Dallas shooting!

a reply to: rexsblues

Cmon. I'm not calling you a racist. But you're calling people losers because they put their fists in the air. Maybe they haven't forgotten about the innocent black man in Minnesota who was murdered? Maybe one of the police victims were black ? Perhaps these people are completely against what the shooters did?

No. You jump the gun and call them "fkn losers". I understand this is a heated night. So maybe I jumped the gun on you jumping the gun?


I'm sorry for making it personal. I was just commenting from the hip. It's a tough night for everyone.

Gonna try to get some sleep. Don't think I'll sleep well though. Hope tomorrow things have calmed down. I was hoping I would be a bit more prepared than i currently am. Sadly enough i honestly hope this is some type of radical Islamic terror, because if it isn't the future looks dark indeed.

God bless and keep you all.

just rewatched the video,



see when they show the two over on the right side, i guess those were cops now. not sure.
but if you watch from the 1:47 mark you see one person kneeling on the side walk next to the columns and if you look at the end of that sidewalk at the grass you see someone running off. then you see the guy next to the column stand up and run around the back of the building.

so i don't know now, i say that was both of them leaving.

If this dude is still firing at police, he's strapped to the teeth.

Yet, this reporter is just a block from the parking garage when the suspect is holed up and he said nothing about hearing gunfire.

Odd! It feels like the news is outdated or flat out false.

"Still exchanging fire" could be as simple as one shot going off every 20 min or so. Who knows.

He's probably running low on ammo and can't just blindly lay down fire. I'd think at this point he's probably conserving his ammo for when they finally breech.

They're saying 3 in custody and a 4th battling it out in a garage.

I feel like the Mandela effect is setting in with some of this out dated reporting tonight.

There is active scene now. 1 suspect has been surrounded into some garage. There has been heavy gunfire and suspect has announced that: "End is near, this place is full of explosives."

Fluid situations always have a lot of misleading info because of so many different perspectives.

a reply to: bknapple32

I had to switch feeds a few times, none were in sync. It definitely was not a unified reporting response like we've seen in the past. That could be because it spans a much larger area. Point is they are not all on the same page as has been the norm for awhile now.

For anyone joining us...

3 suspects in custody
4th suspect in negotiations/stand off

10 officers shot - 4 of them killed also 1 civilian injured (edit)

Reports of alleged explosives (could be a bluff)

There was only one guy in the main video, next to the buildings with the big exterior columns.

Who was shooting at that guy that was ultimately executed in the video. Shots were pinging all around that column and off the sidewalk. That was WEIRD. Seemed like firecrackers exploding around both the murderer and the murdered.

I saw that too and can't figure it out either.

I'm tellin' ya, shooter seemed way too cool under fire like that.

Tells me that it was no street gangbanger cop hater.

What will be revealed in the next days and weeks should be interesting.

You know, it's a sad day in America when we hope it's ISIS rather than the alternative...

What the police on local news said was simply that the people were waiting for public transport buses out of the area and there was concern that too many people were in the store. No looting. Stop trying to incite crap.

Would you please stop telling posters what to say and what not to say. Worry about your own posts.

Nowhere did I tell anyone what to say or not to say. I just said I'm sick of the repetitive crap some people post or take every opportunity to slide into any topic. My OPINION. Got it?

a reply to: bknapple32

How do you know the man was innocent?

Maybe if you chill with the hate, hate wouldn't spread.

unless they released a new tape, all society has is proof what happened after the shooting. We don't know happened to cause the shooting. Stop your personal bias and predujuce, what for the facts before you say murdered, all you are doing is spreading hate.

Another tragedy from tonight is the loss of the entire reason for today's protests.
