[Chaplain]

Dallas police saying there could be a bomb. On CNN right now.

 

[Ultratech]

Press Conference on now.

Chief Brown saying the suspects threatened to plant a bomb in the city.

Shit just gets crazier.

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is so terrible.

 

[Electric Eye]

Police chief says the suspects planned a bomb too wtf

 

[Mattenth]

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

That's not freedom and misses the point.

If you don't "follow orders," your odds of getting shot depend a lot on your race.

Has there been any information released on the shooters?

 

[Jumplion]

You can open carry in Dallas right? That has to cause confusion.

You are allowed to opencarry handguns currently, not rifles from my understanding.

You can open carry a long rifle. The only people in the state who actually do so are the crazy open carry people who try to bring their shit into Chipotle.

Thanks for the clarification

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

Race relations in this country can't get "worse". They already hate black folks, this just gives their hatred an excuse.

This is going to continue because people who have the ability to make change refuse to, and this is why that Toni Lahren tweet has me so hot.

um did he just say bomb?

[M.W.]

Police chief said a bomb may have been planted as well

 

[reKon]

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

Seems to be working pretty well for them.

[TheFatOne]

Police chief just said the suspects threatened with a bomb. So now there is a bomb threat. Fuck man that sounds crazy.

 

[GaimeGuy]

The snipers may have planted a bomb. Holy shit

 

[VexMythoclast]

Wow some BLM were taunting police officers, disgusting. This not a good look.

[dmr87]

Talk about a bomb plant from the DPD Chief.

Insane

 

[therealist]

who took that picture of the suspect though?

 

[royalan]

CNN has a picture of a POI up...

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

they didn't say bomb is planted, they said there was a threat of a bomb.

no confirmation, just a threat atm

BTW PoI is legit from what I can see

 

[LiK]

Possible bomb too wow

This is an asinine statement.

 

[Haloid1177]

This is why nothing ever gets fixed in this god forsaken country. RIP to the victims.

 

[ironcreed]

Police Chief:

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

Jesus, this is madness.

 

[EightBitNate]

Police Chief:

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

A fucking bomb? This story is getting really strange.

 

[Volimar]

Jesus

Now a bomb.

 

[MThanded]

What's with that suspect picture?

Odd

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Wait is it a suspect or person of interest? Chief saying POI.

 

[trembli0s]

[GoldenEye 007]

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

What the fuck type of question is that? That's perfectly reasonable. I was barely able to sleep last night. Tonight, with this in my backyard, I probably won't be sleeping tonight either.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Damn this seems terrible so far.

3 cops killed, at least 5 others seriously injured and now reports of a bomb?

Sounds like homegrown terrorism

 

[valkillmore]

I can't believe this, it's surreal like a nightmare

 

[Yawnier]

Holy fuck......

 

[victreeb3l]

Holy shittt

 

[The Llama]

Really hope the bomb is just an empty threat.

 

[VeryGooster]

I don't even have words anymore.

Like "Oh, it must be Thursday."

 

[rokkerkory]

Terrorism

Hmm no one has EVER explained why Chicago's gun laws dont stop gun violence in the city. Not once.

Certainly no one has pointed out Indiana is right next door. That would be silly.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

Wait is it a suspect or person of interest? Chief saying POI.

Person of Interest.

 

[Damaniel]

edit . beaten

At this point, the DPD is calling that person a 'person of interest' and not a suspect.

And holy shit at the bomb thing - it just keeps getting worse.

 

[echoshifting]

Police chief is clarifying that is a person of interest, not a suspect, important distinction.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

wait, dude was on street level with a semi-auto rifle?

He was in the fucking crowd, the date is from today.

wtf

not an official suspect, but a PoI

 

[chadskin]

1 civilian wounded, per Dallas police on CNN.

 

[theepicoftyler]

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

The counties* around Chicago don't have such stringent laws.

I live 30 mins from the city and could own a gun very quickly and easily.

 

[dallow_bg]

1 civilian shot as well per Dallas mayor.

 

[marrec]

Wait is it a suspect or person of interest? Chief saying POI.

POI based on eyewitness reports. Not confirmed shooter.

 

[M.W.]

wtf

Open carry.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This is an asinine statement.

Okay, would you like to discuss it, or did you just want to stick with the one liner?

 

[Already Torn]

wait, dude was on street level with a semi-auto rifle?

He was in the fucking crowd, the date is from today.

wtf

It's Dallas, I guess nobody thought it was strange.

 

[LionPride]

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

Now you know this isn't true

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

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

Calm down friend. Didn't mean any offense with that post.

 

[Spoiled Milk]

wtf

Don't you know? Second amendment rights. Open carry state.
