Two Dallas PD officers shot at protest

[compforce]

RIP to the officers, condolences to their families.

There are also unconfirmed reports that BLM is planning to take out any police officer they see in Baton Rouge on 7/9. Heads on a swivel everyone!
Baton Rouge BLM is planning a "Purge" on police starting July 9th

Rest in Peace.

There is a war out there and our cops deserve our support.

Perspective on the Dallas shootings from a veteran and LEO:

Here is what is not going to happen. We are not going to flinch. We are not going to back down. We are not going to give up ground. Tonight, tomorrow, and every day after, we are going to put on our uniforms and we are going to walk into the best and worst neighborhoods America has to offer. And we are going to protect them and do everything we can to keep them and the people who live there safe.

And to those who choose to prey on the people and the neighborhoods, it is simple. We will hunt you down and we will not stop. Ever.

We are the Thin Blue Line. We are Dallas.

Godspeed to the fallen. Prayers out to their families and loved ones.

RIP to the fallen, prayers to the families. This shit is gonna get worse.

RIP. Shit sickens me. To cops here, be safe.

I haven't seen official word on this yet, and it may not make the news, considering the nature of the beast, but word on the EOD grapevine is that Dallas EOD assets deployed a robot and blew up the corpse of the shooter that killed himself. He did say, before he killed himself, that there were bombs placed all over. Whether the guy was wearing an S-vest or not, the mental picture alone makes me happy.

Closed casket funeral FTW!!!!!!

ETA: The Wall Street Journal only has a single sentence discussing it, but the Guardian (bless their commie hearts) also make mention of it. Dude claimed to have explosives on his person, DPD sends in the 'bot, charge goes boom, bad guy goes "croak," EOD fuckers drink beer to celebrate. EOMFD!!!!!!!!!!

Rest In God's Own Peace, Officers. Prayers out to all touched by this tragic event.

I hate that this is happening.

 

[RackMaster]

I'm not really a religious man but given these events, I felt this prayer appropriate for all our LEO Brothers and Sisters.

Lord, make me fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who wish to harm me and mine.
Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”.
and Lord, if today is truly the day you are to call me home,
Let me die in a pile of brass.

Anyone want to guess which message resonates with me this morning, and which only causes me see carefully chosen and politically correct words, which I do not even believe she really means?

Hilary's falls flat and Trumps is full of emotive language. They're both pillocks.

Semper Fi. Hand salute.


The shooter didn't kill himself. The DPD sent a robot in with explosives and blew the sick bastard up.

You don't need to be prior military to make tactical movements or create a coordinated killzone. One can draw enough inspiration from movies like Heat, Ronin, Proof of Life, and a host of war movies from which to draw inspiration.

The bomb makes it interesting and certainly suggests premeditation or a willingness to act, but putting an ambush together in hours is understandable.

 

[SpitfireV]

I've been hearing they blew up an explosive of some kind next to him with the robot, which killed him. Either way good result.

 

[BuckysBadger24]

Unbelievable. All I've seen all morning is how we can't let this incident slander all of the peaceful protesters of the BLM and yadda yadda. Of course, if an LEO has a "questionable" shooting, all of law enforcement is expected to answer (and pay) for it.

5 officers dead, 7 more in the hospital. But let's make sure we remember that last nights protest was "mostly peaceful". Go fuck yourself Hillary.

R.I.P to the fallen. Speedy recovery to the wounded. God Bless those on here and across the country that continue to wear the badge day in and day out, and get a tough job done without so much as a thank you at the end of the day.

 

[SmokinOkie]

There's going to be 2 'peaceful' BLM protests in my city this weekend. We'll see how this goes.

 

[racing_kitty]

Sending a robot in to countercharge the main charge is a perfectly acceptable RSP, even if the S-vest is still on his living person. He wanted to wear a bomb (or claim to), he was ready to accept the consequences of standard EOD procedure in a Cat A incident. Fuck him, RSP complete.

It will soon come to the point that there will not be police walking on a beat but driving in armored vehicles for their own safety. Higher taxes to offset the costs involved and the lowlifes that get free shit won't have to pay for.

RIP to the officers who lost their lives in this senseless act of violence. This whole week has rapidly become both depressing and enraging. Because of the actions of a few thoughtless morons, there are now more than a dozen innocent people that have been killed or maimed. I'm truly worried about what's going to come in the next few days.
