Two Police Shot in Dallas

[Big Jim P]

NBC compiled a handy list, which also considered 9/11 an "attack on law enforcement".

So in my mind of petty quibbles, this should be the deadliest attack on US law enforcement since the Oklahoma bombing, which is arguably more important since that makes it the "deadliest attack in 21 years".
This is either continued victimisation over 9/11 that America still hasn't gotten over, or media organisations are trying, possibly unconsciously, to link black extremists to the extremist ideologies responsible for 9/11.

*Sigh* My country does have almost a fetish for 9/11.

We also remember Pearl Harbor. People tend to remember when they are attacked.

Apparently they were organized, so I guess we can rule out the "mad shooter" scenario...Hope they're not affiliated with a Black Power group, though. It would make things worse.

[Big Jim P]

Oh nice! Lets hear him LIE like he did to every other Afro-American!

Care to elaborate?

He's lied to everyone. He's a politician so it is part of his job description.

9/11 was the deadliest attack on America, and indeed American civilians, since Pearl Harbour.
It was the darkest and deadliest day, and incident, for US law enforcement, probably ever.

It was not, however, "an attack on law enforcement".

True, but it seemed there was something specific in mind..

And it seems the black K.K.K just shed servant of the State's blood for the first time. Sad. Really sad.

To be honest, given the sizes of the populations in question I don't really think it's that surprising that a few of them are stupid enough to try stuff like this and think it would further their cause.

It was an attack on all of us, law enforcement included.

Sad, this is what the rhetoric of blm gets us,. Violence. Keep yelling "fuck the police, andkill the cops", the group gets more mainstream support, and people act on those words. Even if it was not done by blm, well done blm and their supporters.

Now let's see how jumpy cops get.

My thoughts and prayers go to the victims and their families.

... BLM had been taking photos with cops. It's not confirmed who the attackers even were.

Bolded is rather my point. Law enforcement members were "attacked" in the sense that they died during an attack. They were not targeted as law enforcement, they were where the attack was carried out and died admirably doing their job.

Of course, had the nearby precincts to World Trade Centre Plaza been struck by synchronised suicide bombers to delay response, there would be no question that there was an "attack on law enforcement".

Protestors: "YO! GUNMAN! PROTESTING = YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG"

True. It was not a specific attack on law enforcement.

Not the point. It's the rhetoric I am bitching about.

I do believe blm is a terrorist group, but am not blaming them for the shooting. No evidence as to who did it has been released. I am blaming them for creating an environment that encourages violence, saying this was inevitable.

God bless the ones that are SANE and actually took photos with cops instead of beating them.

Accelerated or contributed, maybe, but it wasn't rhetoric on either side that created that environment.

The protest was incredibly orderly and peaceful, actually.

How else should I call an American Racial supremacist group who endorses the killing (of cops and not civilians I will concede) and actually just witnessed one during one of it's rallies?

UPDATE: A woman has been taken into custody along with two men.

The Dallas chapter of BLM does not endorse violence or retribution against police.

Yes, Black Lives Matter endorses the killing of police officers. OK.

Wasn't BLM in New York specifically Manhattan I think that was shouting kill all cops?

Neither do the K.K.K. Officially.

the "official" twitter account for DC endorsed shooting of cops.
