You're also ignoring the fact that black men murder cops FAR more than cops murder black men. 

No surpising, as the Dallas snippet was a black supremacist who said he wanted to kill white people. 

Hmmm, I wonder if BLM had any influence over him..... Duh!!!

42 Popos died from gunfire in 2015.

Now.... maybe I'm wrong. I could be, who knows. But even if 100% of them were killed by blacks, EVEN IF! It still wouldn't correlate with your statement.

So where are you getting your info from?

Hi I haven't read this thread thoroughly but I know pretty much most of GGD are racist, "AllLivesMatter", bigots so just thought I'd clarify if you believe that one man is a suspect (the one police pulled aside, took a picture with, and the media was quick to blame the movement for the shooting) he isn't. He was being peaceful with officers, there's footage of it.

I can't stand when people are all like "our country is going to hell" "what is going on?" This **** has been happening for centuries now. It's time someone lays down the law. The shooting in Dallas would've never happened if we addressed racism and brutality. I'm not surprised by this boiling point. Things need to be address instead of people hoping for a better tomorrow. Look at LVPD as an example.

The police department apparently still haven't taken down his pic either. Once again, judgmental/irrational decision making with zero training.

Statistical averages from the FBI from the mid 90s to late 2010s shows more cops are killed by the African American community than the other way around

This is tragic, and my condolences to the family and friends of the officers who died, but I hate that this is already being used as a narrative peace to silence the recent outrage on all the Black people dying.

Don't get me wrong, as hard as it is I don't blame all police. But, they need to be more accountable with their peers. They need to be more accountable with their actions, as a collective department. Same can be said with general media.

How that man was so quick to be labeled a suspect, and they've yet to pull that from media? How large-scale media is not doing enough to separate the peaceful protest from the shooter?

They're creating desensitization to the deaths of Black people, and creating hyper-sensitization to the deaths of police. It's scary.

"All lives matter" is a beautiful ideal, I think everyone would agree. But, c'mon, we all know that the reality is that certain groups' lives are less respected than others and that's an issue that must be addressed...when ppl say "black lives matter" they're not saying that white, asian, latin lives don't, they're saying "hey, black lives matter too", so don't just dismiss them (us)...

However, this "us against them" mentality that I see being propagated as "being political" is not the way to go...it's only going to generate more resentment and hatred, that will eventually explode in acts of violence like the one we've seen in Dallas. Make no mistake: yesterday's events are just as tragic as black ppl being cowardly murdered by the police

If peace is truly the goal, it's only achievable by helping ppl to see themselves in each other, by making people understand that black, gay, female, whatever, are just superficial differences clouding the fact that we're actually all the same! We're all trying to satisfy our physical needs, we're all trying to feel loved, to feel important in our communities, we all want what's best for our countries, for our families, for the world, we all have people who love us and depend on us...there's just so much making us all the very same thing: human.

Black ppl lives (and all the other rights we're all entitled to) being respect is a victory not for black ppl, but for society as a whole. And the same goes for all the other marginalized groups.

Peace will only be achieved when whoever holds a weapon looks to the other end of it and sees an equal, bc as long as they see "the opposing team", there will be violence.

Yeah except cops are killed FAR more than they kill civilians.

Where is your humanity for them and their families?

Dude I was stating a fact. Facts are emotionless. This WILL continue to happen regardless of how we feel about it IF nothing is done about the bigger picture.

Yes! Cops are killed a lot by criminals. That's not the same as being killed by the so called "good guy."

Just a few questions.

What was the protest? Black lives matter protest?

Did some black people get angry about the recent events, so they shot them? 

[arthurhmangum 4,408]

They aren't helping the situation. No one is.

The shooter (only 1 confirmed so far, not sure if anyone else was involved) was a man named Micah Johnson and he claimed to have no affiliation with any groups, he just wanted to kill white officers.

This was a BLM protest against police brutality that the cops were willingly and peacefully participating in and defending. There are pics all over twitter of the cops sitting alongside the protesters and what not. I'd bring em up, but I'm lazy atm  

There are already tons of conservative "news" sites reporting that this is "the true face of BLM" right in the face of a mostly successful peaceful protest happening simultaneously, which is a kii to me. BLM has 0 responsibility in the decisions of one violent man.

Because he was the only person that peaceful protestors saw that was carrying around an assault rifle. Of course he was the first one to be suspected by the protestors and then by law enforcement.

I've been watching large scale media last night and today and just the opposite of what you stated is true. Those that represent the peaceful protest groups last night, the police representatives and people from the government have all emphasized working together and that the march last night was peaceful and an effort that was supported by the law enforcement in that area. I've heard this several times every hour on major news sources, both from people invited to the shows and from the anchors and panels on these news outlets.

What are you watching? Fox News?
