Is the Dallas police shooting a false flag affair in behalf of gun control? Is it the result of a war veteran suffering from post traumatic stress disorder? Is the shooting the beginning of retribution for thousands of wanton police murders of US citizens in the 21st century? Or is there some other explanation? We will never know. The perpetrator is dead. The authorities will tell us whatever suits the purposes of authority. We could say that the police have brought this on themselves by their undisciplined and violent behavior toward the public. On the other hand, we can hold the police chiefs, the police unions, the mayors and city councils, the governors, prosecutors, and the Justice (sic) Department responsible for failure to hold accountable those cops who murder and commit gratuitous violence against the public. When police execute someone, the excuse is always something like this: “He reached under his shirt to his waistband. I thought he had a gun. I didn’t want to leave my children fatherless and my wife a widow.” The murdered victim’s wife and children, if any, are of no consequence. Conservatives, especially those taught to be fearful of crime, have scant objection to police murders. Their view is always: “The police wouldn’t have shot him without cause.” The same bias in favor of the police is why conservative jurors always convict. The liberals tend to interpret the shootings as racism, so they want to combat racism. The real problem is that public authorities do not protect the public from gratuitous violence. Therefore, hatred and disrespect for the police are growing. Routine murders by police–several each day, almost all of which go unpunished–are generating the kind of anger that causes people to snap and to reply to violence with violence. If the criminal justice system applied also to the police, the police would think twice before they wantonly murder. Being a police officer is not supposed to be risk free. A police officer should be concerned about the public, not merely his own family. We cannot accept gratuitous police violence on the grounds that the officer’s behavior is dictated by his concerns for his own family. If an officer cannot accept the risks of being a police officer, he should find a different occupation. Police violence is out of control because mayors, prosecutors, and governors are failing the public by refusing to put a halt to it. According to conservatives, punishment deters crime, but they do not apply this to the police. Police violence is also out of control because of the revolution in police training which teaches police to protect themselves and to subdue the suspect regardless of cost. A number of former police officers have written to me that the reason they gave up the occupation is that today police are being trained to be killers like soldiers. If a former police officer or someone knowledgeable about this training would describe it and its history, where it originated and why, I will post it on the website.

Not necessarily so. "Honest, April 15th is the real April Fool's Day". "The almighty Dollar ain't worth a buck". "White Lives Matter Most if you're white" Doug Scheidt
The recent disturbances, lootings, and shootings are the direct result of the experiences cops have every day with criminals, blacks, crack-heads, and assorted other scum. I can't blame a cop for being cocked and loaded every minute of his shift especially if he's working in a high crime district. The real problem is that these cops are human and after a period of time working with the scum that rape, rob and murder, everyone starts looking like a criminal and the cops become callous. In some cases cops are suffering PTSD because they work for years in combat zones and see a lot of things that shouldn't be witnessed at all. That doesn't mean I approve or condone murderous behavior either. I question the hiring practices of governments and believe they have seriously lowered the standards necessary to employ a competent police force. I also believe that many military veterans that may have PTSD themselves are given preferential treatment with respect to hiring. "Honest, April 15th is the real April Fool's Day".

The problem is that, generally speaking, police departments are unaccountable. Just like Hillary.
Police are not elected representatives of the people, they are literally hired guns of the city.

The Secretary of State is not elected either. The problem is that police departments and the Clintons are unaccountable.

Visited a few countries, to maintain social order, they ALL had hired guns, no exceptions. Society would not, cannot exist without them.
And once again we let them feed us the story line of the very daid lone nut assassin. According to reports at the time there were at least two other shooters that night. http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/08/two-dallas-shooter-suspects-in-custody-police- say-threat-to-public-is-over/ Mainstream outlets are now confusing the other shooters with the arrest of two AA brothers carrying out their own 2nd Amendment protest at the demonstration, AR-15s slung over their shoulders. They surrendered their weapons and were found to have nothing to do with the shooting, but not before being nabbed as suspects. The NEWS is now parading these two black guys in suit and tie interviews attempting to deflect from what we learned in initial reports of these shootings. Once again the story stinks, and the "lone nut assassin" is silent forever. Strange though, ain't it, how they used a bomb to put him out of action? That was an original touch. "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan
Otherwise I would NOT have volunteered to be the first thru the door. Dozen cops killed or wounded? In war, we were taught, throw a grenade into the foxhole FIRST, then shoot any survivors. I thought that was logical.
That's a logical assessment. Still there are a number of ways that they could have cooled this Johnson without deceasing him. With other shooters on the loose, it might have been useful to sweat this character to see who else he was hooked up with. Anyway - where are the other shooters?? Two other guys were seen popping away from an office building. "If ignorance is truly bliss, then why do so many Americans need Prozac?" - Dave McGowan
Why do you spose 'driver/sales workers and truck drivers'; 'bus and truck mechanics' are on the list?
_____________________________________________________________ Remember what the cops did to one of their own, Dorner, in California? They exterminated him with extreme prejudice. Same here. I imagine that the 'negotiations' were determined to be fruitless very quickly and they decided to just end it.
Conservatives, especially those "taught" to be fearful of crime, have scant objection to police murders. Their view is always: “The police wouldn’t have shot him without cause.” The same bias in favor of the police is why conservative jurors always convict.

That's all I gotta say except that I'd offer that if we get through 2016 with our lives and well being more or less intact, we'll all have a lot to be thankful for. Peace, bro.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON It was not part of their blood, They were not easily moved, Their voices were even and low. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not suddently bred.Is the Dallas police shooting a false flag affair in behalf of gun control? Is it the result of a war veteran suffering from post traumatic stress disorder? Is the shooting the beginning of retribution for thousands of wanton police murders of US citizens in the 21st century? Or is there some other explanation?
by Rudyard Kipling
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.
They were icy — willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

Good question. Recall JFK in Dallas, many saw or heard other shooters. Above my pay grade. One thing is certain, if government is involved, the public will get swindled. Anyway - where are the other shooters?? Two other guys were seen popping away from an office building.

Indeed. A good friend who I recently introduced to firearms just asked me to find him a good .308 to have on hand. Thanks to TexasGunTrader.com that was fairly easy to do. ...I'd offer that if we get through 2016 with our lives and well being more or less intact, we'll all have a lot to be thankful for.

I've got a Belgian made FAL which was once owned by a Marine Officer. He had the receiver nickle plated to resist corrosion. We used to go out the Buffalo Rock in Illinois where the old strip coal mines were. There was a rifle range there and we would put the cross hairs on the base of a plastic bucket about 100 yards so out and see how high we could get the bucket to jump. The guy that was doing the best shooting had a Russian sniper rifle. ;) a good .308

dpdbeat.com/2016/07/08/in...arding-the-deadly-attack- on-police-officers/ July 8 Investigative Update Regarding the Deadly Attack on Police Officers The following is an update on the progress of the investigation: At this time, detectives have interviewed over 200 officers and it appears at least 12 officers discharged their duty weapons. Resources from various federal, state, county and local law enforcement agencies such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshals, Homeland Security Investigations, Drug Enforcement Administration, Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, Dallas Area Rapid Transit, Dallas County District Attorney’s Office, and the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department are all assisting with the investigation and the processing of evidence and crime scene locations. Portions of the crime scene locations in the downtown area will remain closed to the public until Wednesday. The deceased suspect has been identified as Micah Johnson, B/M/25. The suspect has no criminal history. Information provided through the course of the investigation, indicates that the suspect was an Army veteran and others have identified him as a loner. The suspect’s Facebook account included the following names and information: Fahed Hassen, Richard GRIFFIN aka Professor Griff, GRIFFIN embraces a radical form of Afrocentrism, and GRIFFIN wrote a book A Warriors Tapestry. During the search of the suspect’s home, detectives found bomb making materials, ballistic vests, rifles, ammunition, and a personal journal of combat tactics. Detectives are in the process of analyzing the information contained in the journal. In addition, Brandon Waller B/M/25 was arrested for unrelated weapons charges at the scene on July 7, 2016. This is an ongoing investigation. If anyone has information regarding the shootings, please call 214-671-3584. We are so thankful for the overwhelming prayers, support, love, and donations from everyone. Please continue to keep the families of the officers in your thoughts and prayers. Out of respect for the families of the fallen and injured officers, the Dallas Police Department is waiting to officially release their names pending approval from the family members.

You tell me, sounds like Micah Johnson had authority issues: DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – While downtown Dallas ambush shooter Micah Johnson had no criminal record, he did have a troubled past in the U.S. Army. Police on Friday morning also provided some details about who Johnson was and what could have motivated him to open fire on authorities Thursday night. A military lawyer said that the 25-year-old man was accused of sexual harassment while he served in the Army Reserves. The allegations came up in 2014 when Johnson was serving in Afghanistan. A female soldier accused him of sexual harassment as they served together. The military attorney who represented Johnson at the time explained that his client was sent back to the United States with a recommendation that he be removed from the Army Reserves with an “other than honorable discharge.” The lawyer said that this is highly unusual. Johnson was honorably discharged from the military in 2015, but that leaves questions given the harassment accusation. Investigators are also looking into a journal of combat techniques that was found at Johnson’s home in Mesquite, along with a number of bomb-making materials, rifles and ammunition. City leaders said that Johnson was angry about recent police shootings — most recently those in Louisiana and Minnesota this past week — where black men were shot dead by white police officers. During a standoff with authorities at El Centro College in downtown Dallas, Johnson reportedly told negotiators that he wanted to “kill white people, especially white officers,” Chief David Brown with the Dallas Police Department said. “This was a mobile shooter with written manifestos on how to shoot and move, and he did that,” Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings added. “He did his damage, but we did damage to him as well.” “When I saw his face, I was like wow,” stated Thomas Muhammad with the National Black United Front. “But not surprised, because the anger is heated out there.” http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2016/07/09/dallas-shooter-accused-of-sexual-harassment- in-army/ (auto-link doesn't work)

He got away with an H.D. because of his race. Happens all the time. How many more running around just like him waiting to cash in their chips?

That is a dangerous occupation. I pity those doing it. Once traffic stopt as I was going over like the Hackensack River and just sat there a long time. From another motorist I learned that a highway worker in an area cordoned off from traffic had been hit by a car and knocked over the rail into the drink. Wish I knew what became of him. (There were a lot of naked people back then -- according to renaissance paintings, all ancient heroes just wore loose rags of that :-)

Clever of those Egyptians to employ baboons that way. I wouldn't have thought that those animals were tractable in that way. Too wild. We came up on a gaggle of them years ago, throwing them white bread for kicks. The guy I was traveling with kept getting closer and closer with his Nikon for souvenir shots. The patriarch baboon sitting up on top of a wall was looking off in the distance away from us but grunting louder and louder. I hollered, "That's close enough, dammit!" I had already grabbed the jack handle out of the truck because I sensed what my friend was up to. There were little ones about, and suddenly a female charged us. Man but these creatures have a fearsome set of teeth. I near soiled my jeans. That was the end of the photo shoot. We lit out of there in a cloud of dust.

Oh, boy, what a great BTPesque memoir!! Getting just the right shot is killing people right and left anymore. Reminds me of a scene in A Passage To India where Adela the nascent SJW has taken off on her bicycle to explore India in person. She finds herself up against a ruined Hindu temple in the wild inhabited by apes who are none too pleased to see her. The apes are soon coming after her screeching. Tractable -- great word. Baboons are prolly more so and more educable as well than their cousins the amerikan shvartzes.

Since the shooter was moving, the cops could easily have thought that there were two or three of them. Who knows how many in reality?
