Numerous officers not moving. Looked like pools of blood near the officers bodies.

I’m no expert but the shooter seemed comfortable with his weapon and shooting someone up close without a second thought.

Military training?

The National Guard might help the police by bringing in a platoon or company of MP’s. Secure the scene. Check ID’s of building occupants that might need to get into their living quarters, say to retrieve pets or the like.

DPD has several Lenco Bearcats and one MRAP, the latter doesn’t ever get deployed because DPD knows that the MRAP costs stupid amounts of money to run and breaks down a lot. Dallas SD has at least one and I think two MRAPs and nothing smaller for armored vehicles. DSD hasn’t figured out why the MRAPs they got for free aren’t a great deal, at least not yet.

Maybe ours, maybe ISIS training.

Discouraging to say the least. Oh and the FB posts are just crazy right now. You understand, you’ve been there too.

This all happened about 3 or 4 blocks from where John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

He was firing from the hip, military training generally frowns on that. Military training is possible but civilian paintballer, videogamer, etc., is also possible.

The Chief is speculating coordination between shooters and marchers.
*************************
Common sense. BLM protesters are anti-police. Police were protecting them on their march (where they kept repeating the lie of “hands up don’t shoot”). When the march was about at its end, the snipers opened fire on the police.

True.

KDFW saying suspect shot himself. Suicide.

Heck no. I rarely if ever go on facebook. I had a FB account for three weeks. It got crazy, and I closed it out.

Turns out most of the people you haven't heard from for 25 years are people you don't want to hear from. There are good reasons you haven't heard from them.

More likely reporter cluelessness. DPD and DSD both have armored trucks of various sizes.

I thought of JFK when I heard “Snipers” and “Dallas.”

That event pretty much defined the city to me. Until this...

Not unexpected. Three guesses as to ethnicity, first two don’t count.

Thanks. Did you see my ‘come and take it’ story? :)

Yeah, dirty cowards. Somewhere that muzzie sob is smiling.

If that's true, expect an excrement-storm of misinformation, spin, and propaganda to hit like a hurricane tomorrow.

Expect photo-shopped pictures to make the police look bad. Expect phony "witnesses."

Expect the President to be stirring the pot. Hillary will probably lay low. Trump should play this low and slow until hard facts emerge.
