I know there is footage of a firefight between a policeman and one of the shooters but I can't make out his appearance.

We need retribution against the uncivilized apes.

Problematic wording is problematic.


I can see how calling them apes might but objectionable, but thugs? Really?

Hey, every black person everywhere is responsible for the actions of any black people anywhere!

Meanwhile, we must of course strenuously avoid tarring police departments with a broad brush, simply for killing people...

CBS news produced a photo of a suspect, but it's not confirmed if he's the actual shooter.

If it's the one from earlier, no, he wasn't.

People who try to cheat the legal system when they get stopped or questioned by police. The guys who always ask if they're being detained and saying the cop is committing a crime by talking to them.


Sounds like loons.

Reminds of that girl from that video that went viral months ago who tried to use the voided articles of confederation to get out of driving with a suspended license.

BLM people were the ones on the ground caught in the crossfire, and being saved by the police. The snipers were the ones committing terrorism, and conflating them with a protest that they fired upon is obviously ridiculous.

People who believe that the government has no right to dictate to them what they can and can't do. The extremists among them have been known to assassinate cops.
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Bit too early to be speculating.

But if you are a telepathic mindreader and you can already determine this was BLM-created terrorism by the chapter in Dallas because you've been obviously too occupied reading their minds to come and discuss the case with us, you can go ahead and call the Dallas Police Department instead of wasting your time here playing amateur investigator.

I always found this kind of statement bizarre, since it suggests that you expect BLM does have roving death squads in its employ, of a level of capability that can be "expected" somehow.

Except the Amish don't use advanced tech. SCs have in the past killed police, so there is precedent, bad comparision.

What would calling the police do? BLM is a highly decentralized movement. But that doesn't change that it's ideas are most likely responsible for this and that the terrorists are supporters of this movement. I'll stand corrected if this proves otherwise, but I wouldn't count on it.
