What was the rally/protest about?
The recent shootings?
Yes. The protests are happening all over America and, I would imagine, in other countries tonight.

But GAF told me being a police officer isn't dangerousTerrifying. The police presence looked to be apart from the protests so the police were almost certainly the intended targets.

What the fuck at that Facebook video
How about please don't be dead, officer? I get what you're doing, it's bordering on a joke, but Do you really think it matters whether the shooter in this case is white or black? It doesn't.
Yes my friend . Violence bred violence . It is the rule of nature , lets hope the police understand tht the minorities would not stay put down taking all this racisme without ''talking back''.
As if this wasn't already sad and frustrating enough, the moment there's a display of unity it gets destroyed with more violence.
Dallas PD was being really chill about the whole thing. Tweeting about the event etc.

As a black guy living in Dallas, I'd rather there not be more reason for the police to assume I am a threat.What the fuck at that Facebook video

It was on some racist denial bingo bullshitWhat the hell are you talking about? Who said that?
Don't start that shit. The job can be dangerous, but it still doesn't justify killing unarmed civilians.But GAF told me being a police officer isn't dangerous
But GAF told me being a police officer isn't dangerous
And that all police officers are either heartless minority killers or cowards

This video shows the gun battle, its unbelivable https://www.facebook.com/michaelbautista86/videos/vb.100003576517454/899698650159344/?type=2&theater
RAW video
It does unfortunately. There's been a dialog happening over the last two days because of these recent shootings, and having a black suspect will cause the media to circle back to the narrative that blacks are dangerous and will attack officers. This is not a joke. It's happened time and time again.
Yes, my heart goes out to the officers and I hope they'll be OK, but if the suspect is black, then we'll lose any sense of dialog we've started over these last two days. I know that makes it seem cynical, but that's what happens.

Apparently my friends are in a safe area now but the shooters are near where they parked their cars. I was supposed to be there
Oh manAccording to the scanner, police in a heavy gun battle inside a building with the suspect.

They're saying "black male" on the scanner. Fucking hell.

Don't condone this, but I'm also not shocked something like this is or could happen.
At some point if nothing is done I've always said there will be retaliation of some sort.
Unfortunately politicians will use this to further their own sick agendas rather than take a step back and ask how we got here and what can we do to fix this massive issue.
i like how the absolute best case scenario is that its ISIS.

Someone either doesn't live in America, or is completely oblivious. In either case they should probably not post in response to things they do not understand.
Uh glad to see you are optimistic but with Fox News and Media...In the past I may agree w you but not now. Not in 2016. It's different now dude. Even if the suspects are black I firmly believe that efforts to reform policing in minority communities will surge forward. That's not to say there won't be more incidents. There surely will. But the times are changing before our eyes.
Well no shit but that's not what I was saying. In cases like the baton rogue shooting, yes obviously the officer wasn't in any danger and I'm not defending that execution or the one in MN.This is fucked.
Don't start that shit. The job can be dangerous, but it still doesn't justify killing unarmed civilians.
Don't tell me to shut the fuck up when this forum breeds hate against ALL police officers. Obviously black lives matter, obviously we need reform, but I shake my fucking head everytime this forum tries to pretend that if you're a police officer you're automatically a coward.Nigga, shut the absolute FUCK up
Never even occurred to me to think that. It seems doubtful.
Way to justify shooting people for no reason. That's no different than the people who say shit like "He was a thug so he deserved it."
The Dallas PD was supporting the march.
If you think it's a good thing to shoot allies, then you're not advocating for justice. You're advocating for anarchy.
Robert F. Kennedy said:Some looks for scapegoats, others look for conspiracies, but this much is clear; violence breeds violence, repression brings retaliation, and only a cleaning of our whole society can remove this sickness from our soul.
For there is another kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions; indifference and inaction and slow decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. This is a slow destruction of a child by hunger, and schools without books and homes without heat in the winter.
