Re: Black Lives Matter Takes Over Liberal Meeting
Local news now saying 10 officers shot, possibly 3 dead. Unconfirmed reports saying possibly 3 snipers gunned them down. Still active at this time.

Yeah the latest is 3 officers dead, 3 in critical, 4 injured. The police chief called them 2 "snipers" from an elevated position. A witness said the shots came from a parking garage across the street.

Reporting 11th officer shot in an exchange with one of the shooters.
Edit: Theres some chubby broad with a cellphone giving these guys the business for detaining a dude wearing a bullet proof vest. What the fuck is wrong with her.

Re: Dallas Police Shootings
Surprised the main networks aren't covering it... Fox and CNN are pretty much worthless right now as well. It would be nice to hear from the President tonight, even though it's after midnight.

Re: Dallas Police Shootings
The news says that there are no suspects in custody and that they are wanting to speak to the man in the picture. This is horrible.
Edit: Sounds like he just turned himself in.

A lot of anger in the streets. I'm a little surprised this doesn't happen more often... but I'm glad it doesn't.
The person in the photo of the suspect has turned himself in.

I hope this incident can somehow unite citizens and the good police officers that work in the interest of protecting them.

Looking forward to seeing President Obama on TV tomorrow decrying this violence. It would be the best course of action to try and mend the growing hatred of police in this country.

Re: Dallas Police Shootings
Now they are saying that there are 4 people total. One of them is a female and the others are males with camo duffle bags.
