EDIT.

 

[EightBitNate]

these aren't protesters.

I'm aware.

 

[the_sun_king]

what's a dart?

Dallas Area Rapid Transit

 

[cruets]

so much for open carry making everyone safer

 

[shanafan]

Bloody hell, i'm meant to be travelling to the US - Austin next Saturday for a week with my job...passing through Dallas on a stopover for a connecting flight.

Is the US actually dangerous now?? This sort of shit scares the crap out of me.

You have a higher chance to get into a car accident than be a victim of a shooting. Live your life as you normally would.

 

[Buddha Beam]

Yes, you're linking to a page that has unconfirmed pictures of a person claiming he's the shooter. Let's not do that.

Police are now confirming that picture is legit, it seems. Just showed the same guy from the front on the live stream.

 

[DrSlek]

It's probably going to get a whole lot worse before it ever gets better as well. A sad state of affairs.

I can very much imagine more police shootings as Officers become more fearful for their lives while on the job, and subsequently the public will become more terrified of police officers and there will probably be more violent outbursts like this. An incredibly dangerous cycle.

 

[Hip Hop]

So that 4chan/reddit post was right it looks like

 

[Chris R]

That is the person from the other picture, might as well show both now.

 

[Plinko]

This is only going to make race relations worse in this country

 

[Iorv3th]

Saying 11 shot now.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

He's still at large too. Fuck. He was one of the protesters from what it looks like.

 

[spazchicken]

We need gun control and we need it now. This shit has to stop.

Chicago has probably the most strict gun control in the US.

Seems to be working pretty well for them.

shootings have surged more than 88% in the first three months of 2016 compared with the same period last year, according to data released Friday by the Chicago Police Department.

[A Human Becoming]

I think NBC5 said a suspect is in custody.

 

[toadsworth]

This sounds like it was planned.

I really hope they didn't plan any more shootings.

I can't take this shit anymore.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Just awful, all around. This whole week. RIP.

 

[Skatterd]

Dallas PD twitter is legit right? They tweeted a suspect pic.

 

[ironcreed]

MSNBC reporting that shooting has resumed. An 11th cop has been shot.


Yes.

It's stupid. No one cares about pre-recorded late night shows.

My god.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

It's naive what people think you can get your hands on with the black market. That's why we need gun regulations for this type of thing.

 

[Volimar]

This was at a BLM protest?

Not strictly BLM, but a protest about the recent officer involved shootings.

 

[bob page]

Another just shot by an active shooter

 

[MIMIC]

Dallas police department's twitter feed has released a pic a person of interest

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Wait, is this guy on CNN describing the shooter?

Yes. The picture is up now.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

police chief on MSNBC

 

[Shmuppers]

Rest in peace to the victims

such a senseless, stupid thing to do

 

[dallow_bg]

Dallas police chief confirmed they have cornered one suspect in a parking garage and are negotiating with him.

 

[undecided]

No not at all. This is a terrible situation but it is targeted attack in response to other specific situations.

I probably wouldn't suggest going to any protests even prior to this, but there is no reason to be scared for being in the US (or Texas, I live and work in Austin)

Also fox news just showed a suspect photo from the police

 

[Gattsu25]

Press conference is live

 

[Deleted member 20415]

Dallas PD twitter is legit right? They tweeted a suspect pic.

Yeah, and news is showing image now... Fuck!

God damn this is surreal

 

[Brinbe]

Fucking morons. Way to overshadow everything that happened the past few days.

smfh

 

[Jigolo]

Don't start this. Please Don't.



Dallas Area Rapid Transit

thanks

 

[cirrhosis]

if that dude is innocent, really hope he gets to police safely. I hope people don't turn on each other.

 

[dave is ok]

This guy will be named within the hour

 

[akira28]

shooter is claiming responsibility?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Confirmed suspect:

hopefully we get a fast ID on this guy.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Can we get the Conspiracy Theory shit out of here.

There is no false-flag here, no set up, no conspiracy.

This is an armed psycho (Two?) attacking people at what was to be a peaceful protest.

It's doesn't matter when the city next door doesn't have those laws

 

[Marion Cobretti]

MSNBC reporting that an 11th Officer has been shot.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Suspect means nothing yet. The police supposedly has cornered at least one. Doesn't mean the photo of the suspect is one of the shooters, just that, a suspect, and unlikely to be the shooter since he was in the crowd.

 

[DTU]

Shit has hit the fan. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. Never been more scared for my country.

Really? You're not going to be able to sleep?

 

[Dai101]

If you follow the orders the police give you, you will not be shot. If you're white

There buddy, i think you missed some important bit.

 

[The Llama]

Guy CNN was just interviewing may have been the source of the Reddit photo, jeez. Weird world.

That's like having the least amount of Ebola in a quarantine zone.

Great, when you're willing to bet your account on it, feel free to post it.

The states around Illinois don't have such stringent laws, so it's not much of a hindrance.

You know damn well the areas surrounding Chicago don't have these strict gun laws in place, allowing guns to flow into the city. Why even post this shit?

 

[royalan]

Police Chief:

--Potential bomb planted
--1 suspect cornered
--More than 2 shooters suspected

 

[Gattsu25]

Suspects have made a bomb threat.

Fucking hell, what the shit is going on?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Bomb threat now.
