Praying for all involved down there, what a horrible event! The backlash will be hell all around.

I told him there's nothing I can do about Dallas but I can let my local department know that I appreciate them and their service to the community. He thanked me, with that same quizzical look, as I left them on the counter and walked out. Small gesture but they know one resident gives a hoot.

good for you!!! We do get food gifts from time to time in the office from various businesses or people and they are very much appreciated.
We like free food, who doesn't. We like the support.

at least one of the shooters had military type training. this video shows one of the shootings from a distance and it sure looks like the guy wasn't your average thug.

warning, it shows a Officer being shot.

The video shows the slaying of one police officer who tried to ambush the shooter. The shooter realizes this and rather than cowering or committing suicide (typical of cowards) he fires at the officer to one side of the pillar/column the officer is behind but rushes him from the other side shooting him in the back point blank. This shooter obviously had training, knew how to react under adrenalin, and was prepared for a full gunfight, mentally and emotionally. Very few are prepared like that.

hmm....

"A gunman who served in the U.S. Army Reserve and said he was "upset at white people" was part of an attack in which five Dallas police officers were killed and another seven were wounded, authorities said on Friday.

The attack ended hours later when police used a robot carrying a bomb to kill the shooter, theDallas police chief said."

"The suspect said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated that he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers."

Before he does, though, he'll try to spin in his "gun control" retoric, for as far as that will go. Both he and the AG attempted that today.

Regardless of any other feelings I might have, I do have a lot of respect for the "office" of a LEO, and what for what that office stands. To gun down those fulfilling that office and those duties is just unacceptable, and those caught doing so deserve the ultimate punishment.

Thankfully, this is Texas, where they (thugs/perps) might just get it in short order!
