Yesterday I did not post since I was very much bothered about the two african american men were shot by police and I didnt want to write about it or give an opinion since the media was spining it out of control.
Downtown Dallas was in lockdown Friday after snipers shot 12 officers, five fatally, during a protest over the deadly police shootings of black men elsewhere in the united states this week. This was not just an act of terrorism but very cruel and unnecesary!
Im assuming this will only make things worst and I see either a civil war or marshall law coming really soon if this continues.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I agree with you that it was a cruel and unnecessary action. Too wrongs don't make a right. Like you I can see the actions of few making things bad for everyone. The violence is appalling. Racism and profiling along with violence needs to stop.

The problem is that police officers in America are killing black men left and right and are not even being punished for it, last night at the protest im guessing people who were upset planned and decided to get revenge etc

As a Canadian on the outside looking in, this is horrifying. I live near Moncton, New Brunswick where a few years back we had several police officers killed in the line of duty by some young man with some serious problems. The community and the country pulled together in face of this. I don't see this happening south of the border. I see the flames of hatred getting fanned. I think there are a lot of people who need to take a long hard look at themselves before there is any hope of resolution. Not the least amoung those people are those in the media.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Far too often that's for sure. This going to take some real leadership from the top. It's also going to take real cooperation from the police. So far we haven't seen either.

New facts keep coming out - it seems two of those injured were civilians. Not sure if they were included in the original cont of those injured.

Yeah I think a total 4 civilians were injured and they are still unsure if all the suspects were killed or caught etc

Protesting is fine, but shooting because of a shooting? I hope anyone found guilty of shooting ANYONE gets hung

@BACONSTRIPSXXX all it does is take you from a protestor with a voice, to a waste of space criminal.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I too have been listening to the news.I am wondering where all this will end.It definitely was an act of revenge on the police for shooting those black men.

I don't think we will see either of those drastic things, but I would not want to be a police officer or a person of color in the US today. The shootings in Minnesota and Louisiana and so many more seem to happen daily. I heard a statistic that three people per day are shot by police officers in the US. Some are no doubt justified, but far too many are not.

I agree and im sure their are other incidents that we dont know about since the media covers what they wanrt and some stories get covered up

@JamesHxstatic I beg to differ, Fox News and a few other are not relaible since they have been cuaght lying many times and only cover what they can use to get more views instead of telling the truth

@BACONSTRIPSXXX I think that, overall, the 'media' does a fair job in the US. I rely on PBS for fair, unbiased news.

It really is, il be in the states in 22 days and Im afraid for my safety, one of the reasons I moved to The Dominican Republic was to raise my children away from all the racism, hate, violence, and brain wash influences. Its truly sad and alarming that this type of stuff is going on
