Interesting. Was definitely something that one woman had recorded on her phone, you could hear the shots in the video.

Shots Fired (Dallas) Dallas PD reports shots fired at a large demonstration in downtown Dallas. Requesting EMS on a rush. AVOID THIS AREA.

Update - Officers now reporting more shots have been fired. Again - AVOID downtown Dallas, specifically area of El Centro College.

With a fucking rifle?



Uh, sorry but I didn't expect this. Pretty sure nobody but you was expecting multiple police officers being shot by a rifle at one of these demonstrations.

If I were giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he meant it should be expected that somewhere police would be retaliated against.

This is just fucked up.

The Dallas PD seemed to be out there in full SUPPORT of the protestors. Why would someone fire off a shot at an officer?

From the main thread:

Dallas PD clearing roads and stopping traffic for the march.

Seems like the Dallas PD is supporting the marchers, not trying to hinder them. And using the official DPD Twitter to signal boost the march isn't a bad thing.

the police were live streaming this for some reason which is weird, then shots ring out at a protest

Why is it weird that the local PD was supporting a protest?

Or are you trying to suggest some false flag conspiracy BS?

Well when institutions have failed for over 200 years, at some point you have to expect people will react like this at some point.

I agree it isn't the answer, but minorities have been murdered and abused for centuries en masse in the USA with few checks against it.

*edit: Sorry, I'm tired of this cycle happening and happening. It's... tough to find sympathy but I understand the need. I don't know what the answer is.

Wasn't this the pd that was streaming the march and live tweeting support? That sucks. Not the way to go :( Hopefully everyone makes it out okay.

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''.

Had it on Fox when they were showing it behind Megyn's talking. They showed clearly one officer face down on the ground on air before they realized what it was. You could hear a producer or someone yell "oh, shit!" In the background.

As if this wasn't already sad and frustrating enough, the moment there's a display of unity it gets destroyed with more violence.
