Two snipers shoot 11 police officers and leave bombs all over the place during Dallas protests

Two snipers have shot 11 police officers - killing at least four - and may have planted a bomb in downtown Dallas.

The two gunmen opened fire from 'elevated positions', picking off officers 'ambush style' as they manned a protest over the deaths of two black men, police chief David Brown said.

A gruesome video shows a heroic policeman taking on one of gunmen, but being gunned down by the shooter before being shot again execution-style, from point-blank range.

Both suspects have been caught and taken into custody, with one detained following a shootout with police.

As they were detained, they are said to have told officers: 'The end is coming... and there are bombs all over the place.'

Officers found a suspicious package near where one of the gunmen was caught and a bomb squad are dealing with it.

Police said two people are being questioned after they were spotted speeding away from the scene of the shooting in a black Mercedes. An officer saw one of the pair hurriedly putting a camouflage bag in the back of the car before driving off 'at a high rate of speed'.

Another man, named as Mark Hughes, was pictured walking through Dallas with what appeared to be an assault rifle. He turned himself into police after cops made a public appeal and his family said he was an innocent bystander.

Four police officers have died and as many as three others are in a critical condition. A member of the public was also shot.

'Our worst nightmare has happened,' Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said. 'It is a heartbreaking moment for the city of Dallas.'

>> You might notice this is the 7/7 anniversary, and it is a new moon.

And with a pending gun-control vote in Congress.. What convenient timing!

Everyone is torqued off, everyone is ready to do whatever needs to be done, but don’t go to the mattresses yet.

You can be sure of this: when Trump gets to the White House, he’s going to ‘take care of all family business’, we can depend on that.

The most powerful weapon you have is your mind, and what you allow to fill that mind, righteous outrage is good, the best advice is what you’ve seen many times here on FR, which is ‘keep your powder dry’.

Like any dictatorship, the federal fascist regime will overreach, just like the British tried to do at Lexington and Concord. And when they do, We The People will be ready.

Believe that.

I read an article in the Daily Mail and down in the article there is an image of her with a caption “Girlfriend of man shot by Police speaks at rally in St. Paul”.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3679189/Woman-live-streamed-boyfriend-shot-dead-Minnesota-cop-sobs-police-killing-daughter.html

I also saw another article an image of her speaking at a vigil at the school he worked at this one she is giving the black power sign while speaking with a caption where she said black men were being assassinated.
She seems so organized for someone whose partner just died 18 hrs or so earlier.

Damn right, this was expected absolutely. All last year here on Freep we have been saying to expect in 2016 the Washington Caliphate to incite a civil war, rebellion, so Ayatollah Barry can declare martial law, and heeeeeree we go.

Obama, Hillary and Lynch are to blame. The PERPS operate in a culture where these fake leaders give legitimacy to these thugs.

Remember the shooter in Ferguson, sniping into the crowd?

Kakistocracy. Big time.

Still hearing lots of sirens. I leave work at 6:30am.

Think i’ll take the backroads instead of driving through the jungle this morning.

Something’s going on, that’s for sure. TTYL

Trump’s statement needs to be very presidential and speak over the media’s and 0bama’s head, which should not be hard.
