want to complain that who ever is president is destroying America. When in reality the citizens are the ones destroying the country from within.

Agree. WTF is the matter with people? This is terrible. I feel sick for the families of the fallen.

"Last night’s horrific execution-style shootings of 12 Dallas law enforcement officers – five of whom were killed and seven wounded - is an attack on our country. It is a coordinated, premeditated assault on the men and women who keep us safe.

We must restore law and order. We must restore the confidence of our people to be safe and secure in their homes and on the street.

The senseless, tragic deaths of two motorists in Louisiana and Minnesota reminds us how much more needs to be done.

This morning I offer my thoughts and prayers for all of the victims’ families, and we pray for our brave police officers and first responders who risk their lives to protect us every single day.

Our nation has become too divided. Too many Americans feel like they’ve lost hope. Crime is harming too many citizens. Racial tensions have gotten worse, not better. This isn’t the American Dream we all want for our children.

This is a time, perhaps more than ever, for strong leadership, love and compassion. We will pull through these tragedies."

DC something about a person of interest.
Sorry between CNN twitter and forums I'm losing track here.

Dallas gunman killed by bomb robot, 'wanted to kill officers,' officials say - LA Times
I don't wanna post his name, but the dead suspects name is in this article.

The Donald with some refinement...good message

The funny part is about how this is not being called a "hate crime" despite one of the suspects saying he literally targeted "white people and police officers" for execution. It's also funny how -- despite being perpetrated by multiple black people at a Black Lives Matter protest -- it's totally not the fault of that supremacist, racist organization that preaches that all white people are evil andracist.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

This whole thing just leaves me sick to my stomach. Prayers to all who are affected by this senseless tragedy.

An eye for an eye will blind us all. People want to complain that who ever is president is destroying America. When in reality the citizens are the ones destroying the country from within.

From Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address in which he begins, "Fellow Countrymen":

The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

So the guy with the picture that was plastered last night was innocent? Man, that's horrible for that guy.

 

[woolybug25]

I'll tell you what, just got done listening to Mike Rawlings (Dallas mayor) and am really impressed with him. A true leader. Too bad he isn't one of the presidential candidates.

I was watching on the Dallas fox channel starting around 11 pm central and they repeatedly said he was only a person of interest they wanted to speak with. Were they calling him the shooter or something on other channels or earlier in the night?

He was first identified as 'a suspect' in some places... anyway, seems he had nothing to do with anything and no harm came to him... all is as well as it can be there.

I think one place last night labeled him a suspect and posted his picture.

I thought they handled it extremely well. He was a man fitting the description of the shooter that also happened to bring a large gun to the rally (legal in TX). He has incredibly bad luck in that respect. But the city put his picture up, called him a person of interest and he was able to surrender. The press has clearly announced that he wasn't part of the shooting after his surrender. For the circumstances he put himself in (possessing a firearm while fitting the description of the shooter at the scene of the crime), he came away with the very best of outcome. He could have been shot on sight.

I completely agree. There's a low-quality video going around that shows him surrendering the rifle to the police and both he and the officers involved handled it very calmly and maturely.

IIRC the Dallas PD first identified him as a person if interest and at one point may have tweeted the word suspect also.

I think one place last night labeled him a suspect and posted his picture.

 

[calvegas04]

Looking at twitter it seems a lot of the BLM members think the shooting is fake and is being used to create a race war
