Police are in negotiations with a suspect, who has been exchanging gunfire with police in a standoff that's been going on for 45 minutes. This person says that "the end is near," and there are bombs all over down town and that many more police officers will be killed tonight.
A female is in custody - from the garage.
A Mercedes was followed into Oak Cliff and two people from that vehicle are in custody.
Downtown Dallas is an active crime scene - don't go to work downtown without checking with DPD website to see if your building and traffic routes are open.
Yes I already said that. Still, here's the picture of one suspect.
Granted, fog of war right now. I remember that the OKC bombing was initially reported as somebody of Middle Eastern origin. Obviously, the press got it wrong there. Might be wrong this time.
Still, if the shooters are all black, this kinda blows the hell outa the BLM movement. Yes, black lives do matter but now you've seriously pissed off every cop in the country and you can bet that black lives will matter less to them in the near future. Like I said, this creates a huge mess!! Hopefully this turns out to be another case of misreporting, whatever their ethnicity this won't end well.
They've already cleared his name(the guy in the photo). He turned himself in a while ago. You're super late. He was innocent.

This will be the end of BLM if the shooters are black. They better be ready to be harassed more than Arabs.

This is insane. 48 years ago the 1968 election was memorable for being one of the darkest years in American politics. A lot of the same conditions exist today as then. There is a tension in the air as there would be before a big earthquake.
Targeting innocent police officers is only going to escalate the cycle of killing. The POTUS needs to address the nation tomorrow and try to quell the spiraling violence.
There is some tension at a 7-11 downtown. A line of police officers are standing in a line in front of the store. US Marshals are there as well as about twenty or more police officers with a lot of people milling around and some smack talk going down but no violence.
This is a designated gathering place for people waiting for buses to take them out of downtown. Apparently there are lots of people whose cars are "trapped" downtown and who don't have a ride home.
There are about four idiots clearly trying to antagonize the police. The rest of the people are just standing around.
It isn't "crazy" it was very predictable. The anti-cop thing is huge and we all knew this was going to happen at some point, but didn't know where or when. This will be the norm now. Get used to it. People are anti cop, so there is a movement. Better be careful what you are wishing for. Thug nation taking over? Um, I think it is time to move out of cities for sure. Hope it doesn't happen in my town, but probably will in the next year or two. Violence is escalating quite a bit and people seem to be anti cop. Perfect storm for cop killing.
We are headed for a very military style police force at some point. People won't go for this crap.
My thoughts are with those families in Dallas that lost their family members. I have been around grieving police families. Things will change from this. People will start realizing the problem is the criminals and not the cops!
