I find CNN's coverage gets even worse with their after hours anchors.
The cover certainly is trashy as fuck, but that term "Civil War" may not be far from the truth if things continue.
Read what Ryan Posted, its the mentality. ASking police to be accountable = anti-police or opposition. Part of the problem, but this is about to get terribad.

RIP to the officers, why did the protest have to end like this?
Thanks for the brilliant insight.

Probably the most intense footage I've seen from the event yet, civilian footage from inside a parking garage. You can very briefly see what I think is the shooter running away in the distance to the left around the 0:12 mark, but the rest is just tension from the people stuck in the middle of it.
I feel so drained.

Who would be the two sides? And how would they fight each other exactly? Get real.

I mean it did, especially with the Philando Castile video, but this is very much the "shit just got real" moment for me. As much as it sucks to say, I've gotten used to not expecting much to change after seeing more black men shot by cops. This though, this is something else.

Not buying it, for example in the US IIRC the crime rate's all-time low was in the mid-2000's and it's higher now.
Globally, now we havs ISIS, Syria, the refugee crisis, this situation, and more.
The world economy has never recovered from the late 2007-2009 global financial crisis. Good jobs are harder to come by, which is partially a negative effect of globalization.
China is trying to bully its neighbours, and then there's Russia behaving like they are ready to make it one minute to midnight on the Doomsday Clock.
I think some of you guys are blowing this out of proportion.
It would take a lot, and I mean a lot, before the country descends into literal civil war.
I'm talking simultaneous LA Riots that are across the entire nation, and they'd each have to be bigger than what that was.
No..RIP

Please explain how this was an anti-police protest.
He sounds like he's 'trying' to be impartial and just saying what he heard (went on to saw that all the protesters were peaceful and waved at him)
But that moth shit is kinda creeping me out.
CNN is pathetic.
They have shit-tier ratings for a reason. The average age of their viewers is like 70 years old.

It's fear mongering based on ass pulls.

We ain't in no Civil War here.
Was listening to loud music in my apartment, exercising. I was a mile north of the attacks, on the 11th floor of a building looking north, so I cannot see what is going on.
UK police aren't routinely armed, but almost every other police force in Europe carry firearms (excluding some local police like the municipal police in France)
None of what you said actually refutes what he said.
agreed on both points.

Which may be these attackers underlying point in all of this. Other then their fatalistic ideologies and willingness to kill for whatever reason. Though at the end of the day, what did they accomplish? other then that human beings can kill others regardless of their uniform.

Seriously. This is a tragic event, but people need to quit it with the hyperbole, some of these posts are reading like total nonsense.

Like I said, they are going to do their due diligence to check everything at this point. I am sure there is an entire procedure to this that is gonna suck for him.
They should definitely take down the tweet at this point, but wasn't he a suspect because people reported him (and the fact he was carrying an AR-15) to the police? It's an unfortunate situation that I hope gets rectified, but he was technically a suspect at that point right?
And yes, I understand that he had given his gun up to the cops but I think it is a bit much to expect every single officer and social media manager to know stuff like that in the middle of that chaos with shooters still at large.
How did that go down? Is there an archived video?
I mean sometimes they are going to make pointed questions, because that is the best way to get a clear and concise answer to clear someone's name. Police questioning is always like that in my opinion, even for something as simple as reporting your own damn wallet lost. It is annoying and frustrating of course, but that's their job.
Just to be clear, I think they fucked up putting his photo out that quickly but in the heat of the moment I don't think it is fair to call it disgusting or try to pin ulterior motives to the department. They were basically stuck in a chaotic warzone with active shooters on the loose. If someone comes up and tells them they have video of someone shooting, they are going to look into it and take it seriously.

If you don't think bad things are bad, then sure.
In the real world, the fact that we have smartphones and PS4's now doesn't change the fact that we're worse off than we were 10 years ago in the West.

Yeah,
Their source says DPD has the "outcome they wanted" following a flashbang deployment

CBS saying police told them they have the "outcome that they wanted" with the standoff shooter. The flashbang from earlier was probably a SWAT team moving in.

What "harsh truth". This wasn't an anti-police protest, the police helped the protesters plan and guard the event for fucks sake. That's not even to mention how insanely irresponsible it is to call this the start of a "Civil War". we don't even know who did this.
depths20XX

So does NYP even know what the term "civil war" means? Or is getting views more important to them than inciting hate?
So the Dallas PD officers participating were protesting themselves?
Nah they didn't with 5 officers dead but this is as best as they could past that I'm guessing. Horrible horrible night.
RIP to those we've lost in duty. This never solves anything.
Disgusting and irresponsible "journalism".
Painting a black vs. white, or black vs. police picture when we know absolutely nothing about the group that committed this tragedy, or their motivations. Terrible.

You don't seem to understand.
This is a common tactic, the police say they have absolute proof that they did X, then they dwindle it down, change a few details and get them to admit to the crime but manipulated the details to get false confessions.
It's a common tactic, that's what they were trying to do to him.
Its a Murdoch paper so yes, views are more important than just about anything.
