I wonder how the hillbillies in the NRA deal with this one? The usual come-back is that if the victims were "carrying" there wouldn't be any crime. Well, this time the victims were all heavily armed and well trained to use their arms.
One gunman onky, though ... who the hell were the police shooting back at? There were bullets flying in every direction. I wonder how many police were shot by police?

Actually, the real hillbillies are rather well-known for shooting at the authorities. To this day, more Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents are killed in anti-moonshining operations than the other three categories combined.
Dallas Cops Lethally Shot Because Black Lives Don’t Matter?
Unaccountable killer cops turning Black communities into battlegrounds made overnight Thursday’s incident inevitable.
It was just a matter of time – nor likely the last instance of justifiable public outrage exploding. People and communities take so much before reacting.
Until killer cops are held accountable for false arrests, extreme brutality, other forms of abuse and murdering Black youths, Dallas may prove a shot across the bow for what’s to come – a declaration of war against longstanding injustice.

After all those years of militarization of the police, they still weren't competent to find and neutralize a shooter.
We wasted our money.

Maybe we should ask our in-house attorney about the legality of using explosives in peace time against a fugitive....
Then again his consultation retainer might be too much for us....¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shooting of Dallas officers spurs acts of kindness to police
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Dallas shooting that killed five officers has spurred an outpouring of support for police, not only in Texas but hundreds of miles away.
Around the country, people have showed up at local departments with flowers, sent social media messages or called to say thanks.
They delivered coffee, pizzas, cakes and moments of solace for officers grieving after the deadliest day for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Two patrol cars serving as a memorial outside of Dallas police headquarters were adorned with flowers, signs and flags by some of the people pausing to pay their respects to the five officers killed and seven wounded.
John Fife, with his ball cap in hand, passed a red rose to an officer sitting in a vehicle guarding those headquarters. In another corner of the country, a Seattle officer accepted a matching flower from Jasen Frelot, one of several people from the faith community there who set out to show police support.
Officers also received roses in the Cleveland suburb of South Euclid, where they found single stems on their cruiser windshields Friday morning. The Rev. Carmen Cox Harwell, a Beachwood pastor and a former police chaplain, said she put flowers on Beachwood and South Euclid officers' cars as a sign of gratitude.
"I just want them to know that they're loved and they're supported and we need them," she told WOIO-TV.
Still others simply stopped officers on the street to chat or offer hugs.
"It's just been amazing. Our guys can't go out this morning without getting stopped by people wanting to thank them," Dustin Dwight, a spokesman for Louisiana State Police Troop L, told NOLA.comThe Times-Picayune on Friday.
In Chattanooga, Tennessee, officers were getting extra handshakes from strangers at a local concert Friday night.
"They always comfort and, I guess, wrap their arms around us, to protect us as well as we protect them," Chattanooga Sgt. Tommy Meeks told WRCB-TV.
The Lower Merion Police Department, near Philadelphia, said its officers had heavy hearts but full bellies after a woman and her son delivered a stack of pizzas Friday. Another woman and her daughter on Saturday brought them coffee and donuts, a gesture reported by at least a handful of local police departments this weekend.
Others shared photos of police department tables covered with snacks, sodas, cookies and more.
In Ballwin, Missouri, where a suburban St. Louis policeman was shot and critically hurt during a Friday traffic stop, Andrew Kulha brought the investigators water. He told KMOV-TV he thought it had "been a rough few days to be an officer."
The Dallas shooting occurred during a Thursday night protest over fatal police shootings of black men in Minnesota and Louisiana earlier in the week.

I'd like to ask one question to all the posters on CC..
The day of the shooting, on your way home to your family, sitting around the house with family and friends, or just being healthy and alive..
Did anyone really pause for 60 second and just think how lucky you are, to be alive another day, with what you have..
5 officers and their families lost that, in one senseless act, and honestly it could happen anywhere, any time.
If not on the day of the shooting.. how about now?

Gun-rights activist says he was defamed by Dallas police

FORT WORTH, Texas -- In a green camouflage shirt and an AR-15 strapped across his chest, Mark Hughes attended a Dallas demonstration against excessive use of force by police as an activist of open-carry, a recently-expanded Texas law that allows licensed gun owners to openly carry rifles, shotguns and pistols.
Around midnight Thursday, after a sniper -- later identified as 25-year-old Micah Johnson -- killed five police officers and wounded six other officers and two civilians, the Dallas Police Department tweeted a photo of Hughes, describing him as a suspect and asking for the public's assistance in locating him.
The photo was retweeted hundreds of times.
"The world saw him as a mass-murderer. Why? Because he was a black man carrying a gun," Hughes' attorney, Paul Saputo, told WFAA-TV.
During an overnight news conference, Dallas Police Chief David Brown described Hughes, without naming him, as "a person of interest who witnesses at the scene say was involved in the shooting."
The department later tweeted that the person of interest had turned himself in. Hughes was released a short time later.
Hughes' brother, Cory, was an organizer of Thursday's march. While Hughes was in custody, Cory Hughes told television station KTVT that his brother was not the shooter.
As soon as the shooting started, "I told him, 'Give your gun to this cop because we don't want an accident. We don't want them to come around the corner and see you with a gun and start shooting at you,'" Cory Hughes told CBS 11.
The Hughes brothers claim Mark Hughes was held for 30 minutes before he was released.
Hughes said police questioned him about why he wanted to shoot officers, adding that they told him witnesses saw him firing the rifle. That "is a lie," Hughes said.
Hughes told CBS 11 that he was "defamed" by police. His identification as a person of interest has resulted in "thousands" of death threats on Facebook, he added.
Reached by The Associated Press late Friday, Saputo said Hughes hasn't "ruled out" taking legal action against Dallas police.

A source tells thearmsguide.com that when Dallas SWAT made entry after the detonation of the explosive device, they encountered a Saiga AK-74 style semiautomatic rifle on the floor among the rubble. The weapon had a 30 round magazine, single point sling, Magpul folding stock and a rail system with a Primary Arms 5 power scope.
This photo should be credited to thearmsguide.com
The Saiga AK-74 is a semiautomatic version of the venerable AK-47. The AK-74 fires a smaller 5.45 X 39 cartridge more like that of the AR-15. Saiga is a Russian commercial company which imports rifles into the United States. The Siaga is at the more expensive end of AK style rifles.
We are committed to giving you the latest news as it comes out. Details to follow.

This sort of incident has become so frequent and predictable that they have just become part of the background noise.
It's going to get bigger, worse and more widespread and if you haven't been dulled down by the endless violence yet, you will become so by necessity.
