    this is not the thread for this convo

    i think it was a correct observation. sure it's early but is sure seems to be retaliation for the previous events. you're taking it wrong like everyone else. not gonna waste my time remedially explaining to you what an observation is.

    They apparently have a suspect cornered in a parking garage and are trying to talk them out ... according to a reporter, anyway

    MLK's message taken out of context.

    Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love... Our aim must never be to defeat or humiliate the white man, but to win his friendship and understanding.

    Listen, you might think this is cruel and sad, but the facts are that every other week police officers are shooting and killing innocent black people, and getting off Scott free.

    I don't view this situation any different that the civil war, Boston Tea Party. I don't think you all realize that this isn't some yahoos deciding to kill police, these people view themselves in the midst of a War, and they are willing to die for it.

    Maybe I wouldn't be as alarmed if it's a handgun strapped to his belt while being at a country music festival

    But brandishing a rifle at a BLM protest?

    Particularly given open carry laws, how do we know the guy pictured is indeed a shooter. Could be just a guy legally out with his rifle.

    In any case, there is no justification for killing these police officers in Dallas. I hope they catch the suspect(s) soon.

    Goes to show how dumb open carry is. The suspected shooter openly and legally walked the streets with his murder weapon in plain sight.

    that was my observation as well. folks who perform these act almost always think their involved in something bigger than them.
