Sadly this kind of stuff will always happen as long any idiot in america can own a freaking gun.

But it will never change what is just crazy.

Bombs......guns......one is more plentiful than the other but there's still going to be violence. How are you going to confiscate all the guns in this country?

Let's hope no more officers are declared deceased.

 

[Measley]

Ok, guy who sent in the video on CNN can shut the fuck up with his personal commentary. Blaming the shooting on the entire protesting community.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Lonestar]

so would this be considered a terrorist attack?

what looks like a targeted hit, not in the middle of traffic stop gone wrong, could be.

So many varying reports, do they have ANYONE in custody or not?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Is there a direct link to the video being shown on CNN?

Civilians or police?

 

[LiK]

jesus christ.. fox news just shown the footage of the cop getting shot by the shooter.

seriously? ugh

 

[L4DANathan]

Alright, this is digusting, can mods start carpet banning people who post the tweets?

 

[mreddie]

I really don't get these comments. Do people even realize that Texas is one of the last states to allow open carry? Here is a map showing what states allowed open carry in 2014, before Texas finally allowed it recently. So the "Oh right...Texas" mentality really doesn't make sense other than reinforcing a stereotype.

I thought otherwise and I apologize. I do know AZ has a open carry law and people were displaying their guns back in 2012 when the RNC was here.

"I'm all for equality but this wasn't the way to do it!" 🙄🙄🙄

The responsible thing to do would have been to politely cut in and remind the witness that they do not know the killer's motives and that it is irresponsible to speculate. But, CNN.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

I think we just saw someone die.. what the fuck end this please.

That's what insaw also they haven't showed it since then.

 

[HariKari]

Isn't that the point of watching the footage? To see what happened?


He turned himself in and is safe.

jesus christ.. fox news just shown the footage of the cop getting shot by the shooter.

They showed the cop getting killed point blank.

 

[The Beard]

Why doesn't this news station just say outright "it does not appear that mark hughes could have done this based on what we've been told and what we've seen."

Fox News just did 5 minutes ago.

 

[LJ11]

Fox4 news has a better video.

:/

Thats not good.

 

[therealist]

Hopefully there are cameras or CCTV all around downtown.

 

[Brakke]

Wow I hope he got out safely, this vid needs to spread like wildfire, that image is all over. :

He did get out safely, he turned himself in to police.

Probably best he stay in a station for a while, anyway. So much misinformation about him out in the world.

 

[MHWilliams]

Jesus, all of the officers lost tonight is just goddamn horrible.

Damn. Copycat?

 

[Dicktatorship]

I can't really see what's going on the CNN video. Guy is filming in portrait mode ffs

 

[User1608]

Yeah. This is very scary.

Last thing we need is some crazy feedback loop. You fight fire with water, not more fire.

Agreed. Violence is never the answer.

Depends who you ask.

yes

just generally asking peoples opinions, as a muslim I feel if this person was muslim or they had a hint of it it would be plastered over the media already

 

[hokahey]

Confirmed on Fox. Both in custody.

Don Lemon: I don't want to say what hotel you're in

Meanwhile, CNN's caption already identified his very location.

It literally says "HIDING IN....."

 

[killer rin]

This video shows the gun battle, its unbelivable https://www.facebook.com/michaelbautista86/videos/vb.100003576517454/899698650159344/?type=2&theater

RAW video

Holy fuck that is insane. So many lives lost.

 

[matthieuC]

Fox News saying both suspects in custody

 

[Downhome]

All suspects in custody, both alive. Fox News.

 

[U2NUMB]

He turned himself in and is safe.

I mean end this madness... not the footage... but I am in shock and I hope that cop is ok.. this is flat out insane.

Edit: Thank god the fucks are in custody.

 

[SteveO409]

Foxnews reporting that both suspects are in custody

 

[Kastrioti]

According to Shepard Smith and FoxNews both suspects have been caught alive. ?

When will this end

 

[sangreal]

CNN is something else. They're telling the guy who filmed the video not to name the hotel he is staying in while listing it out in their banner

 

[marrec]

This is most likely domestic terrorism, as most mass shootings in America are.

Fuck Don Lemon and CNN, they've been handling this terribly.

The fallout of this is going to be a mess.

 

[Pryce]

Just watched an officer get killed.

I'm going to bed.

 

[cirrhosis]

i hope dpd has a team actually able to sift through the mountain of shitty social media tips they're about to get

 

[Digital-Hero]

https://twitter.com/DallasPD/status/751278430679801856

Do we trust this source? They just plastered an innocent who gave his weapon to a cop as a suspect.

 

[rjinaz]

As someone who lives in Dallas:

1. Open carrying is not common. In fact, I've never actually seen someone doing it in the wild.
2. Everyone knows the law well enough to know that if you do see someone open carrying, it's weird, but not illegal.

I hear you. I live on Phoenix, and neither have I. But this was a protest so I wouldn't be surprised to see open carry.

Apparently the poster I was referring to doesn't since he wants the cops called on them.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Holy shit they caught them alive?

 

[rokkerkory]

Cnn why are u so shitty

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The shooter didn't get back in his car did he? At least they'll have something to work with to find the piece of shit.

 

[SlimySnake]

wtf is up with these news channels showing people getting blown up and shot to death recently? have we fucking lost our minds?

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Dude, what the heck!! What is going on!

 

[GameAddict411]

I just finished The Witcher 3 latest DLC and going to GAF to write about it, then I read this shit. The movement for a reform is basically killed. These murderers are enforcing the stereotypes around black people that they are a bunch of thugs. You can be outraged, and sad about what happened to the guy who was killed a couple of days ago(and many before him), but doing all this damage goes against what they were protesting against.

It's just a tragic night and I hope that the people who are hurt recover.

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

Honestly, it was only a matter of time.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Holy shit they caught them alive?

I believe there's two suspects in custody.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Edit

 

[Brinbe]

Instead of going to the cops first, he's all up on CNN with this footage?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

I'm disgusted with that local news channel

They didn't even have the fucking decency to look at the video before they aired it

Absolutely unjustifiable.

 

[Volimar]

just generally asking peoples opinions, as a muslim I feel if this person was muslim or they had a hint of it it would be plastered over the media already

Oh definitely.
