Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BY BY TERRY WALLACE - ASSOCIATED PRESS
DALLAS (AP) — At least two snipers opened fire on police officers during protests in Dallas on Thursday night, killing four officers and injuring seven others, police said.
Dallas Police Chief David Brown told reporters the snipers fired "ambush style" upon the officers. He said police had a suspect cornered and were negotiating with him. Brown said 11 officers were shot, three of them fatally. Police later tweeted that a fourth officer had died.
The gunfire broke out around 8:45 p.m. Thursday while hundreds of people were gathered to protest fatal police shootings this week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suburban St. Paul, Minnesota.
The protesters had gathered after a Minnesota officer on Wednesday fatally shot Philando Castile while he was in a car with a woman and a child in a St. Paul suburb. The aftermath of the shooting was purportedly livestreamed in a widely shared Facebook video.
A day earlier, Alton Sterling was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers. That, too, was captured on a cellphone video.
Video footage from the scene showed that protesters were marching along a street in downtown, about half a mile from City Hall, when the shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott released a statement saying he has directed the Texas Department of Public Safety director to offer "whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs at this time."
"In times like this we must remember — and emphasize — the importance of uniting as Americans," Abbott said.
The search for the gunman stretched throughout downtown, an area of hotels, restaurants, businesses and some residential apartments. The scene was chaotic, with helicopters hovering overhead and officers with automatic rifles on the street corners.
"Everyone just started running," Devante Odom, 21, told The Dallas Morning News. "We lost touch with two of our friends just trying to get out of there."
Carlos Harris, who lives downtown told the newspaper that the shooters "were strategic. It was tap tap pause. Tap tap pause."
The gunshots in Dallas came amid protests nationwide over the recent police shootings.
In midtown Manhattan, protesters first gathered in Union Square Park where they chanted "The people united, never be divided!" and "What do we want? Justice. When do we want it? Now!"
A group of protesters then left the park and began marching up Fifth Avenue blocking traffic during the height of rush hour as police scrambled to keep up. Another group headed through Herald Square and Times Square where several arrests were reported.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
I am disgusted and saddened at what is coming. Couple weeks ago that *****, Jesse (whatever).
He's a privileged actor on Gray's Anatomy. Who went into a rant, in discust on "whiteness" and they would end it, whiteness! Mind you he looks white and is half white. His racist rant made me sick!
Move to today police kill 2 seemingly innocent black men. That were unarmed at the time, ON VIDEO! It made me again sick to my stomach.
I'm scared of the world my children are going to live in.
White is a bad word. Thrown around by the media in discust.
One of the police officers that killed the innocent black man in the car, on video was Asian but the media said he (the Asian) was infected by whiteness.
What...
Anyway I am white, I have 2 black stepsons and a black brother. (He was adopted but is truly the best man I have ever known.)
Anyway it keeps eating at me. Tearing me appart. I'm pissed off that it's okay to be racest against WHITE. I'm pissed off that POS Jesse at the BET Awards gave his racest rant against whiteness and cops and I'm pissed off these cops murdered these men giving any creditability to the black lives matter movement that undermines the FACT THAT ALL LIVES MATTER!
I'm sorry for my rant but where are we headed???

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
always 2 sides to every story and it seems that in most cases the video is started after the fact and never covers what led up to the incident. that's the starting point of all the bs trouble we have in these situations. now if you do what the popo tells you and he doesnt something wrong then just comply and sue the piss out of the city and the department. dont resist legal or not and you will be fine. now i dont dispute that their are bad cops out there because you would be stupid to think that but come on, this crap is way way out of hand. statistics dont match up to what all the politicans and movements say and plain and simple do what you are supposed to do and you will be completely fine and if you are doing so and you get illegally stopped and have your rights violated then you will make yourself some money. people are f'n stupid and it just continues to get worse and worse.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
This is so sad. Chicago was on lockdown last night and all officers on duty. You are right, officers cant even do their jobs anymore. they are even fearful to do it.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
Our nation is severely lacking strong leadership. Obama uses these incidents like Dallas, Ferguson, etc to further split the country. A strong leader brings the country together, but Obama ALWAYS does the opposite of that. Disgusting.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
I am seeing a lot of this racial separation everywhere and yes it is a bunch of bulls#it. Roots series and now some show "Black and White" ? can't we just forget what a bunch of ignorant a$$holes people where some 200 years ago and move on ? Black people, read your history books blacks where enslaving eachother and selling them to the Dutch ! Native Americans where slaughtering eachother before the "white man" ever set foot here ! It makes my blood boil at the stupidity of some people who refer to my family as ****'s just cause they are from Germany ! Well Charles Manson was right about one thing and that we as Americans will be racially separated in the future. May God Bless Us ALL !

Your so fukkin right. I'm sick and tired of "white" being a bad word. I have never owned slaves and you were never a slave. I have never been a racest. I have fought besides my brothers and bled besides them when racest remarks have been made.
BUT
To hear the words "white privilege" and "reparations" and the constant *****ing about white people. Speech from POS'S like Jesse Williams from the BET Awards saying "this thing called whiteness" Its pissin me off.
Hate makes hate is this what the author's of these words want? It's not the world I want my kids to grow up in.

I believe in Texas it the death penalty for murdering a police officer in the line of duty. They will get what's coming to them.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
i have already said it a thousands time mtnmedic about a number of issues. no one really gives two shits what color you are or anything else. if you act like a fool then you will be treated like a fool equally. as long as you are a citizen of this country you are an american and that's all that freaking matters. do a good job and excel at what you do and it dont matter if you are white brown black blue or f'n purple. stop feeling sorry for yourself and blamming others for you lack thereof. man/woman the fuck up and make shit happen for yourself and stop blamming everyone else

Yes, hollywood helps to promote black on white hate. I heard The new "Roots" series was totally designed to show white people in the most horrible way possible.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
After the shootings in La and Minn, Obama calls out racist cops.
After the Dallas cop shootings, Obama says lets wait for all the facts before jumping to conclussions.
Disgusting

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
Obama and Hillary both come from the saul alinsky school of politics which is all about creating division between the classes in America. Obama has gotten it down to a fine art. He is so good at dividing the country against itself, that people are blinded to it. He insults the nation, and nobody cares.
Wake up people. This man is destroying the country and last night in dallas is another sign of what he is doing to America.

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
the media is a lot to blame about the race that appears in the news.. its always blk this or blk that.. but when that white toddler got killed by a gator in fla it wasn't a white toddler killed by gator it was just a toddler.. example when that jack ass killed those people in that church it was 9 blacks killed in a church.. to me it doesn't matter what the skin color was of the pleople that jack ass kid killed it was what he did not what color the people were.. the dumb ass walked into a church and killed people..
the media is going to spin everything as white no matter what race they are if they aren't black they will be white even if they are Asian or latino ..
and like guns said there are jack ass cops out there.. but if you do what they say you wont have a problem.. I watched a video of a cop asking a guy for his id and the guy was just arguing with the cop instead just give him your id and move the fuck on...
simple ask yourself is this country better or worse in the last 8 years? also what city in this country has the highest murder rate along with the toughest guns laws in the country where Obama came from he did a great job there.. blacks kill more of themselves then any LE does.. fix your own culture and police your own neighborhoods..

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
let me ask you something does the words white pride mean I am rascist?
look at the tattoo on cain velasquez chest it says brown pride.. you change that word around and put any other color in it and its not racist but the one and only color white that's racist...
I don't judge a man by his skin color I judge him by his actions and character

Re: Four Officers Killed & 7 Others Injured
I don't even know where to start with your comment bossman. It is sad that all this concerned conversation about our nation and you goto "racest whites". Closed minded comments like that make it impossible to have a discussion.
