Imagine if you are Castile's or Sterling's family member? Or a young, optimistic but maybe naive or unsophisticated BLM supporter or supportive college kid. All of this angst and sense of injustice just utterly suspended and hijacked. Talk about cognitive dissonance. No doubt about it, tonight had been an absolute cultural mind # so many levels.
- people protesting the police suddenly in desperate need of police protection.
- police worried about protesters only to be attacked but - let's face it terrorists
- we had the horror porn of the shootings being played over and over today only to be replaced by images of basically combat on the streets of a major American city

Whomever that was was military trained. Im not saying 'in' the military, just military trained to shoot and move.
you can learn that stuff at airlift, what you cant teach is the hate or willingness to follow through without paralyzing fear of the consequences

Why do they keep using the word "sniper?" Making a mental note of this for later.
I doubt this is that big of a deal...
Sniper is defined as "One who shoots at other people from a concealed place."
I think they fit that description.

If two white guys had done this we'd of heard mental hate fueled racists 30 seconds after it started.
