Well like I said. I don't know who's responsible for these shootings, but I'm honestly shocked it hasn't happened sooner.

I've always said eventually if nothing changes something like this is bound to happen. Because you have people that are at the brink, that don't give a fuck and want chaos at this point.

I mean look at our politicians, look at how the media handles these things. Tensions are high on both sides.

Yup and it just keeps building and building. It's time for people to stand up and push for real reforms. I was for reasonable gun rights but now I truly don't know. I really don't. We need to do something though. I think I really need to re-evaluate my position on gun rights.

Bloody hell, i'm meant to be travelling to the US - Austin next Saturday for a week with my job...passing through Dallas on a stopover for a connecting flight.

Is the US actually dangerous now?? This sort of shit scares the crap out of me.

It's understandable to be scared, but you have a bigger chance of being killed in a car crash going to the airport than you do being shot.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Knew there would be repercussions on that extravagant Harrison Barnes contract.

[Boke1879]

If you follow the orders the police give you, you will not be shot.

Lets not act like this is true 100% of the time.

 

[BattleMonkey]

I don't buy the sniper theory, I mean, they must had been AAA tier snipers, like, CIA tier to target and shoot cops only at great heights.

Not really, anyone can buy and use a scope without any formal training. Just because ten are shot, doesn't mean their was a degree or precision either, from the videos it sounded like tons of semi auto fire raining down. These could be amateur shooters for all we know. We also don't know any details of height or distances the shots were made from .

It's really not looking like a theory based on reports. Semi-auto weapons + Scopes + Ambush = mass casualties before anyone can react.

 

[valkillmore]

So 4 officers dead?
3 Dallas pd and 1 dart officer?

Where did you get the number 4. CNN and the police chief saying 3. Source your info bro

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Has all the makings of a False Flag

This is irresponsible.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Per CBS:

-2 Dallas PD officers dead
-1 DART officer dead
-2 Shooters are still out there, one in negotiations with the police

No, you'll be fine.

 

[Gattsu25]

The next person to post someone's picture as the shooter who isn't 100% certain is going on vacation.

It's not a race.

Thanks. This reddit/4chan witchhunt bullshit doesn't help anyone.

 

[ironcreed]

Shit has hit the fan. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. Never been more scared for my country.

It's probably going to get a whole lot worse before it ever gets better as well. A sad state of affairs.

 

[AuthenticM]

It's never happening. Not on the level it needs to

It will once Congress, the Senate and the Supreme Court are controlled by Democrats.

 

[FartOfWar]

yes the police are shooting their own brothers from office buildings.... no my friend, I just think it's weird for police to be live blogging a protest. And was it supposed to be in support? Ok cool, I guess, still weird.

Donald Trump?

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

NBC is about to post a picture of a Person of Interest

 

[echoshifting]

CBS is also still saying 3 dead, not 4.

 

[Chris R]

Well 11 shot now

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This was a setup.
Holy shit.

someone certainly took advantage of the situation. that's for damn sure.

edit: another officer shot.

 

[antonz]

Where did you get the number 4. CNN and the police chief saying 3. Source your info bro

Was said on TV. 3 Dallas PD killed and 1 Dart Officer killed.

 

[water_wendi]

Snipers rifles or not.

To pick off cops like that? From an elevated position? That quickly?

Whoever these guys were, they were prepared, and they knew how to shoot.

Firing down on a line of cops in a surprise attack with semi-automatic rifles doesnt sound very hard to me. Thats basically a shooting gallery.

I see, makes sense when you put it like that. Still, that there was some kind of preparation and synch is terrifying.

 

[Strike]

I fear that the issue of police brutality is going to be pushed to the wayside because of this. Fuck. What a mess. My heart goes out to the families of the dead and wounded.

 

[Emerson]

Has all the makings of a False Flag

All the makings of a fucking moron.

 

[Barzul]

This is why the second amendment needs to be changed. When guns are so readily available, this can and will happen. People are angry and emotional and they have guns.

The US is very big, we have over 300 million people. Not trying to downplay this, but Austin is a great town and has a low crime rate for its population. You gotta keep living life, even in the face of tragedies like this

 

[Already Torn]

Just when you thought race relations in this country couldn't get any more fucked up. It's gonna be disgusting to watch Trump try and capitalize off of this tomorrow.

I'm surprised he hasn't tweeted already, he's probably trying to think of how he can use this to prove that he was right all along.

You'll be fine

Lets not act like this is true 100% of the time.

This was literally proved to be untrue less than 24 hours ago.

 

[Jigolo]

what's a dart?

 

[thenight11]

yup

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

If you follow the orders the police give you, you will not be shot.

Don't start this. Please Don't.

what's a dart?

Dallas Area Rapid Transit

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This is a stupid question, but NBC/CBS is only online atm because of all the late night shows on, right?

 

[GK86]

Wow, just catching wind of this. That video posted in the first page is crazy.

 

[DrForester]

This is horrific. And despite knowing it was two snipers from elevated positions, people are still going to blame this on BLM.

 

[Electric Eye]

The shooting hasn't stopped another officer shot hurd on MSNBC per the chief of police

 

[EightBitNate]

This isn't the answer :/

 

[Gattsu25]

MSNBC reporting that shooting has resumed. An 11th cop has been shot.

This is a stupid question, but NBC/CBS is only online atm because of all the late night shows on, right?

Yes.

It's stupid. No one cares about pre-recorded late night shows.

 

[JasonS]

Has all the makings of a False Flag

That's exactly what I thinking.

Same.

This is what I'm assuming until all the facts are out.

 

[BajiBoxer]

Huh, they interviewed a few of the protesters that were there, and one had said someone spit on them from up in the building (parking garage?) right before the shots started.

11 injured, 3 dead, some injured in an exchange of gunfire with one of the suspects. Releasing a picture of a "person of interest" soon.

 

[PopeReal]

Fuck.

 

[Killer Queen]

Jesus please don't do this. This is not the way.

Seriously. Fighting fire with fire in the worst possible way.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Terrible, what is happening to this country? RIP to the three officers dead.

 

[jacob armitage]

CBSnews just showed the same fellow from the 4chan/reddit post.

 

[JohnTinker]

Officer at the hospital


Edit: DALLAS PD JUST RELEASED A FRONT PHOTO OF SUSPECT, SAME MAN IN REDDIT/4CHAN PHOTO

 

[M.W.]

You can open carry in Dallas right? That has to cause confusion.

 

[MIMIC]

Wait, is this guy on CNN describing the shooter?

 

[soxxx]

Lets not act like this is true 100% of the time.

It is true, police are not trained to shoot someone that is complying with their orders. 1000s of people are arrested everyday, not shot, because they complied with the direct orders given to them by the police.

 

[LosDaddie]

This was at a BLM protest?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This isn't the answer :/

these aren't protesters.
