At a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Dallas Thursday night, a sniper firing from an elevated position opened fire on Dallas police officers pulling crowd control duty for the demonstration, according to news released from the Dallas police chief.
One person shot is a civilian and is not in critical condition.
Ten police officers, including a DART officer, were shot by the snipers. Four of them are dead.
I really, really hope that the US House members are paying attention. Because if they don't do anything this time, there will be a LOT more Dems in the house after November.
Also, Dallas police released a photo of a black man in a camo T-shirt carrying a slung rifle. This man was later identified as the brother of the march's organizer. This man surrendered his rifle to police when the sniper shooting started, and HE IS NO LONGER A SUSPECT in this incident.
So WHY does ABC News still have his photo up as a "person of interest" on their website?
ABC, you done fucked up.
This shit -- the shootings of unarmed black folk by police, and police being shot at events centering black people -- has GOT TO STOP.
If the current Congress, both parts, doesn't hold an emergency session pronto to deal with this mess, then I may lose all hope for the USA's future.
Rage. Seethe. Boil. Fume. Flames. On the side of my face.
