Well in fairness the cops do have guns and obviously things would likely be even worse for them if they didn't tonight.
Cops having guns =/= gen pop though.
So apparently there's a potential bomb? Is this true?

It's the 1970's again
Shit.
Don't worry to much. Things are in flux. Local coverage, the livestream link I posted above, has the best coverage right now.

Kind of shocked he hasn't tweeted about it being BLMs fault yet.

He deleted the tweet, but not before I was able to copy it.
I know this will shock no one, but seriously, fuck Joe Walsh:

Hah hah, he realized he made a huge mistake. Stupid racist fool. That's the last I speak of him.

In America, you can arm yourself and go to war with police. Let that sink in.
He updated stats and reposted. Doubt he feels shame about it.

Trump will say that he's a unifier and blame Obama
We really need to do something about it. If we retake the House and Senate this needs to be priority one.
Oy. What the fuck did I miss while flying across the country? Time to go back on airplane mode.
Just hope for the WH at this point. Everything is on fire right now. Trump inspires added fear and hatred of anyone who isn't white.

Joe Walsh would very much like everyone's attention tonight. I'd implore you not to give it to him.
Honestly, can we not do this tonight?

I hope the police can piece this together quickly before the bullshit brigade wakes up in the morning. I know it's not procedure, but if it looks like the protestors had nothing to do with the situation, they need to make it public ASAP.
I'm not... I said to not even worry about house and senate races and just hope the fear and hatred captain of the US right now doesn't get the ultimate reward for leaning into these tragedies. That's it.
The shooter who killed the cop (I presume) point blank knew exactly what he was doing. He is definitely NOT your everyday protester.
Agreed 100%

Nothing to do with protestors, this was an ambush, pre-planned and apparently they had exit plans considering where some of the shooters ended up.

It won't matter what Dallas PD says.
It will be blamed on BLM unless well if the suspects are white. See Drudge.

It looks that way, likely at least 4 people involved according to the press conference.
I just don't want tensions inflamed over false information or speculation.
They are attempting to ascertain motives, I hope they can work fast.
Getting that info out earlier prevents much of the speculation.

I was having this long discussion with my Chinese girlfriend about how I don't like Federalism due to voters having limited information in local races and then she brought up how, in China, you only get to vote for local representatives who then vote for the more important representatives who then vote for more important representatives.
It would be like if you got to vote for state house reps who were the only people who got to vote for state senators were the only people that got to vote for national house reps who were the only people who got to vote for national senators who were the only people who got to vote for the President. This is like the worst system I've heard of. The only time the people's will comes into play is in the lowest information races.

...that post contradicts itself
Blames Obama saying he would blame it on guns
Says if the shooters didn't have high powered rifles lives could have been saved
It's too early to make assumptions, but then again, this is twitter.
I think it was trying to satirize what it thinks Obama would say.
Edit: No, seriously. They're just too dumb for quotations marks.
Told you they'd blame Obama. This shit is getting sickening. No wonder 'Bams wants to run as far away from Washington as possible when his term is over.

That's such a contradictory message. "Don't let these people have high powered rifles!" OK, we'll ban high powered rifles. "Wait, we still want high powered rifles!" OK, we'll put restrictions in place to ensure they don't end up in the hands of the wrong people... "NO, gun restrictions are ALWAYS WRONG, HE'S TRYING TO STEAL OUR GUNS!" OK, how do you propose we stop high powered rifles from ending up in the hands of our enemies? "..."
The lack of any logic whatsoever on display makes me absolutely sick. Frankly, a poll test doesn't seem like such a bad idea, as long as everyone is given equal access. Anyone that thinks that Donald Trump is an acceptable choice for President shouldn't be allowed to vote. There's no gray area there. If you believe Donald Trump is who needs to be in charge of running government, you shouldn't have a voice in the political process; you are too ignorant to properly assess factual information to make an informed decision. I can understand voting for a ton of different people I don't personally like; Gingrich, Cruz, Ryan, even Bachmann (OK, not actually Bachmann). But Trump? There is not a single redeeming factor that someone could point out and say, see, I deserve to vote. No you don't. There's a reason the entire GOP has abandoned him. And while saying "everyone has an equal say in the process" is nice, frankly it's absurd; people who study this stuff on a daily basis should have more say in the process than someone who doesn't actually know what the Constitution is. Give everyone access to material so they can learn, test them on it, and weight their vote based on how much they actually know. If our voting process says that Trump is the voice of half the country, our voting process is wrong and needs to be adjusted.
The answer is racial profiling, of course.
