Dallas Protest, Shots Fired

[miguel]

Minnesota State Patrol is readying their tactical response vehicle:

Opening salvo will be "Highway to Hell."

Yeah, but the protestors, being good Minnesotan socialists will counter with a chorus of Garrison Keillor's Bebob-a-Rebop Rhubarb Pie!

I wonder if any PD up there has an LRAD.....

It takes a special kind of stupid to stand in WARSAW POLAND! and call for disarmering a people.

Assuming he bothered to learn history.

Here's another view....

He walks around the store with the gun, which admittedly looks real, but there doesn't seem to be any panic on the part of any of the other customers in the store. Officers said they told him to drop the weapon, but I'm not convinced he heard them or was even aware of their presence.

Is this due to race? Who knows, but people have been seen with long guns in stores before, and made it out alive. One instance doesn't make it racial, but when you have several events with iffy circumstances, it does make one wonder.

I think the police went in with an adrenaline rush.
If I remember, wasn't this the result of a SWATTING? Someone called it in. Even hammed it up, acted like the guy was going to shoot on the 911 call.
They should have observed better. But they went in expecting a man ready to shoot a gun, and saw him with the toy, their brain filled in the rest.
The person made the 911 call should be charged.

When Patton received his ton of **** for slapping the soldier, that might be the exact moment our country started heading the wrong direction.

Because shell shock and PTSD aren't real? I'm kinda wondering where you're going with this.

BLM protesters just threw a huge firework mortar shell into a group of the riot cops.

Good way to get shot.

Another customer, Ronald Ritchie, called 911. According to Ritchie at the time, Crawford was pointing the gun at people and at children walking by, and messing with the gun

They say "peaceful protest" like it's some sort of talisman.

 

[Tombs]

They were all tough stuff until they fired a round of tear gas and pepper sprayed a few who rushed them.

Half the crowd yelling "**** THE POLICE" immediately ran with their tail between their legs. Now an idiot complaining about asthma is saying tear gas will kill her yet she won't go home.

These people are depressingly pathetic.

It's a peaceful protest. ["in the middle of a ****ing three lane highway at ****ing midnight", Ed.]

Funny how it's a "peaceful protest" when they're the ones throwing explosives at police officers.

Did anyone hear the angry lady yelling about getting, and I quote her, "more black people" to the front? EPIC!!!

Dammit, I am going to have to run my video out to the large TV to keep track of all this ****! LOL

 

[Tombs]

The police got the protesters out of the road with very little arrests besides those who begged the police to arrest them.

Heaviest extent of force was pepper spraying a few who charged them, and throwing some distraction grenades.

 

[Spear Dane]

Just learned the shooter used an SKS. A$$ hole. Now THEY will add it to the target list for banning.

What are you talking about? They're all on the list. It's just a matter of them banning them one at a time.

Dallas Shooting Eyewitness Says Exactly What America Needs To Hear After This Week | Tribunist

 

[oldpink]

A major reason that the civil rights organizations of the 1950s-1960s prevailed was because most of the leaders guided their followers to remain peacefully protesting, while (this is key here) demonstrating that they were indeed respectable people.
Huge numbers of other Americans who were initially ambivalent saw respectable people asking for common decency instead being treated abysmally in return.
No person with a conscience could possibly stand for that.
The ambivalent inexorably became supporters of the aggrieved, and soon even good numbers of those who were even against these respectable people likewise came around, leaving only the least conscientious and racist -- but I repeat myself -- still against equal treatment for all​ before the law.

No way... They're just peaceful protesters exercising their first amendment rights.

This is a major difference between then and now. Of course there are BLM members/supporters that no doubt feel and act this way, but sadly the most vocal are behaving in a manner that makes them look like the very thing that they're complaining about (being treated as criminals). Protesting being treated like criminals by committing criminal acts just doesn't make sense. It does nothing to change the perception that many people have, and in fact only exacerbates the negative perception.

He's more aware of it than just about anyone else...and gleeful.

You really want to suggest this? Really?

Im surprised Kut and Que bother sticking around here sometimes.

Lol, it's old hat. We've heard stuff like this before, and I'm sure will hear it again.
