Editorial: Dallas must wake from this nightmare united
dallasnews.com ^ | July 8, 2016 | staff

Our hearts are broken.

For the dead and wounded Dallas officers.

For their loved ones, friends and colleagues.

And for the Dallas Police Department, which has often gotten it right in this ugly time of national tensions between law enforcement and their African-Americans constituents.

A peaceful protest in downtown Dallas on Thursday night, planned to mark police shootings in other cities, morphed into a horrific sniper ambush on the men and women sworn to protect them.

These were police officers who had earlier posed for photos with the demonstrators, shaken their hands and provided security for their rally. Throughout the evening, mutual respect was visible between the two groups.

These were the police officers who, when shooting broke out from high above them, tried to make sure protesters got out of harm's way.

Kinda hard to emerge united when big ethnic and religious groups are threatening to kill other groups.

A peaceful protest in downtown Dallas on Thursday night...that was used by the organizers to ambush the police.

I noticed that the MSM, especially CNN, were making a point that this was a PEACEFUL protest. I guess if yo urepeat a lie long enough, the sheeple will believe it.

Exactly right. You want to see BLMs sentiment on the matter?

They are having an antipolice rally in downtown St. Louis at 5 pm CST.

No one should be under any allusions, these people want all police dead, preferably all the white ones.

And if some other crackers bite it, thats a bonus.

It wasn’t a “peaceful protest.” The sniper was a part of it.

I can’t find the sentence fragment that follows your “...” anywhere in the article. Am I missing out where the DMN thinks the organizers ambushed the police? Or are you fabricating a quote?

I saw the videos, both news and people on the street. People were walking peacefully. Everything was cool then suddenly shots rang out and people ran everywhere. It would have ended well had this man not done what he did.

Obama’s plan to place the country under martial law prior to the November election is well under way.

There will be cop massacres periodically, interspersed with Alahwahoo Yackbar killings of innocent men, women and children, and rushes of Drug Lords across the Southern Border while the Border Patrol is ordered to stand down.

Let the NRA man up and organize committees of safety in every county in the nation. No martial law. No Obama Imperium.

Let the Constitution rule.We will vote in November and we will vote overwhelmingly for Trump.

America has had enough of Liberal Fascism from the likes of Hillary Clinton, Obama and their running dogs.

Imagine when Dallas was once a conservative city. When did that end? With the assassination of 1963 or later?

Actually, one gets the feeling that they want all White people dead.

Are we headed down the dark alley of Civil War?

No matter how much violence, people, especially in the North, still like Mrs. Bill and her popular candidacy.

The sheeple will believe nearly anything coming from the mouth of a popular liberal.

I no longer pay any attention to the DMN editorial writers.

Much like sports talk radio, they argue from both sides of the argument, trying to drum up clicks. Compare the editorials from the recent publicized police shootings and this editorial.

Once in a great while they happen to say something right. Most of the time they only see things from their barely-out-of-college progressive viewpoint.

A truly useless organization that is slowly dying.

Threatening? Are you daft? The murder of white cops is more than just a threat.
