Prayers are being sought for our nation’s brave police after violence ripped through their ranks in Dallas, Texas last night.
Crazed, racially-motivated gunmen shot and killed five police officers and wounded seven others in a coordinated attack during a Black Lives Matter protest, authorities said. It appeared to be the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the 2001 terrorist attacks.
One of the gunmen, killed by police, offered chilling final words: He’d planted explosives throughout the city, and the ‘end was coming.’
As of press time, explosives had not been found.
Police Chief David Brown blamed multiple “snipers,” but it was unclear how many shooters were involved. Authorities initially said three suspects were in custody and a fourth dead. He was identified as Michah Xavier Johnson, an Army reserve veteran.

Brown later said police were not certain that all suspects had been located.
Mayor Mike Rawlings said the dead suspect was slain by police using explosives in a parking garage where the man had exchanged gunfire with officers.
Before dying, the police chief said, the dead suspect declared to officers that he was upset about recent shootings and wanted to kill whites, “especially white officers.”
The suspect had also said he was not affiliated with any groups and stated that he acted alone, Brown added.
None of the suspects were identified, and the police chief said he would not disclose any details about them until authorities were sure everyone involved was in custody.
The Associated Press reported that the shooting began about 8:45 p.m. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the week’s fatal police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota. Brown told reporters the snipers fired “ambush style” on the officers. Two civilians were also wounded, Rawlings said.
Brown said it appeared the shooters “planned to injure and kill as many officers as they could.” Video from the scene showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.
“I think the biggest thing that we’ve had something like this is when JFK died,” resident Jalisa Jackson said early Friday from downtown. Officers crouched beside vehicles, armored SWAT team vehicles arrived and a helicopter hovered overhead.
Demonstrations were held in several other U.S. cities Thursday night to protest the police killings of two more black men: A Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child, the shooting’s aftermath livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video. A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.
Thursday’s shootings occurred in an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments only a few blocks from Dealey Plaza, the landmark made famous by the Kennedy assassination.
The scene was chaotic, with officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.
“Everyone just started running,” Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. “We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there.”
Carlos Harris, who lives downtown, told the newspaper that the shooters “were strategic. It was tap, tap, pause. Tap, tap pause,” he said.
Brown said police don’t have a motivation for the attacks or any information on the suspects. He said they “triangulated” in the downtown area where the protesters were marching and had “some knowledge of the route” they would take.
Video posted on social media appeared to show a gunman at ground level exchanging fire with a police officer who was then felled.
Rawlings said one of wounded officers had a bullet go through his leg as three members of his squad were fatally shot around him.
“He felt that people don’t understand the danger of dealing with a protest,” said Rawlings, who spoke to the surviving officer. “And that’s what I learned from this. We care so much about people protesting, and I think it’s their rights. But how we handle it can do a lot of things. One of the things it can do is put our police officers in harm’s way, and we have to be very careful about doing that.”
Early Friday morning, dozens of officers filled the corridor of the emergency room at Baylor Medical Center, where other wounded officers were taken. The mayor and police chief were seen arriving there.
Four of the officers who were killed were with the Dallas Police Department, a spokesman said. One was a Dallas Area Rapid Transit officer. The agency said in a statement that 43-year-old officer Brent Thompson was the first officer killed in the line of duty since the agency formed a police department in 1989.
“Our hearts are broken,” the statement said.
Theresa Williams said one of the wounded civilians was her sister, 37-year-old Shetamia Taylor.
The identity of the other civilian casualty was not immediately known. Mayor Rawlings said he did not believe either had life-threatening injuries.
Williams said her sister was shot in the right calf and had thrown herself over her four sons, ages 12 to 17, when the shooting began.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to offer “whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs.”
“In times like this we must remember – and emphasize – the importance of uniting as Americans,” Abbott said.
Other protests across the U.S. on Thursday were peaceful, including in New York, Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia. In Minnesota, where Castile was shot, hundreds of protesters marched in the rain from a vigil to the governor’s official residence.
President Barack Obama said America is “horrified” over the shootings and there’s no possible justification for the attacks. He called them “vicious, calculated and despicable.”
Speaking from Warsaw, Poland, where he was meeting with leaders of the European Union and attending a NATO summit, the president asked all Americans to pray for the fallen officers and their families and said the nation should express its gratitude to law enforcement.
The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, which tracks on-duty deaths, said the fatal shootings made Thursday the deadliest day for U.S. police since Sept. 11.

Main Street says
I saw on a news that the area of this terrible crime is near the old Texas School Book Depository Building where the JFK tragedy happened 53 years ago. A sad coincidence that 2 of the USA’s most horrible crimes happened in the same place. Sad.
Hondo says
When viewing the picture of this scumbag Johnson, I had to spit upon my screen.
He’s deservedly off on his way to eternal punishment!
What a sad and heartbreaking day.
The very brave men and women who do their best to keep the streets safe for you and me now targets because of the hatred which has been fueled, fanned and flamed by none other than the despicable POTUS with the likes of Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson.
They too, will join Johnson in their eternity.
Peace to all in Christ Jesus
Ron M says
I couldn’t agree more. The POTUS has thrown fuel on this fire and has a share of the blame for this……and yet all he can talk about is making guns harder for law abiding citizens to obtain. Worse yet, he has the nerve to pretend that he gives a lick about police officers and the rule of law. If that were the case, his administration wouldn’t be stepping all over our constitutional rights. Obama and his cronies in Congress must think Americans are fools & easily manipulated weaklings. Wake up America, there is only ONE CHOICE in November…..and it’s not the criminal Hillary Clinton.
Lola Martin says
History repeats itself.
Alan Hastings says
Has anyone bothered to take notice that the ones doing the killing are either blacks and of illegals, and so is Obama and Lynch, Start connecting the dots. In do not see Jackson or Sharpton speaking out against their actions. The blacks and Illegals are encouraged by the top 4 black race baiters to kill whites and police yet never charged with hate crimes.
DISGUSTED says
ANOTHER RADICAL ISLAMIC EXTREMIST INSPIRED BY THE WHITE HOUSE!!
PRESIDENT TRUMP 2016!!
Arthur Hartsock says
Johnson is more accurately a Black Panther/Black Power guy who just hated whites and white cops. No connection with Islamic nonsense so far.
Alan Humphries says
Why oh why isn’t the New Black Panther party a domestic terrorist organization?
I’ll give you one guess.
tom says
I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING IT WAS A PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION IN DALLAS. IF IT HADN’T BEEN A DEMONSTRATION IN THE FIRST PLACE THESE FIVE MEN WOULD BE STILL GOING HOME AT NIGHT TO SEE THEIR FAMILIES. HADN’T BEEN FOR PEOPLE LITTERING THE STREETS FOR A CAUSE THAT YOU STILL DON’T KNOW IF THE FACTS ARE TRUE, THE FACEBOOK POST DOESN’T SHOW THE WHOLE INCIDENT, IT ONLY STARTED AFTER THE SHOOTING OF THE MAN IN THE CAR, UNDERSTANDING THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH, THSES FIVE MEN WOULD HAVE BEEN HOME TO SEE THEIR FAMILIES WE RUSH TO JUDGE FOR A CAUSE, WHY AREN’T YOU AND YOUR ORGANIZATION PROTESTING AND DEMOSTRATING IN THE STREETS OF CHICAGO? IT IS ALRIGHT FOR YOU TO BUTCHER YOUR OWN RACE FOR NO REASON? THEN WHERE IS THE OUTPOURING OF DISCUSS IN CHICAGO? THATS BECAUSE YOUR ORGANIZATION IN PHONEY AND THEY WANT PUBLICITY NOT WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF PEOPLE. MORE CORRUPTION
Main Street says
A demographic having a president, attorney general and 40% of the mayors in our 100 largest cities crying disenfranchisement. A demographic that can check off the right box at test or hiring time crying discrimination.
Main Street says
America has become so much more divided and adrift in the past 7 years. Able bodied folks both domestic and foreign making the career choice to go on EBT, WIC, Sec. 8 housing etc. while the working class flounders. Folks crying racism ONLY when it effects their demographic, but not caring about others who are wronged. Political leaders rushing to judgment against the police. Even the police acting like they belong to a private club instead of being public servants. Folks crying discrimination even though they receive scholarships and can check off the right box at hiring time. Wealthy women running for office pretending to be underdogs. Young and middle aged folks unable to find jobs above minimum wage. The list could go on. Things are so bad that the days of Nixon and Carter look great.
TifanyT. says
Sad sad days we live in now. I can only fantasize how our lives would be different had Obama not cheated to win the election..both times. I ponder in horror what our lives will turn to if Hillary is elected into the White House.
retired says
if hillary even gets close to the WH again she willy and obama will have your children and grandchildren reading the Quran in school daily……no doubt about that….
Mathew Molk says
Got to agree with you.
Jim Evans says
If cops wasn’t so trigger happy, them maybe things like this wouldn’t happen. Police have killed several ” Unarmed ” people for No reason other than they just wanted to kill people. Then when they go to court, they are found not guilty as cops stick up for other cops. It is the ” Blue Code Of Silence ” What happened to Tazers ?
Fedup says
So I’m guessing you were really upset at the death of a fellow pedophile, right?
Booker T says
Really Jim? So this whole thing got started due to a couple trigger happy cops? It has gotten out of control due to the demoralization of our society over many years. I think a President that throws it back in our face and a First Lady that has never been proud of her own country is just the last straw. The current administration that wanted a society that is dependent on the government has finally got what it wanted. They obviously didn’t have a plan for the fallout.

A MAN TO THAT YOU SAID IT ALL

this is the outcome of diversity in the white house, he has done more harm for the blacks, whites, and other races then any other prez in the history of the U.S. the deal with the devil was made and there is no turning back……
Noel says
276 whites were killed by police this year while 127 blacks and 89Hispanics were killed. You are part of the problem. People like you divide us and create false narratives. You protest police killings of blacks while remaining silent about black in black killings which are MUCH higher. You are brainwashed by the idiots like Obama and others that tell you fairy tales. One thing for sure, if it’s a civil war you people want, you will get it and you will get what us coming to you for what you have done to this country.
Pete says
amen-lock and load
wilbert jennings says
A race war will not go well for anyone especially for the minorities because when it comes down to it most are outnumbered and outgunned. They are going by it all wrong, obama is fueling these riots with paid protesters and idiots with muslim intentions and he is succeeding.He wants a race war so he can use his martial law and release the muslims from the sanctuary cities to crete the end of America. He is copying from the book what hitler did in Germany.
Bob says
It’s not Hussein Obama and his minions fault but the idiots that voted for them, not once but twice!!
Christopher S. O'Rourke says
Don’t forget the spoiled brat, whinny, cry baby NON VOTERS who constantly complain in public, but have never, ever voted at all for NO REASON. 98% of the complainers in public are the NON VOTERS that will go and point their fingers at all of the political and every single kind of corruption there is, but they will never, ever vote at all for NON REASON. The NON VOTERS are more responsible for what happens by NOT VOTING AT ALL FOR NO REASON, THE NON VOTERS JUST ALLOW & LET CORRUPTION TO HAPPEN & CONTINUE, NON VOTERS THAT CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN ALONG WITH THOSE THAT VOTE FOR THE POLITICAL CROOKS TOGETHER ARE BOTH RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRUPTION. ALL NON VOTERS ARE A TYRANTS & POLITICAL CROOKS BEST FRIENDS.
Peter says
Noel.
Isn’t this the thing obummer wants (civil disobedience) to issue martial law so he can stay in power? I thought it might be a little early but maybe not.
RD says
Your right. Cops just go to work hoping to kill and maim people. What a stupid comment. I’m a retired cop from one of the biggest departments in the world and I never knew anyone who felt that way. Maybe you should put a police uniform on for a day and see what it takes to be a cop. I’m betting you would have an involuntary bowel movement.
Donna Slivka says
He wouldn’t have the guts…….all people like him do is blame the police instead of the trash ~~~~~~~~Now we have a lot of dead policemen thanx to oblamo and his minions…..I notice he has filled OUR White House w/muslims………
L. Shamus McQuade says
RD you are correct. The spin doctors and the poor leadership in this country have allowed anarchy to rule where there is a total lack of respect for authority. The Black Lives Matters are an low emotional IQ group who broad brushes the situation of situations of bad police officers getting out of line ( who are a very small minority in numbers) to say ALL COPS ARE BAD thereby invoking the perps who did this who themselves have a low emotional IQ, huge egos and low intelligence IQ……….Whenever this happens you never hear Obama or his minions apply calming words or leadership, just code speak to condone it……That’s why the last 8 years have been a disaster under the most inept inexperienced administrations in US History, now appl that same ineptness and lack of leadership to our foreign policy, immigration, etc and it is very easy to see why
froggy57 says
They are only trigger happy with thugs who are acting up, then want to snivel when they get their dumb ass shot. Police should get a bonus when they take one out.
Donna Slivka says
BINGO, i’ll vote for that……..
Ellen says
Jim,
You are utterly Ridiculous and a racist yourself ! How dare you talk crap about the Police, my husband has been a COP for 30 years and has always protected and served EVERYONE, he is the MOST unpredjustice person !
I am tired of the ” Black Matters Whinning ” ! If most of the Black Thugs stayed out of trouble with their crimes, and smart mouths, rule defying attitudes, then the sick and tired and under paid, over worked, stressed Police would be a kinder gentler force. They never know when someone will kill them for just asking a question .
Yes, they have to be a brotherhood .. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian Cops have to stick together as you know there is a war on our protectors and servers !
Next time YOU need a COP…… Don’t call !
Mellin Grant Nelson says
Next to one’s self our local police are our protection from thugs. Unfortunately over the last two decades our black citizens have allowed enough of themselves to slip into a considerable number of poorly educated. A low level of formal education opens wide the ease of young people being influenced into thinking “I can get what I want, I’ll take the chance I won’t get caught”. Until educated black citizens see to it that their children are educated to obey the laws of the community their injury and death rates will continue to escalate. In order for our nation to continue “great” law and order must and will prevail. Sadly. the reputation of black citizens precedes them. Only they can change that.
Robin says
Do not be so ignorant… Police do not kill people for the sport of it, they shoot to protect themselves. If the Minnesota man would have kept his hands in plain sight the entire time he would be alive today. You have NO idea what was said to the man prior to the shooting, there has not been any video released to prove he did anything right OR wrong. In the USA all people are innocent until proven guilty so wait until the facts are in before you rush to judgement.
Constitutionalist says
Robin-
In the USA all people are innocent until proven guilty so wait until the facts are in before you rush to judgement.
You must be nxs of 70 years old. That’s the way it USED to be in America.
You must never have been accused of domestic violence, child molestation, or had any of your stuff stolen(“seized”) because you were but “suspected” of having something to do with drugs. Get accused of any of the foregoing, and watch your theory go “poof!”
Nothing like up-close-and-personal experience to teach the ignorant.
debdell says
Anyone with a gun should be respected. When I get stopped for a traffic violation I put both hands on the steering wheel where the cop can see them. If people use a little common sense they will have no problem. This incident just shows why cops have been more careful and sensitive to the risk of being shot by some criminal/gang member he stops. Good cops need to get rid of bad cops and not protect them. There are bad apples in every profession. And looking at politicians there are no good apples.
retired says
the girlfriend seemed pretty calm while the video was rolling,,,,,,, how come she did not video the police stop from beginning to end>???????
Pro Law Enforcement says
Your comments put all law enforcement as “trigger happy”, That’s the same as saying all people of this color skin are “this or that”. You have made gross generalizations to make a point – but your point isn’t valid. The stats don’t back your comments. All shootings aren’t to unarmed people – what about the officers in Dallas? Did they deserve to die just because they are white officers? Snipers outside of war are cowards. Hate isn’t the answer, neither is justifying killing cops that were there to protect the protesters. When are we going to have protests in the streets about the murdering of law enforcement by racist cowards that kill them in the name of race? None of this makes sense to me – it’s just pure hatred. One wrong action doesn’t justify another wrong action, no matter how it is spun. Without those who are in law enforcement, this country would be run by the thugs and criminals – of all races.
Lola Martin says
Listen idiots, the Cubans were stop, searched and questioned constantly during the 80’s because of the drug wars. We complied, although sometimes the cops were nasty. It was for our safety and we had the brains to understand it and put up with it. It was for the good of everyone. We never confronted the police, EXCEPT THE GANSTERS, and no one INNOCENT got killed. Comply and understand, that is if you have a brain.
[email protected] says
well said Lola !!!
Kevin says
Well said Lola
KMF says
I agree two of the recent shootings were unreasenable. That being so, it does not give BLM group the right to shoot at unarmed women and children and police not doing anything. I know the plan, BLM will start a very large riot in Cleveland when all h breaks loose Marshall law then no elections. I really hopen you understand what Marshall law is and what a dictatorship is. Many many more police go their entire career whiteout ever firing g their guns. Yes innocent people where killed in Dallas. Beware.
Constitutionalist says
KMF-
Marshal – wears a star, is usually a sheriff with deputies.
Marshall – a proper name, as in the “Marshall plan,” which rebuilt the countries devastated by WW2.
Martial – having to do with the military. When combined with “law,” means that the nation is under the control of the military, and military justice rules are in effect, often with “shoot to kill” orders and dusk-to-dawn curfews.
Note: the word “Martial” does NOT APPEAR in the Constitution, therefore any ATTEMPT to impose “martial law” ANYWHERE in America for ANY REASON would be self-evidently Unconstitutional, therefore UNlawful, therefore ILLEGAL, therefore CRIMINAL…and no one EVER need obey ANY criminal “law” whatsoever…for EVERYONE attempting to enforce such a law would BE a criminal…guilty of Oath Breaking at a minimum, for EVERY employee of the federal government swears first and foremost to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against ALL ENEMIES, foreign AND DOMESTIC.” Well, except the Judicial branch employees, whose oath is different.
Arthur Hartsock says
Unfortunately, the powers that be who govern/control our country haven’t paid attention to the US Constitution for years. And if Martial Law is imposed, any resistance will be met with deadly force. They’ll probably hope to kill a few to send a quick message. Dangerous times coming.
Suzie says
That’s what it’s about… Staying in power,since 1991 the movement for the new world order has become a goal to our traitors in our government.
No discipline or respect in the homes and none in the schools. Drugs and gang control, what can we expect in the future. No teaching right and wrong, no values not even life. A generation that can’t spell ” morally right ” , not just the blacks, the whites or police, it’s everywhere you look. Corruption and lawlessness. Every city,County and State has criminals in both the citizens and the police on up to their government on a crash course to destroy their own country.
A volcano ready to go, fault lines shifting and nobody gives a damn about life, look at the murders in the cities, young black men killing each other. Look at the abduction of children and selling them for pleasure of some pervert, pedafiles who can afford to hide their disease. Priests and pastors in the church don’t regard right and wrong. Tell me that life matters and who does it matter to ¿
wilbert jennings says
So you justify the murder of innocent cops. Remember Facebook is now public and all know how you feel. Why haven’t the black cops that went to jail and were acquitted not attacked. This isn’t a race thing it’s scared cops or wrong cops and they all should be punished, not innocent cops. These assassins that killed the cops are terrorist and as so should be executed. Why the riots over thugs and not good black cops.
[email protected] says
So I’m assuming you are celebrating the tragedy ……..I hope you never need a protection from law enforcement ever .
But keep in your ” closed mind” that whenever your will be stop by an armed police officer that his duty is to be armed
” DO NOT play stupid by NOT follow his orders if you don’t want to be shot ” Most milleniums have a very hard time with respect for authority , elderly and follow orders” ,they believe they are above the law and everyone else ,just because they can type a few words. And most politicians are eager to get their votes and will open they moth without their brains .Perfect example is the mayor in Minnesota I hope he feels happy now his justice it’s been served ….
but the blood of those 4 police officers and those # of injured ( maybe for the rest of their life IT’S ON MAYOR OF MINNESOTA HANDS .same with DA in Baltimore …..
Suzie says
The older generation had respect for the law, respect for life, respect for themselves… But the law had respect for human rights, the law had a respect for human life and they res voteforpected their duty and their country… They didn’t allow moonshiners and thugs to take over and control, how did a great nation go under so fast, the “law enforcers” allowed it, greed fueled the destruction of the young and drugs rule. Most murders in the cities are drug related. More are killed in American cities a day than in war per day. In these well planned teetaaas every time the chiefs want the guns, they have an episode. If we can go beyond a civil war and vote out the dictators and traitors when election time comes and the shootings will stop.
LJ says
I agree.
Jim says
Police do the best they can.you go out their and do what they do than open your mouth. You sit on your couch out of any danger and spout off. You have no clue what its like out their in the real world.
Mr. Sams says
Just think the cowards who shot those police officers thought they were doing justice for the black community. Policemen and women have a hard enough time doing their jobs without this happening. All police are condemned for what a few rouge cops have done. JUST WILL COME TO THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED. But don’t condemn those who are doing their job the right way and are really trying hard to make right for the unjust. GOD be with those officers and families who were injured and killed in Dallas.
Tom says
Our political leaders have waged this war between black and whites as well as the police. It is way beyond time to unite and as this article says stop allowing politicians and the elite to manipulate all of us. Our political leaders need to be taken down immediately. Then the elite needs to be dealt with as well.
jim says
The news media is to blame for this atrocious crime. They plaster the news when a black is killed by a white but you never hear about the blacks, or whites, that are killed by other blacks. The media is just creating controversy to sell news. Blacks and whites are victims of the media.
rodney burke says
Like Hannity said “Legitimate Journalism ENDED on 2009” You couldn’t watch TV on most channels because they were giving what is now a terrorist organization all their on the air time. Groups like this would stop if they stopped getting air time.That’s the trouble with the media, they don’t have their priorities straight.
Ed Meyer says
Call it what it is… This is TERRORISM… Perpetrated by the radical terrorist group Black Lives Matter…. PERIOD!

Killing Police is only the start of the game for the black lives matter, all lives should matter including Police, and this killer even admitted that killing white’s was part of his plans. This attitude will continue to explode if the country is left to a crooked administration and Hillwhorlhy becomes the Mob Boss.

Where is all the outrage when blacks kill blacks which seems to happen every day??? Don’t those black lives matter?

hENRY VERA says
President Barack Obama said America is “horrified” over the shootings and there’s no possible justification for the attacks. He called them “vicious, calculated and despicable.”
Obama forgot to said one think. the shooter were racial and black…this is a hate crime.
Main Street says
Will Ms. Loretta or junior G-man Comey prosecute the accused under the hate crime statutes? Or are they too busy covering up for Hillary? Ms. Loretta don’t know nothing about those darn e-mails. Junior G-man Comey tells Congress that Hillary lied, but no crime here.
Inspector Tom says
NO!, they will be too busy prosecuting the police for the use of explosives in killing the one.
Suzie says
They use to use sex to get the media off their backs over some crooked deal, now it’s mass shootings and racism. hellery needs the media off the emails…
hENRY VERA says
So he went to shoot white police officers.
what that make him. a killer ..a racial person.
that guy that was kill last Tuesday have a gun on him
and a long police record. so now the black people want to make him a hero.
and this stupid guy go and shot 7 police officers.
he claim he act alone. no way in hell he did that.
the black live matter people were invold in the police killing.
the Dallas police need to go after them and bring them to trial
and teach them a lesson…
Suzie says
Like the Dallas police covered up the Kennedy murder….. History
Harvey Schneider says
Hope that all the suspects were checked for gun powder residue. A simple but historic CSI method to determine if a person was a shooter. This may be important in their trials if they are indicted. If any were Clintons they will not be prosecuted since all Clinton’s are ignorant and therefore not prosecutable.
Apparently all the shooters were black, however this has not stated in any of the articles I have read or any of the newscasts I have heard. If they were black then this appears to be racially motivated and inspired by White House Resident Barack “Insane” Obama’s rhetoric.
Were any of the suspects Muslims? Nothing in any of the reports to date regarding that..
froggy57 says
Muslims, thugs, or cop haters. Same thing. Give cops a bonus when they bag one. It saves the tax payers 65 grand a year not to have to jail them. Of course the idiots will scream injustice. The 65 grand a year doesn’t bother them. They don’t pay taxes. They live off welfare.
Suzie says
Say you’re right.
James McFerrin says
I am so tired of the “catch phrase” rogue police officers. When police officers leave their homes and families every day, they have no idea what they are are going to face that day. They have to make split second life and death decisions. Unfortunately, sometimes those decisions end in someone losing their life. Most of the time, the one losing their life (regardless of their color) made a choice that forced a police officer to make one of those split second decisions.
PatriotForever says
Useless deaths and it’s horrible to know despite your color or profession that a person can feel Entitled to take another’s life on either end of the spectrum.
Suzie says
Patriot forever
Whatever happened to justice and the Bill of Rights, the Pledge of Allegiance to the country? Now it’s just kill whomever, playing God doesn’t justify the fact that the police murdered that man. Whatever they arrested him for, charged him with was not the issue that day… he had a little business and a human right to his life. He wasn’t a Jesus or disciple but “Cain ” the cop didn’t have to kill him. There was a cell phone camera caught the entire murder, the only reason his death come under question and the police have been well known to cover up murders. Take a look back in History, another murder covered up… What police force worked that case.. Two innocent people lost their lives over corruption, Kennedy and Oswald. Do we really trust police in Dallas? Just a ripple from the past. Race was the issue in that time and odd that this all kicked in after the UN and the Muslim leaders all decided our guns needed to go… Are the politicians afraid of the people? To the point they’d pull stunts for control.? Think everybody has saw them destroy America in action. Welfare and free ain’t nothing but more control over the people. After Mt.Saint Helen burped, American industry run over to China. Opening the borders, unrest among the people, Mexican drug cartels moving up, now Isis coming in. Is it a kill off, get people to kill each other, the fewer people, the more control… A national disaster with fault lines and volcanoes, if there were survivors, where would they go… There are the ideas that America would be split in half from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
What is really going on and what do they know we don’t.
Texasjayhawker says
I cannot understand how the police could shoot a man in a car, with occupants, when he stated he had a gun. The officer had his gun pointed at him. He could have waited to see if he was going for the gun. It makes sense to me.
In LA the man was on the ground subdued. Why did the officer have to shoot him. Where is the taser? It makes no sense.
Could these be “false flag” operations? Remember, a crisis has to manufactured. Then the death blow can be offered.
Inspector Tom says
These action could be the opening shots that Obama needs to declare ‘Martial Law’
Zinka says
Tragic tragedy!
Heartfelt condolences to police officer and family and friends.
From the beginning of Obama’s reign to date, many taken for themselves the right to be able to work for what they want but to kill police officer in their workplace, because he killed several criminals blacks.
Obama’s bill of rights urgently needs to change!!!
Texasjayhawker says
Black lives matter is financed by Mr. George Soros. A hater of Christians and America.
Zinka says
Very important!!!
Wow wow, wow

“Before dying, the police chief said, the dead suspect declared to officers that he was upset about recent shootings and wanted to kill whites, “especially white officers.”
Yeah sure – the dying suspect makes sure everyone knew his motive before he dies! The real perpetrators behind these shootings really believe we are all a bunch of imbeciles.
Doug Gentry says
Loretta Lynch is no friend to , police, when it comes to BLM , Just as Obama refuses to call radical Islam what it is. When I hear her condemn BLM rather than support them, I will be shocked. In fact BLM leaders phones were hacked and they plan to shut down both the RNC / DNC they claimed the pictures and threats were photo shopped but professionals say they look real, sense the leaders have not requested that they be taken down says a lot. One problem in my city most murders are black on black crimes. But the PC media or their handlers refuse to report the truth. I would think Chicago is likely the same. If the BLM terrorist are allowed to continue it is not going to end well, let’s see how they act at the RNC the police have knowledge of their plan to Get martial law implemented to keep Obama in office , which I suspect will begin a horrible outcome for them.

Obama has divided this country more and more each day. I knew he was going to bring up gun control subject again before he said it. Yesterday he shouldn’t have said “Black, Hispanic” blah blah blah inappropriate comments to incite anger and violence. What he should have done was to calm people down by saying something like “these shooting matters will be thoroughly investigated and rest assured that justice will be brought forward.” It is SO OBVIOUS (not even funny anymore) that he has hidden agenda to restrict law enforcement (like he has been doing to border control agents), disarm law abiding citizens, seeking opportunities to gather more Black and Hispanic votes to crown lying Hilliary into HW in order to continue more if his both hidden and obvious agenda (legacy my a**). Spit on his upcoming $1billion library.

If this is how people are going to react to law enforcement during a protest, then leave LE out of it..if it gets out if hand the protestors will have to handle it on their own

This tragedy makes you forget all about the crimes Hillary is involved in and getting away with.
Atleast that is what they are hoping for.
Not ALL Americans are stupid.
So sad that our world has come to this. And to think – 7 1/2 years ago the black man didn’t hate the whites like they do today. Wonder how that happened? (Sarc) So very very sad. Wake up America. The fox is in the hen house !!!!!!!!
Trump 2016!!!!!!!! Make America GREAT AGAIN!!!!!!

>> “President Barack Obama said America is “horrified” over the shootings”
You reap what you sow.
Unfortunately for the country it is we, the people have to deal with the consequences
of your irresponsible and inane words and actions. You, 0bama gave birth to the killers
in Black Lives Matter just as you created much of the problems that we are experiencing now
and very possibly our children will have to deal with in their lives.
Worst president ever and a disgusting human being.
Jean says
I do not believe police are “trigger happy”. Let’s back up and check the FACTS prior to any officer having to use a weapon, not just that final act. It appears that the transgressors had been involved in illegal activity or at least questionable activity prior but that information is usually not provided. In a closed car dealership beating out windows?? Stealing from a neighborhood store, roughing up the clerk and running from the law when ordered to STOP? Breaking into a private pool without proper permission or passes? Trespassing ! I raised my kids to obey if ever ordered to ‘raise your hands’ or ‘get out of the car’ and do so without question or suffer the consequences. If my big brown lab bit a neighbor, the hunt would be on for a big brown lab… Profiling??? I think not !!!

This is just Ferguson and Baltimore revisited. Are all these guys active in the local mosque? In my opinion rsce is used by musims as a mask to keep their real agenda “undocumented”.

The racist crisis is to keep the old dictators in, Trump taking over the paperwork has got them running scared.
Trump says the foreign countries are going to pay USA to fight their wars
Remember how the politicians said the war would go on to 2015and in 2012 allowed it would go on to 2017. They will put Hillary in, that’s a cut and dried plan. Well, wiki leaks got copies of signed agreement that USA would pay to fight for a designated time period. Do you think the leaders in the Islam countries are gonna let go of that money.. Like paying Iran to not attack… Pay for peace,,, Ronnie had that base covered in the 80s…

Our problem isn’t guns, it’s evil! We have allowed others to corrupt our society until we now have a president who promotes the elimination of religious freedom, pitting black again whites, rich against poor, immigrants against conservatives, etc. We are now taking away the religious freedoms of all Christians so that a handful of confused gay and transgender people can have more freedom than the rest of us. Military Chaplains can’t practice religion anymore, Muslims are embraced while friends are disgraced. Places like Chicago, California, Brussels, France have the strictest gun laws on earth, but it didn’t help them much. Criminals will always have what they need to kill and steal. Why do you think our country has been so blessed over these 240 years? Because we were founded on a belief in God and His laws. No folks we don’t have a gun problem, we have a God problem! Have you noticed, the more we kick God out of our lives, our schools, the more babies we kill, the worse things get. We even have more storms and natural disasters than at any time in US history. Unless God shows us more mercy than we deserve, things will get worse until we get God back in our lives and in our country.

I still remember the words of our president early in his rule…..”the Cambridge police acted stupidly”…….when you consider the circumstances of this incident, I have often wondered how often this statement has inspired crackpots like this one to want to kill police. Another thought….imagine our country without police. I can’t…….
Justin W says
It seems odd that none of the Black Lives Matter leaders were on TV condemning the Dallas carnage or expressing their condolences for the officers killed or injured. The same police officers they hate wound up dying to help protect BLM’s freedoms. The wounded and dead officers were heroes. The deafening silence from Black Lives Matter leaders says a lot about this movement and its mindset.
In time hopefully the world will know how many of these snipers were part of the BLM movement. Black lives should matter but the group seems to be more interested in chaos and troublemaking than in accomplishing anything positive for black Americans.

Minerva Moser says
If this crap keeps up, I can see where we’re going to have a spate of “unlawful assembly” countermeasures. People are supposed to secure permission to hold a rally or public gathering. Even though they often do, it’s too often turning into a riot situation -entirely without the knowledge or planning of the original gathering’s organizers.
It’s a sad commentary on our current state of social conduct. Personally, I think much of the blame can be laid on the government’s lack of honesty and fairness in dealing with its citizens.
Constitutionalist says
Minerva-
i want you to REALLY read and DEEPLY UNDERSTAND the following restriction upon the law-making and law-enforcing abilities of Federal government actors:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
This is the First Amendment. Here’s something else that SCOTUS has ruled regarding assembly:
“The right to defy an unconstitutional statute is basic in our scheme. Even when an ordinance requires a permit to make a speech, to deliver a sermon, to picket, to parade, or to assemble, it need not be honored when it’s invalid on its face.”
— Justice Potter Stewart(1915-1985), U. S. Supreme Court Justice
Source: Walker v. Birmingham, 1967
If you have a Right, you do NOT need a permit; if gov’t actors can require you to get a permit before peaceably assembling, then they have turned the Right into a Privilege, a privilege which can be DENIED.
MARILYN KROCHESKI says
After all, this is OBAMA’S WAR on police, that’s how it all started originally with the Missouri incident , if any people out there remember that yet…. OBAMA should have been impeached then when he stuck his nose into something he had no business being involved with. HE needs to let each state or town take care of their own busines, OBAMA obstructs real justice. Time to impeach this big imposter and take all his thugs down with him and paid thugs that they may send into the convention area so he can call illegal martial law on this country. Stop him now before any more killings take place…..
Bruce says
You’re so full of crap marilyn

Police are NOT trigger happy!! They don’t go to work with “shooting a thug” on their minds. They go to protect and serve.
I imagine that they can only take so much c$&@ from these thugs they deal with on a daily basis.
So they shoot one or two. Did they deserve it? Maybe- maybe not.
but,,,,, they are there to protect and serve. Not to take c$&@ and get killed.
If these thugs would STOP disobeying the LAWS, the cops wouldn’t even be arresting them.
stay out of trouble! Get a job. !! Grow up and stop being gangsta It’s not cool. Get an education and keep your nose clean. And let the cops do their jobs which is Protect and Serve. Not babysit.
Have RESPECT!!! If you don’t know what that means- Google it on your Obama phone when you’re looking up the word J O B !!!!
Stephen Russell says
Time to end these & I urge Probe into shootings:
Since TX Tower in 1966 to date.
Questions:
Are shooters ex military, PD SWAT, mercenaries, rogues?
Was JFK shooting a training mission
Note most have “mental issues”
Was this staged with BLM & Govt
Who benefits & why.
Whose the “pansy” for the shooting IE Lee Oswald.
Are shooters ex Mob types?
Who knew when BLM planned event, IE got permits for?
Problems:
Shooters have “mental issues”.
Shooters have “rap sheet” still get Gunsa
False Flag mission
Test for Martial Law
Race war seeds?
Always shooters have Full auto guns IE Govt supplied? IE plant to shoot
Or Conspiracy?
Research this since 1966 TX Tower shooting alone to date, see the Links, Connect the dots.
Arthur Hartsock says
This is slightly off topic, but this Army Soldier Johnson was returned home from Afghanistan because of a sexual harassment case. But the Army didn’t get rid of Mr. Bergdahl when he was obviously having major problems in his Army service. A quick discharge of Bo would have solved many problems. Just a thought.
Bruce says
Right on brother.
Black lives matter had nothing to do with it. If you’re not black you don’t know what it’s like to be discriminated against and harassed.
