DALLAS -- Dallas Police Chief David Brown has confirmed at least 10 police officers were shot and at least three were killed in an attack by two snipers in downtown Dallas at a protest of officer-involved shootings across the country.
"Tonight it appears that two snipers shot ten police officers from elevated positions during the protest/rally," Brown wrote in a statement. "Three officers are deceased, two are in surgery and three are in critical condition. An intensive search for suspects is currently underway. No suspects are in custody at this time. We ask that any citizen with information regarding the shootings tonight call 214-671-3482."
It remains an active-shooter situation. Police have asked everyone to get to safety and avoid downtown Dallas.

Quite a few people can play this game, and police are not the only potential targets at riots protests. This sort of thing could get very bad, very fast.

I am quite impressed with the Dallas area law enforcement officers' self-control in the wake of this assault. In all the investigations and arrests and interrogations nobody got hurt. And no potentially incendiary information has leaked.

On the radio 45 minutes ago, the announcer mentioned "well-organized" (or similar). Which makes me wonder if the planning had been going on for a while. We shall see.
Not sure which is worse - international terrorism or domestic terrorism.

Let's see if we can find where the money came from.
If it came as small donations from individuals in the US, then domestic.
If it came from overseas (including Soros and any of his 'domestic projects'), then 'foreign'.

When you are trying the Divide & Rule Strategy the long-term result is Balkanization....
The Latino First! Faction has been gaining ground lately, is this a symptom of flexing muscle in the coalition, against the establishment, or 'all of the above'? 48-hour rule time...

Media is spinning this down already.
Now a single shooter downed by a explosives detonation robot. Reportedly agitated about Lousiana and Minnesota shootings, which are getting fuller coverage. Name not released. BigO is riding gun control. Can't wait for the Hilarity/Biden speech changeup in Scranton.
Amazingly, two men and a woman, acting suspicious, survived apprehension (rt DRT). Some BLM walkers surrendered their weapons, without incident.

I'm surprised the WH staff was able to keep Omumbles (PBUH) from pointing out that the police acted stupidly and caused the whole problem.[/sarc off]
We're now starting on the shit storm that's coming because the lib progs plan to Balkanize us (ya know, the EVIL EMPIRE). PTUI!!

Besoeker's lengthy Breitbart piece is a liveblog, still updating. Here is the latest:
*** TOP UPDATES ***
• Five police officers killed, seven wounded in Dallas, Texas ambush attack
• One suspect killed, three in custody… Police: Potentially more
• Police: Suspect said he wanted to kill white people
• Black Lives Matter protesters celebrated and taunted officers after the attack
• Trump cancels rally: “We must restore law and order… Our nation has become too divided.”
There is a photo of a shooter on the ground who walked up to a policeman to shoot him, so it wasn't just elevated snipers. A Black Power organization I've never heard of claimed credit, for what that's worth, and even if true does not address the national/international question, though both Al Qaeda in Yemen and ISIS have called for locals to organize their own attackes using techniques presented in their glossy on-line magazines. One of the arrested suspects is female. A civilian who was shot is a black female, so either that was a miss or killing white people was not the only motivation.

So stupid asshole gets on tv talking about cops acting stupidly again and then immediately after, Police hit the ground. This is all of the democrat party.
All of it.
#28
The Democrats should know that words have consequences and all of that sewerage they were spewing (That's right, you TOO Mr. President) have escalated the narrative to multiple dead policemen and diminished incentive to enforce the law/get out of the patrol car for any reason.
SO, now that you have the freaking Jhinni out of the bottle BLM, DNC, Reverend Sharpton, President Obama, AG Lynch, what are you going to do to keep this from going like a lit match in brush in August?

The next pile of incendiary matter will be assembling in a few days in downtown Cleveland for the Republican National Convention. I will be taking a long vacation out of state.

I haven't started reading the commentariat yet, and may never, but I suspect I'm going to see the same pattern we did after 9/11: The Big Butt.
"Terrible thing about those cops, my shriveled heart goes out to their families BUTT understandable, because racism."
It being understood that everything before BUTT is just, as I think Mark Steyn called it, throat clearing. And maybe an extra paragraph blaming the NRA.
I know plenty of good folks in Dallas, and I would go so far as to say I'm annoyed.

This unconstitutional toying
Of kids who for kicks are destroying
The soul of our nation
Beyond reparation...
Is really becoming annoying.

Latst from Breotbart:
• Slain suspect identified as Micah Xavier Johnson, 25, a former Army Reservist
• Investigators change course, claim Johnson acted alone
Breitbart links to a Daily Beast piece that has more on Mr. Johnson, who served nine months at Bagram Air Force Base as a carpenter, and at some point developed a taste for Black Nationalist sentiments.

Two days ago a black man shot 4 people at random in Bristol, Tennessee. One dead, a female newspaper courier. The other 3, including one police officer, were not killed but one is in intensive care. The shooter reportedly said he was upset about police killing black people.

This recently highly visible black power group was at the corner of Main and Saint Paul Downtown Dallas most of this week. The above is the picture of the police assassin. They even had a hateful enlarged image of Obama as the Joker. But apparently one member responded to Obama's dog whistle. Their outfits resemble robes from Africa as in the above picture. Two weeks ago they were assembled at the same site as the attack last night.
Dallas Police and DART (Dallas Area Rapid Transit Police) work closely at the ambush site as it is in downtown Dallas where the transit system comes together as a major hub.
It is one block from the Kennedy Assassination Memorial.
Last night I was in the area and a lot of white, black and Latino cops were clearly grieving over the loss of their mostly white comrades. I told them to take care of each other for now, this is Texas, we will take care of the rest. Several black cops greatly appreciated the support coming from the white community, as one of them said a couple of times, "We appreciate your support." Cops are starving for support these days.
As a white male I walked through the transit area today and tried to look the mostly black Dallas citizens in the eye and most of them looked away. Dallas black community is more conservative than most major cities in the nation and I could tell they felt bad about this.
Obama and the other black extremists and their white MSM tools are the axis of evil. MSM gleefully has turned downtown Dallas into a bloody media circus. I walked up to one MSM tool and rubbed his bald head over and over telling him "This is for good luck for more joy you shit heads are clearly looking for down here." He didn't know how to respond to suddenly unexpected aggressiveness so the knuckle dragger just laughed until he could see I wasn't violating his space just for grins.
I work in downtown Dallas and I made a couple of these MSM clear their freak show setups that were blocking the side walk so people could get through. They got the message real quick that I didn't give a shit, and they got their asses off the damn side walk.
Last night the agitators started a war. And the war for them will be a hellish event.

My son was getting stuff for his boss in Anchorage today. Texted that there was a BLM demo down at Sears mall area in midtown. Told me to avoid area, but nothing on the news yet, so it may be peaceful.

As per #34, so the Bammer has put the US on the fast track of unilateral strategic or geopol retreat around the world while proclaiming he has kept the people united in out diversity.
A premise bought up on the "John Gibson" radiio show, as to how are "special courts" for African-Americans or Black-Americans may in time be set up, Fed-State subsidized and Fed-State guaranteed, where Blacks are arrested by Black LEOS-N-Only-Black-LEOS, + arraigned before all-Black Courts + Juries, is suppose to be a sample of US diversity.
MINORITY COURTS FOR MINORITIES, LGBT COURTS FOR LGBT'S, SHARIA COURTS FOR MUSLIMS, HINDU COURTS FOR HINDUS, ... ...@ETAL.
"SANCTUARY CITIES" BY SPECIFIC ETHNICITY, IDEO, SEXUALIZATION, ETC.
TO HAVE ALL THE ABOVE WHILE SOMEHOW NOT RAISING TAXES AND PREVENTING THE SOUTH [Other?] FROM BREAKING AWAY + RISING AGAIN???
Again, JOHN GIBSON RADIO SHOW = special treatment being called for Black/African-Americans by virtue of being Blsck/African-Americans + a minority of the US population in comparison to numbers of whites.
MARXIST-SECULARISTS WILL LEAD THE IMPOSITION OF SHARIA LAW INLCUDING PRO-ISLAMIC ACCULTURIZATION IN THE US LONG BEFORE THE BLACK BANNERS OF RADICAL ISLAM ARE FORCIBLY RAISED BY AK-47 ARMED JIHADIS OVER A BURNING WHITE HOUSE + WASHINGTON.

Over the last few day, here in LALA, I've seen some blacks dust off their dad's old BLM (Black Liberation Army) stuff, you know the fatigues with the black, yellow, red, and green patches and the black yellow, red, and green knit caps...and of course the walking sticks with the black, yellow, red, and green walking sticks
Seems the dog days of summer are going to get really INTERESTING.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Nine people were killed in a stampede at a party in central Ghana to mark the end of the Moslem holy month of Ramadan, a public official told news hounds on Thursday.
"We so far have nine people who are dead, six females and three males," said Nurudeen Hamidan, the head of the Asokore Mampong municipal assembly, in the city of Kumasi.
There was no immediate comment from the police in the city, which is 255 kilometres (160 miles) northwest of the capital, Accra.
But Hamidan said three bodies have been identified so far and six people were maimed, one of them critically, and were receiving treatment in hospital.
The party was organised on Wednesday at a community centre in the Asawase area of Kumasi as the climax to the Eid al-Fitr festival, which marks the end of a month of fasting and prayer.
Local member of parliament Mubarak Mohammed Muntaka said carnivals were often held to celebrate the occasion but in the past have been marked by festivities between youths.
Organisers had told police the carnival would end by 9:00 pm (2100 GMT) and a group, thought to number about 300, moved to the community centre, where a fight reportedly broke out, he added.
"In a bid for people to rush out... there was this stampede," said Muntaka, from President John Dramani Mahama's National Democratic Congress.
But Hamidan said there were conflicting reports about the cause of the tragedy and a security meeting had been called for Thursday afternoon to determine what happened.
"People are saying so many things. Some are saying that there was a lights out and the meter sparked and the sound of the meter made people agitated," he said.
"Others are saying that they finished the programme, they were leaving and there was a stampede along the way.
"As to what caused the actual stampede the security agencies are working to unravel what happened and we will take it on from there."

I'm trying to think of another religion where the holy days traditionally come with a body count.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
