Texas politicians and Austin officials are reacting to the deadly shooting at Dallas that has killed at least three officers and injured at least seven others during a Black Lives Matter downtown rally Thursday night.
This list will be updated as more information becomes available. Here are some of their comments:
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott: Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dallas law enforcement community and the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) officers killed and injured this evening. I’ve spoken to Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw and have directed him to offer whatever assistance the City of Dallas needs at this time. In times like this we must remember - and emphasize - the importance of uniting as Americans.
U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz: My prayers are with those harmed in Dallas and with the first responders. My office will be in touch with the local authorities on the ground to assist however we can....

I think you mean Austin police chief—but you are right that it is worth reading.
He is a total dick.
My God, what an a**hole for a police chief. Must be great working for this guy. His dept. should walk off the job.
The blood of these policemen is all over the hands of Obonzo, Clintoon and the pizza eating chimps treating the floor of the House of Representatives like it was a Peter Piper Pizza birthday party. The heated rhetoric and hatred towards police officers just got four policemen killed. Same number of Americans that Clintoon got killed in Benghazi.
Yes, he is a dick.
That may be the case==but even a broken clock is right twice a day. Did you actually read the statement?

It’s going to be more than four before this is all over.
What is your point?
Race relations have deteriorated so much under Obama - and yet, this will IMHO, benefit the Democrats and turn out their base against the racist GOP.
Never forget BLM is little more than a front for the Revolutionary Communist Party.
Read the comment by someone on the page where the police chief's remarks are quoted. Dude tells it like it is. He cut the police chief a new one, much deserved.
Is austin still in Texas?
The great tradition of commenting on articles that one hasn’t read on the basis of some other knowledge debases discussion.
Bkmrk.
Black Lies Matter is a racist terrorist group that promotes the killing of innocent police officers!
Wait until the “media” bobbleheads start their “lone woof” BS.
HISTORY
Seven officers killed
Remembering the Haymarket Riot
May 4, 2016 By Evan Andrews
On the evening of May 4, 1886, some 2,000 union workers and anarchists gathered near Chicago’s Haymarket Square to protest police violence and rally for an eight-hour workday. When city police arrived to disperse the crowd, someone heaved a homemade bomb into their ranks, causing an explosion and a bloody riot that left seven officers and at least four civilians dead. While the identity of the bomber was never revealed, the tragedy triggered an early “red scare” that saw eight radical labor leaders arrested and convicted of murder in one of the most controversial trials of the 19th century.
