BREAKING: Shooting at Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, TX - Please SOURCE your updates. - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Disgruntled;50671906]Some people are calling false flag because of an ad on craigslist? The ad itself looks super fake.[/QUOTE] There are always the crazies who call false flag, don't bother putting any thought into what they say

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50671890]I swear I can't sleep overnight without some sort of chaos unfolding. This all still happening? It's hard to figure out what's exactly happening, especially with a 1000+ post thread to sift through.[/QUOTE] shooting initiated at BLM protest, targeting cops. 4 shooters identified, 2 snipers, 1 on the highway, and one in a garage. All except garage are in custody. iirc 11 police hit total, 4 dead. SWAT teams are preparing to move in on garage.

[QUOTE=VinLAURiA;50671897]Morse... ?[/QUOTE] I have no idea what it means or why it happens but it happens on the Chicago PD scanner frequently

[QUOTE=kapin_krunch;50671908]Wait, there's fucking 4 of them? I thought there was 2?[/QUOTE] 3 in custody, whether they were all shooters is up in the air but there were, at the least, two shooters

[QUOTE=AaronM202;50671905]Oh here we go. I want to hear your reasing into why literally everyone who puts on the uniform is somehow instantly a prick.[/QUOTE] Maybe we could save it for later? We're probably going to be discussing these issues for weeks. Maybe we should keep the thread for discussions for current events and goings on, for now?

[QUOTE=milktree;50671866]maybe, but some of us actually are infantry and just want to share our 2 cents[/QUOTE][QUOTE=RG4ORDR;50671877]If you're the military like some of us on FP, enlighten us and the people of what you think it might be. Personally it might be a veteran just because of how he moves and has control over his weapon.[/QUOTE]"What is the firearms training industry for $400, Alex." I've never been in the military but I've paid for and attended classes that teach exactly what's been demonstrated; assuming the shooter is former or current military probably isn't a good idea. [QUOTE=RG4ORDR;50671877]Your average gun owner,homeboy,bubba,etc. Does NOT have that type of natural control and poise under those circumstances, specifically the way he encroached and fired has the makings of someone whose either been trained or practiced running close fire drills.[/QUOTE]Sure, your average gun owner might not be but I'd wager somebody gearing up to gun down people who you know are going to be armed and trained to use their weapons is not average in any way.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;50671920]Maybe we could save it for later? We're probably going to be discussing these issues for weeks.

[QUOTE=Snapster;50671975]Oakland police department front doors. [thumb]https://i.imgur.com/V13s5rx.jpg[/thumb][/QUOTE] for a second I thought that was blood. thats just messed up... maybe it was just random vandalism but it feels oddly targeting to be throwing red liquid (symbolizing blood) at the doors of a police station that just lost several lives. what a deplorable insult

[QUOTE=Hilton;50671977]I don't get it[/QUOTE] Some representation of blood, whose it's supposed to represent, I don't know.

The last time I did MOUT training it was a week long, a solid week of repeating the same shit over and over again so you just do it without thinking. Now there's still a chance they're not military, but they didn't just attend a $400 8 hour course to react like that.

Not Dallas.

[QUOTE=Captain JDAM;50671985]Some representation of blood, whose it's supposed to represent, I don't know.[/QUOTE] could be a threat, could be a poorly timed protest, could be a deliberate protest in reaction to these events

More morse code on the ch12 radio.

Fox is reporting that the suspect is down but alive, with multiple gunshot wounds, it sounds like.

i don't get "pro cop" from someone plastering red paint all over the doors of a police department shortly after a anti-cop shooting

You know who's fault this is? The media's. Every chance they get they make it about race and the cop's fault even before they have details. And they run with it. Non stop, constantly, and NEVER apologize for being wrong when they are. And this is going to be no different

This still going on? How many mags do these fuckers have?

[QUOTE=Map in a box;50671999]i don't get "pro cop" from someone plastering red paint all over the doors of a police department shortly after a anti-cop shooting[/QUOTE] neither do i, judging by some reactions i have seen by some people on places like facebook and twitter i wouldn't put it past someone doing that to barb at police in general

Have they gotten any statements from the captured shooters?
