Four police officers have been killed and eight other officers injured after gunmen opened fire during a protest march in downtown Dallas.

Two snipers picked off the officers during the ‘Black Lives Matter’ march in the Texas city, CBS DFW reports.

“Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally,” Dallas Police Department chief David Brown said in a statement.
July 08, 2016: Shots have been fired at a protest being held in Dallas over the shooting deaths of two African Americans by US police officers.

“Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway.”

There are mixed reports about the location of the suspects, with FOX4 reporting that one of the gunmen had been shot in an exchange of gunfire with police. While a second suspect is believed to be holed up in a Dallas car park wearing a bulletproof vest.

Live footage of the rally showed protesters marching along a street when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.

The shooting reportedly took place just before 9pm as protesters were marching near Lamar and Main St.

It follows the deaths this week of two black men - Alton Sterling in Louisiana and Philando Castile in Minnesota – both shot dead by police in incidents caught on video.

Thousands of protesters have taken to the street today in several US cities.

About a thousand protesters clogged New York's iconic Union Square, at one point staging a sit-in. Police arrested some of them, loading them onto city buses they borrowed for the occasion.

Another thousand rallied in Washington at the White House, then marched to the US Capitol where veteran civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis stood on the steps and addressed the crowd through a bullhorn.

Every opportunity these scum get to kill a police officer, they jump at it.

Now it's your turn haemorrhoid (peccahead).

The cops should round up these pieces of black scum and have a good ole fashioned lynching.

I don't think it's terrorism; I'd say blind revenge is more like it.

Revenge is committed on the person who has done you wrong. This is just plain terrorism.

Terrorism with a twist of revenge, but at the end of the day, murder.

Alarming. The states is moving towards a race war. It's been brewing for a long time.

So, they're Muslims?

How do you know they weren't white supremacists working for Trump?


It's all to perfect isn't it?

Cops kill YET another black man who is not resisting, a large demonstration ensues, just as that PEACEFUL PROTEST is dispersing shots are fired by unseen snipers.

And of course they are immediately identified as Black, they must be right?

How can they be terrorists, then?

Shurely shome mishtake.

Not terrorists, though?

They needlessly kill white folk too

I'm waiting for someone, black or white, to come out and say: "for every one of us you kill, we'll kill two of you"

That's what it's coming to. The cops have been a little to sadistic and trigger happy on occasions

Perhaps they were black and muslim!

It's a never ending cycle.  Lots of violent black criminals,  the police get more on edge.  USA is phucked

Yep. it's terrorism- ninemsn



Though the White House ruled out any link between the gunman and known "terrorist organizations," a Facebook page attributed to Johnson ties him to several radical black activist movements listed as hate groups in the United States.

If you reject all the evidence and only accept what is required to reach you desired outcome.

Why did you not mention that he told the cop he was carrying a weapon and when the cop told him to raise his hands he reached into his pocket.

The very last thing I would do if a cop had a gun aimed at me would be to reach into my pocket.

I hate the NBN. Hey people  don't sign up to any of it. It is a big fail

So I'll try AND GET THIS IN before it drops out again.!!~

The man in the car was following instructions by the pyscho cop. He still got MURDERED.

I get the impression that ever since the Civil Rights Act, the blacks have come to believe more & more that they don't have to obey the law because it's white man's law.

They might try showing some respect for the law, as most of their sensible leaders suggest - Obama bei ng a sleazy exception - and they might get a lot more respect back.

As perhaps the only Black American in this forum, you will listen to what I have to say and like it:

A) To those calling for lynchings/mass-killings of us so-called "animals."

I came to an Australian forum because 1) I love those  adorable, plucky accents you have and imagine them in every post 2) to get away from racist white Americans' ramblings.  I know damned well that all your guns were confiscated, leaving me standing as the only person in this forum with guns (which I've been amassing since 2014 to combat crazy white Americans should they ever attempt to hurt me).  That said, I have more guns than you, so I win.  If you ever wish to attempt to lynch me, please catch a flight and come to my house.  You will have as many perforations as a slice of Swiss cheese when we are done with our confrontation.  (Most Aussie people are awesome though, and I love your cute accents! I'm single, you wonderful Aussie ladies!  Please PM for my dating resume.)

B) On a serious note, American law & institutions have evolved to promote the power and interests of whites over blacks.  This is reflected in every aspect of life -- poverty rates, likelihood of imprisonment for the same crimes, access to education and medical...you name it.  What is happening here is no different than what you observe from the Palestinians in Israel, the Chechans in Russia, the muslims in France, the Hutus in Rwanda, etc etc...When you design a society that treats a group badly, that group gets pissed and begins to fight you back.  I know I'm really pissed -- I've seen too many lives wasted by the animals who think we are nothing but animals  .  We're getting fed up.  You can only kick a dog so many times before it bites you...

Seems to me black americans are the most disadvantaged and 'sinned against' by the white society in which they were dragged, historically. What you said I have highlighted above is simply undeniable.

Hey if I were you AYank I'd have the same outlook.  Not a place anyone would really CHOOSE to be is it? When the Law officers become out of control killers you have little chance of achieving any thing that can effect change.

All I can say is good luck for the future... think you're going to need all those guns.
