Eleven Dallas law enforcement officers were shot, three fatally, by what is believed to be two snipers who opened fire during a demonstration downtown over recent police shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana, the Dallas police chief said.
The snipers fired from an elevated positions on police officers minutes before 9 p.m., Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters.
"We believe that these suspects were positioning themselves in a way to triangulate on these officers from two different perches in garages in the downtown area, and planned to injure and kill as many law enforcement officers as they could," he said. Some were shot in the back.
Three of the 11 officers died, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition, Brown said.

The Black Lies Matters zoo animals think they're making it better for their inner city scumbag peers... but those urban animals have twice as much chance that they'll feel the cold steel of a Glock pressed behind their left ear on a traffic stop.
Pretty soon, LE will be policing from the rooftops... just like I've been suggesting all along. Every time a Black Lies Matters, anarchist McVeigh like Paultard or an active gunman shooter shits where they live, they cause equipment, training and personnel budgets to GO UP... expect more of your tax money spend on SWAT, tactical equipment.
Think of it like this, we all know when Obunghole threatens gun laws, the masses go out and buy millions of guns. Well the same shit works for threatening cops. So by all means, keep up the good work, douchebags. The 5 cops dead will be REPLACED by 10 more. It is what it is... and if a black suspect gives LE justification to shoot them, they'll still get shot.
Breathe easy, don't break the law.

You sound like MSM, when after an active gunman shooting, the shooter was discovered to be a libtarded democrat.

I'll bet that after info gets released, the shooters will be Decktard thinking domestic terrorist. Weak minds that have been subjected to Paultard fear mongering for too long. Time will tell... Texas has its share of the Bob Molests 3% hero's.

Roscoe and the canary cop lovers are estatic at the prospect of an authoritarian crackdown.
We don't even know yet who the criminal shooters were, or their motives, but you're making conclusions.
There you go, making my point, -- you're getting ready to shoot 'animals' at traffic stops, making YOU the problem..
Rant on, advocating more authoritarian tactics, when this is part of the problem, not a solution.
Don't worry, be happy, and your big brother authoritarians will take care of you? --- Dream on, canary.

First of all - I'm NOT surprised that you once again displayed your cowardice by not pinging me directly. It' pretty much SOP for you canary clowns.
Second, the adage "you reap what you sow" applies here. I'm not surprised that this happened, it was bound to happen eventually.
Am I "celebrating"? No. The snipers acted unwisely. It was a peaceful protest and what the shooters did will have the effect of ramping up the police state even further.
Which will please you immensely I'm sure.
Expect to see more of this durning the upcoming presidential conventions.

Are you happy or sad that the officers were unjustly murdered?
I don't know them personally so I am neither happy or sad.
However I do feel bad for their families.

Yep. Our first black President who will finally unite the country. Tell me things have not gotten worse.
But I blame the press. Time after time they misreport what actually happened when a black person is shot. It started with Trayvon Martin, then Ferguson, now the Freddie Gray case is crumbling.

Do you think that the murdered officers reaped what they sowed?

#51: Pinguinite To: Deckard (#25)
Indeed. The basic problem is that cops are constantly indoctrinated to the level of paranoia into believing that everyone will try to kill them at any opportunity. This is why the CC holder was shot and killed after he, in accordance with the law, informed the cop he had a gun and then reached for his license, also as instructed.
If he hadn't informed the cop he had a gun, he would have been fine. He died because of a law that is in place to protect cops from honest, law abiding people. (Obviously the law won't do anything to protect cops from lying thugs). And now the cop who shot that guy might also be serving serious time in part because of that same law that's supposed to protect him.
But cops are conditioned every day to think that people are out to kill them. And now with this event in Dallas, it has become a self-fulfilling prophesy. I would venture that the majority of cops are good people, and those killed today had no personal involvement in the shootings being protested. Ergo, most of the cops shot &/or killed are/were probably good people.
And now there will likely be more shootings by cops of innocent civilians because of even more heightened paranoia.

I think the culture of paranoia that is within the police community has fostered events like in Dallas for the reasons already stated. A year or 2 ago, 2 police officers were shot and killed as they sat in their cruisers by some guy who apparently went to NY just to kill cops. The motive seemed to be the killing of the guy by a cop who put him in an illegal strangle hold. I don't remember names well. Was that the guy who was allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes or whatnot?
In spite of the illegal chock hold resulting in death no charges. Kinda like Hillary Clinton. Well, no. Not kinda. Exactly like HC. So many other incidents as well. To get charged, it has to be blatant, like the cop that shot the guy in the back as he was running away from him, and he probably was just unlucky that he was being filmed doing so. Even shooting people in the back as they are restrained on the ground is only sometimes prosecuted.
To answer your question, I don't even know the names of the cops killed in Dallas yesterday, much less a single thing about their history or temperment, so I have no idea what they sowed. But I'm sure that won't stop you from posting more libel about my state of mind, will it.

It's a true, factual statement.
What's that private outfit that teaches cops how to shoot people at the slightest suspicion that their life is in danger? And then goes around offering legal defence for them after an innocent person gets shot and killed?

I'm not saying that and I don't think that's what it sounds like. It's a similar situation with US foreign policy of killing with drones and such in the mideast and elsewhere against "terrorists" but which too often kills innocent people. Friends and relatives of those innocent people become "radicalized" and then take up a cause of militant revenge, get labeled as terrorists and the cycle continues.
If one is going to be obligated to call one unjust killing unjustified, without being obligated to call other unjust killings unjustified, then that's a double standard, and that makes people take the law into their own hands. That's blowback. Will Roscoe, GI and others dare even suggest that the killing of the CC holder *might* be unjustified?
Will I be called to the mat on my statement, while they are given a free pass on theirs?
I guess I should formally ping them because I mention them, but they don't care what I have to say or think so I won't bother...
