Default 11 cops shot last night in Dallas

5 dead, 6 in serious condition. Happened during the protests by snipers for the 2 cops who shot the 2 different men. sh*t is about to get real. If those 2 cops are found not guilty and end up free and clear, things will get really out of control.

I don't think it has anything to do with the black shootings. It was just a good opportunity for 3 terrorists to do what they were already planning to do before the shootings.



The massive crowds, open range with lots of cover, and low security provided the perfect opportunity.

Wow, the reports keep changing. Now there was only 1 gunman and 5 dead officers.

None of this is surprising.

These are unrelated incidents, and we can't prevent crazy with laws and/or policies. Pay closer attention to your loved ones, and get to be closer friends with your neighbors, if you want to be part of the solution. When they start to go off the rails, help them. That may be enough in one case.

If the 2 cops that shot those 2 men, end up getting of free and clear, words can not even describe what type of insanity will ensue. Just make sure you and your families stay safe, and ammo up in case things get real crazy. Martial law might just go into effect.

Here's the kicker..



In every recent "Black person shot by police" Situation not once has race been a proven motivator. Not once have I heard an officer say he simply wanted to shoot a black guy..



But this shooter said he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers. THAT is a real hate crime, but will probably be an over looked statement.



In related news, from an article I read earlier, President Obama actually made a statement condemning these kind of acts against police. I honestly didn't think I'd hear that out of him following this act of terror. While I haven't heard his full statement all I read was the article, I didn't see anything about gun control this time either. Which was a nice change of pace. He was probably just happy the heat was taken off Hillary for a little while.

I really REALLY hate to sounds like a conspiracy theorist but:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press...trike-measures



That was written into law on the 1st.

The Alton Sterling execution on the 5th.

The results of this kind of execution are very clear especially today. Then they blame a random black guy who was seen with an AR days prior, thankfully he did the right thing and quelled the call do disarm America. Still the race bating continues by our president only adding fuel to the fire. It's all way too convenient and social media has made the it that much easier to control people emotions.



I'm just sayin'

I was called a racist today by 2 black guys because I said it shouldnt be Black Lives Matter. It should be ALL lives matter. Why is one race better than another and not the entire population taken into consideration, regardless if your black, white, yellow, orange, civilian, police, or military?
