Cops shot at Dallas BLM protest

[hollohas]

Chief Brown said a police robot delivered the explosive that killed the barricaded suspect. Good.

Awesome.

The shooters in Dallas ARE the Democrat Party. #BLM is a constituency of the #DNC.

Obama is as much to blame for this shooting as the shooters themselves.

Absolutely correct. Make no mistake. This mass killing of police officers really took shape in Ferguson. It didn't start there, but it solidified into the BLM movement there. BLM is nothing more than leftist-sanctioned hate. It's an excuse for outright racism and hatred to be not only tolerated, but encouraged, in the name of equality. And it's a lie. The leftists in this country, from Obama, to black "leaders" like Jeremiah Wright, Sharpton, Jackson and other prominent democrats consumed with white guilt pulled the triggers last night. They have been fomenting hate and division for years and they use the excuse of an "epidemic" of white officers shooting black men to fuel their agenda. Even when the shootings are justified...Michael Brown.

So, in the spirit of leftist-hatred, let me just say I hate the left. I hate them personally, I hate what they stand for, I hate what they want and what they're doing. Yes..."hate" is a strong term. Frankly, it's not strong enough but it's the only word I can think of now. They've been crapping on this country and it's traditional values for years. If it isn't stopped, this country is going to a place I don't wanna go.

Typical leftist strategy. Create chaos like this through tragedy then exploit it, blaming it on someone other than your own ideology, in order to further the leftist agenda. Lenin is looking up from hell and smiling.

This is what leftist policy and ideology brings the country. They exploit division, prey on emotions and this is the result. The democrat party is a far greater strategic threat to freedom in this country than a couple of shooters in Dallas. That isn't meant do marginalize what happened to individual officers and their families.

And like the late 30's in Germany. they have a propaganda machine doing the work for them.

BLM should now be classified as a terrorist group.

That's like saying if we had a 2a rally and some batshit started shooting people that the nra was responsible. Let's mourn the officers and Not turn into people who judge people by their color, I don't love the blm/occupy/extreme dems, but the crazy bastards that shot the cops don't represent all of them.

Logical thinking is not understood on the active protesters side of the street.

I have little to add that hasn't been said but... I'm really sad for those families today. As I predicted, the BLM fools wouldn't let the system work and demonstrated how dangerous they are. The victims from last night had nothing to do with those other shootings.

The guilt from those shootings was assigned to last night's victims on the basis of race and occupation. That tells us plenty about who and what BLM has become. And Yes, I assign blame to that "movement" because they frequently chant that they want dead cops.

This is what leftist policy and ideology brings the country. They exploit division, prey on emotions and this is the result. The democrat party is a far greater strategic threat to freedom in this country than a couple of shooters in Dallas.

This is the big picture folks. There have been racial divisions and controversies in the past but now we have leadership rocking the boat and whipping people up (useful idiots) passing the point no return. They are taking manageable exceptions and creating exponential consequences for all of us.

Maybe...but there's probably some "good" people in the KKK, too. And I don't see a lot of love and sympathy for them...not that they deserve any. And I don't see a lot of good coming from BLM. That movement, as a whole, was founded and based on a racist lie. If you associate with BLM you're part of the problem as far as I'm concerned, just as you're part of the problem if you associate with the KKK. As a matter of fact, I see BLM no differently than the KKK.

Question for the LEO's here on the board: Apart from SWAT, do police in major cities get basic urban active shooter training? Or are PD's just lucky when they hire ex-military (especially from the combat arms MOS's) who bring those skills with them?
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the average police officer doesn't get the kind of training to deal with last night's situation. I imagine it'd be prohibitively expensive.

tangent: on TV an anchor was interviewing some LEO expert who made the point that "it's so easy for everyone to grab a camera and film instances where police don't do their job perfectly, but you never see those same people filming drug deals or illegal gun dealing" [for the purposes of shaming criminals].
