Cowards, they ambushed cops and shot them in the back.

No way this was just a group of two. No way, IMO.

Time to change your pad, Joan. I know you are feeling bloated, but your bitchiness is making you lose that tiny shred of sanity that you use to successfully navigate such a cruel and malicious country.

Good now we will know exactly why they did it.

My scientific wild ass guess is that this was retribution against the police for the shootings/deaths of the past year or two.

Likely, but could also see any idiot taking advantage of the cops focusing on the protesters

Probably not ISIS then.

Probably not ISIS. Looks like they really didn't have a plan to escape.

Or they wanted to be captured alive.

I guess getting bitchy should be expected after three people turned a sincere, respectful, nonpartisan statement I made in wake of a tragedy into a shitshow.

This country has gone too far down the political correctness path, allowing people to claim victimization for events when none exists. Ferguson was justified police action. The University of Missou rebellion was led by a multimillionaire's son, Tuwana Brawley and Sharpton. Freddie Gray was the vehicle for Marilyn Mosley to move up, riots and businesses destroyed. Police acted within their limits - another false flag. The Treyvon Martin case is the one that has the most validity for outrage...........but that is not what these idiots are using to fuel their protests. We need to crack down on these protesters, quit worrying about hurting feelings, and have an honest conversation about crime, imprisonment, and economic mobility in this country. The statistics are staggeringly brutal, and I am tired of dancing around the conversation.

You know why we dance around the situation? Because people will tailor their own conclusions.

We know all the statistics, but I bet both sides have different reasons why and I bet both sides don't want to hear anything the other side has to say.

The "honest conversation" is only satisfactory if it's had in an echo chamber.

I agree with every bit of that..

except the protestors part

The protestors Fox interviewed were for the most part just regular young people. Dallas cops were even taking pictures and laughing with some of them. One was talking about the police protecting them and moving them out of danger.

The rest of your perp list though...I can't argue with.

So the cop who did what he did is actually not to blame but what Obama said is more of the cause? Come on man. Actions are more powerful than words. Dont blame the person for saying what they say and excuse the person for doing what he did. Thats just silly.

I never said anything about the current shootings, and even admitted I don't know enough about these situations to comment...so I did not. But you quickly jump to this event as the "justification" for the police shootings tonight. The action to which I refer is tonight's police officer ambush and the underlying reasons for that. I'll type slower and use smaller words if it makes it easier for your little moronic mind to better understand.

We live in such a hyper-partisan environment that what you're saying is going to fall on deaf ears.

I agree with what you said.

Thanks.

I'm afraid its too late also. Look at the way I was attacked for simply calling for cooler heads.

Too many simply do not want to calm tensions down, they want to take their rage out on the "other side".

They want revenge and they want blood, and they want it now.

Violence is not the answer. And we don't know if this was even connected to BLM or not at this point. Probably was, but we don't know at this point.

Either way, attacking DART cops seems to point towards something not particularly planned out. We'll figure out more tomorrow.

No blaze of glory. These guys were hoping to escape. Moved from the shooting area with a plan. Perps knew the area. No way this area wasn't cased just by their movements.
Btw, IMO, the perps may have had absolutely nothing at all to do with the protest.
Just planned.

Just an awful situation and you have to feel for the victims and their families. Just plain wrong.
I tend to agree. These guys are most likely long gone. i also question if this was involved with the protest. Seems counter productive, then again, it's hard to imagine being in the head of someone who would go out and shoot cops just for being there doing their job.

Edit:glad they caught them and hope they get the justice deserved

Haven't a lot of the cop shootings been in the back AND on the ground?

When he got flanked he immediately counter-attacked with brutal efficiency.

He didn't look like just your average hood.

Looked like Call of Duty or Counter Strike to me.

They looked like thugs on a mission to me.

That would be the most likely conclusion but at the same time, this seems to be pretty coordinated. I mean for two people to come up with a plan to shoot 11 cops in less than a day sounds like it would take some serious planning.
