Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
That's certainly a possibility, but it sounds like they've taken a few people alive. Any other involvement will come to light. Someone will confess, they'll look at computers and phone records, known associates, talk to family members, etc.

What is this video people keep talking about?
Even that is tempered down when it's live, Megan Kelly was acting ...or dialing back her usual "role" she plays in the network earlier tonight when the shooting started. All those people deep down have hearts, people forget that.
Tragedy always drops the charade and let's raw emotions out. This is horrible for everyone.

Yep what the fuck should they know right? those twenty year old smarties....or maybe they need to get another job or get themselves some help if they are in that deep. An have that many issues.'
No one should be on the force with that much weight.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Of course it could, but he said it was clearly terrorism.
Really? You're going with "False Flag?" Why would police shoot their own? Hell, why would BLM members shoot allies?
This is clearly a group that cares for no one and just wants chaos.
Have the Feds made any statements at all? So far just seen news from Dallas PD.
I'm so freaking angry that these fucks decided to pick a protest as cover to kill police officers so now they are gonna feel scared and be even more brazen with heir interactions with civilians, especially minorities. GODAMNIT.
It had to have been chosen in the hope for chaos and a desire to spark more fighting.
Attacking a peaceful protest is the lowest of the low.
Not that far in advance. Today's protests were mostly kicked off by last night's killing.
The police have to show up for security. But they don't have to support the protestors. The Dallas PD was supporting the protestors. They weren't just "doing the job." They were there as allies.
The police killings are the reason for the protests. The protests were likely just an opportunity for the Dallas snipers. They very likely have absolutely nothing to do with the protestors or the police.
No idea.
Unstoppable force vs immovable rock.
Protest against police killings in Dallas.
Dallas PD was out in support of protest.
Protest was 100% peaceful.
At end of protest snipers start killing police.
11 injured, 4 dead.
Four suspects, three in custody.
One additional man incorrectly identified as suspect. Proven innocent by video.
US Marshals on scene.
One suspect in shootout/standoff with police claimed that bombs were planted in the city.
Not a shooter. Just part of the protest. He is the incorrectly identified man I refer to above.

This man, once named a person of interest, was just released from police custody.
They finally released him

Thanks
Fox News is the best of all the networks during events like this.
Especially with Shepard Smith.

Yeah, these guys are obviously well trained and well equipped. This feels orchestrated and calculated. Wonder what the motive is. On a political level what do you gain by shooting a bunch of cops? Surely they know that this will only make things worse, so I wonder what they're trying to do here. Anybody have any educated guesses?
Not gonna lie, Smith lives for breaking news.
It's urban terrorism. Or should damn well be considered urban terrorism.
Shepard Smith live is the best thing on Fox News. Guy is pretty damn great as delivering news and always waits for facts before sharing information.
Link?

Hey everyone. This is an online feed from a local station. Probably better than the national feeds.

I also apologize for too many anecdotes from my end. Let me know if I can fill in any gaps in terms of Dallas queries.

Oh I get why its funny. Because reasonable cops that whistleblow are retaliated against.
I've heard and know this well, just barely watch live stuff so I'm surprised.
I like Shep, he's good people.

Not educated, but I would guess this is going to end up being some kind of anti-government motive.

Yeah, but until then, we've got other potential terrorists, unidentified, running around doing who knows what. Until everyone is interviewed and records are looked at, this situation has to be considered "active."
A lone wolf kinda situation, once the threat is contained, it's pretty much over. Here, the police will have to operate as if there is still a possible threat given the number of people who have co-coordinated, the level of planning, the tactical execution, etc. That means Dallas is going to be effectively on lockdown for protracted period of time.
Two thoughts in my had that don't mesh well together, but seem equally likely:
1) This was an attack planned well in advance and just waiting for an event that would draw out lots of cops.
2) The attackers wanted this to be pinned on BLM.
If 2 is true, then 1 can't be.
There's all sorts of possibilities. Could be white nationalist types hoping to start a race war by blaming it on BLM activists (had they managed to escape and not get caught), could be militia movement types who saw a moment to strike due to the recent uptick in anti-police sentiment, could be black nationalists who finally snapped, etc.
None of it's really rational but there are plenty of possible motivations, and whoever did it obviously had some sort of training.
I knew it was a matter of time before folks like yourself came out. Come bro, stoke those flames of hatred with your obvious agenda. It's certainly getting us all to some good places!
I've been releaved to see this too. I was a little apprehensive about the police presence at first but it quickly became obvious they were here to help us. Was very respectful on both sides.

Shep worked for the FOX affiliate down here WSVN7 in South Florida for quite awhile. Always liked him and he is definitely one of the only sane ones over at Fox News.

The Dallas PD has made huge strides to improve their relations with the community. Here's an article i saw posted on twitter describing their shift to deescalation training and how it severely cut down on excessive force complaints:

Who are the Hughes brothers?
I think on some level they might finally be getting that playing into marginalizing a group is only going to make this shit worsahahahahahaha
Wait until tomorrow bud.
So they show uncensored recordings of people getting shot and killed on TV news now? Bloody hell.

If that's the case it strikes me as obvious that a high profile stunt like this will only give the gvt. excuse to further militarize the police. On top of that, I feel like this is detrimental to an anti government cause anyways. Attacks like this draw sympathy for the police, not the other way around.
