Thread: 2 Police shot in Dallas protests

2 snipers shot 10 police offers from elevated positions during rally.

3 dead so far.

That's frightening.

Press conference in a few minutes.

I've been critical of Fox and right-wing radio whipping up irrational hate, but in this case I think HuffPo and others have blood on their hands. This is...I'm speechless.

Four officers dead. Others in surgery.

This is horrible. It's not how you react to things you see as wrong.

Twitter is not always a reliable source in these instances, but here is some stuff i'm reading:

They say at least two shooters, one is cornered. Chief says bomb threat made.

Horrible stuff.

The price of living in the age of instant information: incorrect information.

I mean, he is carrying a weapon. Hopefully, he's not dumb enough to try and 'blend' in carrying a weapon, if he is a shooter. Does Texas have an open carry law?
