This is both saddening and sickening. Four officers have died so far.
Situation is complicated by the fact that Texas is an open carry state so you cannot tell the good guys from the bad guys.

Chickens coming home to roost.

I'm having a tough time giving a fuck about this.

Watching CNN, apparently one suspect is in custody after a shoot out with Dallas SWAT.

This is going to radicalize the black community here the same way drone strikes have radicalized the population of the Middle East or the same way that Israeli atrocities have radicalized Palestine. Dallas is only the beginning.

Do all the dead cops need to be white to satisfy your bloodlust?

This country has gone completely insane. I'd also point out that this tragedy was well planned. Whoever did this had some sort of training. Military, perhaps? I don't know. But this wasn't some rash temper-tantrum or disorganized shooting rampage.

Perhaps you could view it as American citizens fighting what they believe to be an oppressive government, exercising their 2nd Amendment rights? Does that make you feel any better about it? Or would that only be the case if it was a bunch of fat good ol' boys waiving a flag and blasting "Motor City Madhouse"?

Just curious.

Two suspects and one person of interest in custody. How about we wait until more information to come out before jumping to conclusions? Just a thought.

I take comfort in my belief that even most poor disadvantaged inner city folks don't suffer from the level of stereotyping delusional views of the world that you exhibit, Dave.
I'll place my bets on Islamic extremists once again. They've been trying to marry up with the protestors since Ferguson. Now they offer a little gift.
Just speculation of course, we shall see what shakes out.
