    Doesn't seem like the crowd is who's at danger or in need of protection at the moment.

    Two officers dead, several others possibly shot. They mentioned a DART police officer also was killed. I don't know if he was one of the 2 or a 3rd. They just arrested a guy wearing what looks like body armor but not sure if he did the shooting. People are yelling at cops while arresting him. Idiots. Man, this is only about 4 or 5 blocks from where I work. We sometimes go eat at the Bank of America building nearby where this was happening.

    Who do the people call when they need protection from the police? Who do the police call when they need protection from the people?

    gonna sound strange to some but i grew up in a rough neighborhood and we never called police. we called neighbors, and the neighborhood in general took care of the neighborhood. i was always told growing up to never call police and anytime police came in my neighborhood it was usually bad. i'm not judging everyone just telling you my situation growing up.

    Too much crime, too many guns, too many ****ed up people in this country, especially law officers although I feel sad for the family I no longer care any more about either the cops or blm.

    I don't think random, haphazard protests/gatherings/rallies are helpful, particularly in a country where military-style weapons are so accessible.
