Merciful Christ ... if this video below is to be believed (i.e., it actually did just happen now) here's a black guy jumping out of a truck with a semi-automatic and simply unloading it into two cops and hoping back into the truck ... I mean, for dozens of reasons I hope this isn't legit.

A bunch of lip service will be paid to it, and no one will do anything to correct the problem.

It seems to be ... I have that page open with the video there still open and I'm trying to figure out how to extract it.

It seemed a little strange to be taken at face value as real ... perhaps it's removal reflects it not being so. I hope so.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Rumor is the DART officers who were shot had weapons on them. Might've spooked the shooter. Maybe he shot first to protect himself.

10 down. 3 dead. 3 critical. 2 in surgery. Per DPD. Fuck.

Two snipers. Ten police shot. 3 dead.

Hearing 10 cops shot, 3 dead, 3 critical

I've watched none of the vids posted. My wife told me about the two latest incidences of cops shooting citizens.

I'm going to pass judgement anyway. We have too many fucking cops driving around harassing citizens in an effort to raise money for failing municipalities by stopping people for petty shit and then it escalates from there. Our communities have too many officers trying to justify their salaries by harassing citizens, serve and protect my fucking ass. The US police state is alive and well in every locale. It's makes me fucking sick.

There's probably a better time to raise those valid point ... though I will mention that WGN had somebody on during the 5pm hour that if I heard correctly was from the ACLU that, among other things, asked a pretty fair questions that was more or less 'why is a person being pulled over for a broken taillight in the first place'? He was advocating a reduction of superfluous (my word, not his) interactions between the police and the citizenry, which certainly seems to be an idea with some merit behind it.

I would then suggest that you should watch the videos. Everybody involved ... cop, citizen, eyewitness ... are people just like you and me. It's not to understand one side or the other, it's to witness what's going on without anyone else having to tell you or fill in the blanks, and THEN one can begin to consider the different facets of the situation as a stand-alone issue as well as something part and parcel of a larger concern.

This will only increase the level of antipathy. Unfortunately this will be celebrated in certain areas. Others will use it as a justification for police actions. In the end everyone will lose.

Completely agree.

Wagons will be circled and the public will be treated worse.

And for the record, I condemn the killing and hurting of any innocent out there regardless of what you believe in.

Agreed. Blood for blood solves nothing, it just perpetuates the problem.

For example ... does anyone remember Walter Scott? Have you thought about him prior to reading his name just now? I'm guessing not ... I had to be reminded too.

No matter the circumstances, it's a sorry state of affairs when citizens become afraid of the 'state'. It's even more sorry when the 'state' becomes your local community.

I hope that this won't be politicized.
