Support NeoGAF

[MThanded]

Damn dude is still in the garage.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Press conference going on now. They're still negotiating with a suspect.

 

[GhostBed]

Don't assume they were necessarily working for the cause of BLM, even in their own minds. This seems like it's designed to push a volatile situation over the edge to me.

of course they weren't working with BLM, but they purposely did it during a march because....?????? to turn public perception against BLM or wtf??!! what does this accomplish. I am anxious to hear their reasoning.

 

[Already Torn]

UK GAFfer here. What the hell has happened, Is there a summary?

Two snipers fired after the protest event, at least four officers killed. Two suspects in custody, one after a shootout.

 

[MIMIC]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

 

[A Human Becoming]

Suspect in negotiations says there are bombs in parking garage and around town. Scary shit.

 

[sphagnum]

Honestly if it's two crazy white boys from 'Murica, it's not going to explode.

I hate to say it but I have this nagging thought in the back of my head that maybe they are white because they're not dead.

 

[Aarglefarg]

Chief not doing a good job of calming people...

 

[victreeb3l]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Fuck FUCK FUCKKKKK

 

[MThanded]

Suspect said bombs are all over the place.

 

[User1608]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Please no.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

WTF. Yup they're saying still negotiating with another. They've said the end is coming. Said they're going to kill more. They aren't saying they've for sure caught all the suspects.

 

[echoshifting]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Jesus fucking christ

What a nightmare this is

 

[ironcreed]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Holy shit.

 

[Already Torn]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Sounds like bullshit.

 

[royalan]

Police Chief:

--Still don't believe they have all suspects.
--Shooter captured in interrogation. "The end is near. We're going to kill more of you. Bombs all over Dallas..."


...fucking great...

 

[Jonboy]

The heck was going on in front of the gas station on the CBS footage? People dancing and taunting the officers?!

 

[chaobreaker]

Listening to the police's press conference right now.

Suspect claims to have bombs everywhere.

 

[Ponn]

They usually do pretty good live news coverage surprisingly. It's just when they switch to opinion that it becomes shit.

That's whats getting me, they just had a good 20 minutes between a couple experts showing the Obama speech and talking about the events leading to today and how more leaders need to step up and hold these police shootings accountable and work with the black community. I was absolutely floored by what I was hearing from them.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Sounds like bullshit.

Or it could not be bullshit.

 

[Zoe]

4 suspects, maybe more. Two from the car chase, one female coming from near the garage, and one in negotiations in the garage.

Garage suspect claiming there are bombs all over downtown :\

 

[Dr.Acula]

http://www.cbsnews.com/live/

Suspect says "the end is coming" and that there are "bombs all over downtown."

Stay safe Dallas-GAF.

 

[bman94]

Those suspect quotes man...what the fuck

 

[Briarios]

This is getting more insane ... normally, I would say that the bombs thing is a fantasy -- but this guy was way too competent in hurting and killing, I'm afraid he may have actually planted something.

 

[therealist]

Damn it, I would not put it past them that there actually are bombs littered through downtown Dallas. These guys look like professionals and have planned this thing.

 

[LiK]

so not all suspects captured. fuck Fox News and that other place that said so.

 

[eyeball_kid]

After the military training this guy has shown, I'm not at all surprised they're taking the bomb threats very seriously.

 

[l2ounD]

Police Chief:

--Still don't believe they have all suspects.
--Shooter captured in interrogation. "The end is near. We're going to kill more of you. Bombs all over Dallas..."


...fucking great...

thats actually scary

 

[Inuhanyou]

As usual, a few criminals completely delegitimize a very meaningful protest with even more violence. Jesus christ i fucking hate life so much.

 

[flyover]

Thanks to those of you summarizing for those of us who can't watch video right now.

 

[MogCakes]

Shit was allowed to get to this point because fuck all has been done to alleviate the issues of gun control, and police executions.

Let's wait for the suspects' identities to be revealed before we start jumping to conclusions about why this happened.

 

[Measley]

The end is coming? Whoa....

 

[GhostBed]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

please god no...

 

[Already Torn]

Or it could not be bullshit.

Yeah, and I hope the officers treat it seriously. But that's bullshit.

 

[Chiggs]

2016 has been insane, it's reminding me of 1968 so much.

Not that I was alive during that time, but your assessment is pretty good. I'm very concerned about the conventions.

 

[ironcreed]

I am starting to worry about shit going down in other cities now. Seems more and more like an orchestrated terror attack.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Yes

So more guns means more gun deaths? Madness!

 

[echoshifting]

This is getting more insane ... normally, I would say that the bombs thing is a fantasy -- but this guy was way to competent in hurting and killing, I'm afraid he may have actually planted something.

Yeah. I was about to say that bomb thing has to be bullshit but after that video I'm really not so sure.

 

[Heshinsi]

I hate to say it but I have this nagging thought in the back of my head that maybe they are white because they're not dead.

If these guys actually had a plan to get out, using the BLM protest as cover is smart from a despicable point of view. Regardless of what background and ethnic group they are, if they escaped we all know who gets the brunt of the blame.

 

[Lonestar]

Does anyone even know how many people were involved? 2? 1? More than 2?

 

[MIMIC]

If they still don't have all of the suspects, what was all of that stuff about the threat to the public being over????

 

[Gnome Scat]

Per police chief

Suspect: "The end is coming. Will hurt and kill more officers. Bombs all over the place."

Ok fuck please no.

 

[Pastry]

How was something like this put together so quickly. They couldn't have known about the protest for more than a day. They must have had all of this ready waiting for the perfect moment, seriously fucking scary.

 

[sphagnum]

Well if the bombs thing turns out to be true then there goes the theory about the shooters wanting to only target cops. Incoming ISIS speculation but it's probably a bluff.

 

[SaviourMK2]

This is absolute madness.

 

[davepoobond]

apparently they are still in a standoff with one guy, according to the chief at this press conference.

2 of them were trying to get away in a benz and they got them. but a 3rd is being negotiated with

 

[UberTag]

Chief not doing a good job of calming people...

Yeah, this seems more like it will escalate chaos and pandemonium.

 

[mreddie]

There were four?

 

[MetatronM]

of course they weren't working with BLM, but they purposely did it during a march because....?????? to turn public perception against BLM or wtf??!! what does this accomplish. I am anxious to hear their reasoning.

Because there would be a large number of police congregated in a contained area? Because it would stoke flames of unrest? Because they wanted to use a large and confusing assembly of people to be able to hide in plain sight?

There are lots of possible reasons why. Those are just a few. Impossible to speculate without more knowledge of who these people are.

Those quotes do not instill confidence that this is just some white guys.
