I don't know why the moderator closed a similar thread or why it was moved from Current Events since Dallas is clearly not only the story of day but of the year?
There are 3 people in custody who are reported to be not cooperating:

When you see BLM parades where they are chanting "kill cops" what do you expect?

I heard he wanted to kill "white cops" not whites and cops but both together.

Three suspects arrested. A fourth one was pinned down and is now dead. So no, it does not appear to be a single individual acting alone.

Fog of war folks. We're not going to know much with any certainty for another week or so.

It is about time people talk about how to protect men and women in blue.
What I'm saying is that the police are not unique in being targeted by lone agitators. Everyone is a target.

Listen, I understand this one hits home for you but perhaps now you get why people are so angry about the senseless death of multiple people, either at the hand of rogue gunmen or cops. (Not I'm not in any way justifying it. Not in ANY WAY. But it would appear you've just woken up to how disgusting it all is.)

huh?

I don't get what makes you think that this one hits home for me. I am sure I am not the only one who has friends who are police officers.

It is pretty darn disgusting to paint ANY group with one broad brush. But this particular thread is about Dallas Cop shooting. It is about time people talk about how to protect these people in uniform.

It should be interesting to see how many dead or injured cops were actually black.
