This guy says he's the brother of the above suspect, claiming he's not the shooter, so shooter might still be at large.

If there's actually bombs, seems like this was planned for a while. Would be nuts if it turned out to be ISIS sympathizers, but you'd think they would target civilians too.

7/8/2016 12:34:33 AM

so insanely irresponsible to label that guy as a person of interest and circulate that picture AFTER the guy handed his weapon to an officer during the middle of it

white america notices this

This has been a cluster fuck from the get go... more than usual.

I understand chaos is inevitable in the beginning, but the information coming out from DPD is a mess. The chief at the press conference causally mentioned there might be a bomb. I immediately thought of Airplane II with Sonny Bono with the briefcase bomb.

7/8/2016 12:46:22 AM

Dallas PD actually called him a suspect and have yet to delete their tweet

a former congressman turned radio host threatened the life of the President on Twitter

fuck you, 2016

Video of a guy there who was leaving the rally when the shooting started.

Video of 1 suspect being arrested, they didn't shoot him. Looks like a black guy in camo pants.

Shameful

7/8/2016 6:59:16 AM

How is it possible for some people to believe that the coverage of this and the Minnesota shooting are coordinated attempts to keep everyone's mind off of Hillary? Saw that on my FB feed this morning.

7/8/2016 7:00:59 AM

obama blaming guns already

so disgusting to use dead cops to try to move a political football

7/8/2016 7:01:47 AM

^i get what you're saying and i understand how one could be put off by "politicizing" such incidents, and i'm not really saying you're wrong...but if you can't bring up gun control immediately following mass shootings, when can/should you?

guess it all depends on how we define "mass shooting" but http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2015/oct/08/debbie-wasserman-schultz/how-many-americans-have-been-killed-mass-shootings/ from that link

Quote :

"The federal government’s more restrictive definition means it tends to count fewer incidents than Mass Shooting Tracker. Using 2013, the most recent year for which federal data is available, the Congressional Research Service found 25 mass shooting incidents -- far less than the 363 counted by Mass Shooting Tracker."

on the low end there's a couple each month...on the high end they occur nearly every single day of the year. so when's the best time to address it?

i guess at the same time we address the institutional racism in law enforcement.

7/8/2016 7:32:05 AM

Wonder when Dallas PD will take down the tweet about the guy legally open carrying being a suspect? I know they have a lot going on and this is a horrendous event but that guy is going to have a rough go of it with his face being thrown around everywhere as a suspect.

7/8/2016 8:09:06 AM

We have to make this about gun control because the establishment is not allowed to acknowledge that there are legitimate grievances that lead to shit like this

7/8/2016 8:11:05 AM

most importantly, what race is the shooter?

7/8/2016 8:18:37 AM

^^ ironically it is the ultimate in SJW/PC behavior that leads to not examining the status quo and why there is such a huge racial chasm in this country.

7/8/2016 8:20:33 AM

CNN saying the suspect who was killed was killed by a bomb that the police detonated.... wait what?

7/8/2016 8:54:29 AM

press conference:

sounds like one confirmed shooter, dead via remotely detonated explosive delivered by some type of robot (pretty sure i heard that right) after hours of negotiations. no other confirmed shooters yet but they're pursuing leads etc. Wouldn't speak to people in custody or anything about the investigation. shooter expressed anger over recent police shootings, wanted to kill white people, especially white officers.

7/8/2016 8:55:26 AM

Yep, apparently the guy in the standoff was killed by a ba-bomb

7/8/2016 8:56:27 AM

"BREAKING: Police say Dallas suspect that got into shootout with police said he wanted to kill white people"

That is rough, awful and ridiculous. The racial chasm in this country needs to be addressed. On both sides it's getting worse, not better.

[Edited on July 8, 2016 at 9:00 AM. Reason : but not different from Charleston shooter]

7/8/2016 8:57:29 AM

if only the victims in the latest mass shootings had been armed, this could have been prevented.

right?

cops get massacred but the NRA wet dream is having fucking kindergarten teachers packing heat

7/8/2016 8:59:57 AM

Really? The cops are bombing suspects with robots now? I mean seems like if they are gonna use robots why not just have it taze the guy or even just shoot him instead of detonating a fucking bomb...

7/8/2016 9:00:30 AM

Wait a minute.

So no one is concerned here that we took out a citizen with what is essentially a grenade?

WTF?

I get that this guy was extremely dangerous. But we are detonating bombs on citizens?

[Edited on July 8, 2016 at 9:02 AM. Reason : Where is John McCLane when you need him. ]

7/8/2016 9:01:14 AM

they're sending bomb robots after people now? what the shit

7/8/2016 9:02:38 AM

negotiations were taking too long, you aren't allowed to make cops wait

7/8/2016 9:02:45 AM

What in the fucking fuck

7/8/2016 9:03:04 AM

7/8/2016 9:08:28 AM

Seriously, why do they even have the equipment available to do that?

7/8/2016 9:08:47 AM

I mean, the Philadelphia police bombed the shit out of a house full of people years ago.
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/14/us/police-drop-bomb-on-radicals-home-in-philadelphia.html?pagewanted=all


The police essentially fire bombed Chris Dorner too. Burned his ass alive.


This ain't nothing new. If a policeman is killed, the most ruthless and organized gang in this country will come after you with Bearcats and bombs, yo.

7/8/2016 9:09:44 AM

Who needs ISIS when you have x police force in your hometown.

7/8/2016 9:11:30 AM

Lettuce draw comparisons between what's happening here, and what happened in Libya and Syria to start off their civil wars

7/8/2016 9:13:17 AM

So.. if a robot can deliver a bomb to detonate can it not also deliver a sleeping agent? Why would you have a bomb at the ready and not something like that?

7/8/2016 9:15:15 AM

For one thing, because I don't think "knockout gas" is a real thing.

Do we know that the intention was to blow the guy up? It's possible they were trying to breach the wall, which is a common enough tactic. In fact, didn't they do so to take down the Orlando shooter?

7/8/2016 9:21:36 AM

Ok, the robot grenade thing.

This was an active standoff. This wasnt some BS random civilian hiding. He was obviously armed. Its the same thing as Swat getting on the roof and taking him out.

Its just a new quicker way to get out of a standoff without risking more police.

7/8/2016 9:24:39 AM

OK so apparently they did say the goal was to blow him up. I'm still fine with it. Like BEU said, it's not like this was your run-of-the-mill crackpot in a standoff. He'd already killed people and expressed his desire to kill more and he had the equipment to do it. Fuck him. Fuck him on two levels. One, the basic "he's a murderer" level. Two, the level on which his crime is exactly the reason that police are over-armed and hypersensitive.

7/8/2016 9:28:33 AM

sounds like bastion got play of the game again

7/8/2016 9:29:51 AM

The DPD hit that mug with a robot BOMB.

7/8/2016 9:32:30 AM

are the open carry groups and NRA protesting over that guy who had his face plastered all over the news and was detained for exercising his right to open carry?

[Edited on July 8, 2016 at 9:33 AM. Reason : .]

no they did not protest over the guy who was legally concealed carrying being murdered for a traffic violation either
