2 Cops shot in Dallas at protest

[Aeluron Lightsong]

When was the last time you let logic within touching distance of your brain?

When Hillary Clinton stopped corrupting him ;p

[Fadeslol]

It's probably a good idea to just disarm anyway. Before someone says "But, 'muh rights" they should ask themselves: are you willing to get shot and killed over it?

Well, yes i am to defend our rights. Freedom over Security. This is America. We are allowed to carry a gun. If police can't understand that, and most do understand we can, quit being an officer or move to another country and become a officer there.

Where is the proof to this?

The "proof" is always in the reconstructed reality of conservatives - it's obvious when most of the threads here that are basically about conspiracies and witch hunts are 99% by conservative leaning posters.

[Sliske]

It's the blatant hypocrisy that gets me. What if large protests chanted about something like basically outright slaughtering muslims in general (perhaps due to terrorist attacks committed by individuals of that fate), and we then had a similar event as this one, were loonies killed muslims en masse using sniper rifles, more or less parroting the same message? How many of those that now claim BLM has nothing to do with this, would defend the protesters, claim that they were generally peaceful and had nothing to do with the attack, nor with creating the situation at hand?

Not that it even matters if they caused the shootings or not.

Tweeting en mass and chanting "kill all cops" while marching down the street is ground enough to be arrested. Or is threatening people with death now legal in the USA?

Once again. Once a fucking gain, we have a group of morons riling up a race war, an 'us vs them' scenario.

What do you think every single sheriff and police chief is going to do today? They're going to go to everyone they are in charge off, and order them to don't take risks, to be indiscriminate, to basically treat their suspects as inmates in a max security prison. This happens every single time, some black guy charges cops and dies, a bunch of teenagers and 20 year olds come out and shout "kill all cops" and we get a spree of deaths.

Good job, BLM and associates. As I said earlier in this thread, MLK is rolling in his grave. Guy worked his whole life to end segregation, to bring people together, yet these movements dedicate their lives to re-segregating and worse, outright guerrilla warfare.

Have we learned nothing from the KKK and Islamic terrorism? When people start advocating murder, chanting it in streets, thats a warning sign, folks.

Aww but don't worry, the leader of the BLM movement tweeted out that he doesn't condone violence or whatever, guess we should just brush it aside now.

Wasn't a white guy killing cops cause they gave him a speeding ticket. Wasn't a black guy killing cops cause he thought he was in a new Occulus rift game. It was a BLM activist, said so himself, with the goal of killing white people, preferably white cops.

A sticks a stick, folks.

3 tours in Iraq... Black lives matter murdered a fucking war hero.

Barack Obama cares about people of color and the lgbtq community. He does not care about whites. He does not care about the police. And he certainly does not care for the military.

What a vile man. This outrage is partially on him.

The culprit is also a veteran. Or he cosplaying as one.

Again left wing statist nutters blame inanimate objects for violent behavior. Guns in the US used to be much easier to obtain, yet we didn't have these problems. Switzerland has a very high rate of gun ownership, yet does not have these issues. Brazil has very strict gun ownership laws, yet suffers extremely high rates of violent crime. Left wing and islamofascist ideology are to blame for the majority of mass shooting deaths in the US, not guns. As for your denigration of the value of personal freedom, I'm not at all surprised. Statist ideology is on the rise and useful idiots parrot destruction of both our first and second amendments in the name of so called "social justice".

Leftwing and islamofascist ideology

islamofascist

First, what the hell does that even mean?

Second, what part of Islam has to do with violent crime in the US? We so-called Christians are pretty damn good at killing ourselves, thank you very much.

[Rooflesstoofless]

You do realize you are completely missing the point? Of which carrying guns work against, rather than for the case of self-defense against ambush scenarios?

But sure, aside from this particular situation, every mass shooter puts a neon signboard up on their foreheads warning everyone in advance.

Um, guns do work on a daily basis for protection purposes. Attempting to sweep that under the rug because of the tactics used to take on a police force is disingenuous at best.

[Tinykong]

Seems like a pretty futile and pointless exercise to get shot on the side of the road just to make a point. But, to each their own.

[Skroe]

But mostly on conservatives who forced the situation this far with their racism.

No mostly on the extremists on the right, and the left on this cause and many many others who have utterly disgraced the notion of compromise and cooperation between parties that disagree in good faith. Everything is a wedge issue. Everything is a fucking nuclear war. Everyone deluded themselves into thinking everybody else is unreasonable.

Black lives matter, the nra, the tea party, Bernie motherfuckinf sanders and his muppet brigade... And so many others all utterly lack one atom of patriotism in their being. Want to take our country back? Enthusiastic center right and center left moderates need to stop letting these extremists hijack every fucking issue. We are one family. We talk with calm voices. This rage people feel about police violence or 'the banks' or whatever else is un-American.

You know something's true when it's supported by Tweets and YouTube videos.

Inb4 they start blaming video games like CoD, not that I care about that crappy game though.

When was the last time you let logic within touching distance of your brain?

Its kindof a shame. Skroe is normally one the few sane right-wingers on these boards amongst all the moonbats and nutjobs. But it doesn't seem like it right now.

Well, i can tell you both my cousins are Police Officers and one of them was in the 82 Airborne. Even though i live in NJ with some of the unconstitutional gun laws, if they approach a car and someone has a gun, they don't just overreact to the situation. Yes you don't let your guard down but you don't treat people like shit.

[Sliske]

In the meantime, Trump constantly advocates for violence against his critics and institutional racism, but it's not his fault whenever it happens?

Of course it is. When you're a public figure, you have the responsibility of watching what you say. People are impressionable. If a people start shooting mexicans and muslims tomorrow and give "We support trump and want to help him" as their reason, then yeah, its definitely his fault.

How hard is it to live your life without repeatedly and with increasing frequency advocating for the deaths of entire ethnicities? It must be fucking hard, because in the past couple years i've had Feminists shouting #KillAllMen, BLM shouting Kill All Cops, Kill All Whites etc. I guess for some people, the urge to not genocide is just too much, OOPS IM WALKING DOWN THE STREET CHANTING KILL ALL COPS, my bad, I did it again!

[stomination]

The culprit is also a veteran. Or he cosplaying as one.

He was in the reserves and was learning carpentry and masonry. I don't think he ever saw a warzone correct me on this part if we find out otherwise.

prbly let a little anger out. He really likes vets in wars.

Don't worry, Jesse Jackson is blaming Trump for the shooting.

You see, here's the wonderful thing about cause and effect - if conservatives weren't racist, then there wouldn't be BLM running around trying to fight back against it.

I am sorry, what!?

Funny coming from the guy who practically blames every negative thing on conservatives.

I'm sure thousands of people are stopped by police every day and 99% (or more) of those stops are without incident.

My point was that even if you aren't legally obligated to tell a cop you are armed, or submit to being disarmed...it's probably a good idea to do so. Not disarming is going to make the cop probably agitated and change their attitude (if it wasn't already bad before) and probably make them jumpy.

I would rather temporarily waive a right to carry to allow a traffic stop to be conducted peacefully and routinely, rather than assert my rights and potentially wind up getting shot to death.

Maybe it will be ruled justified, maybe not. Either way, I'd be dead.

Yea I saw that...

[sarahtasher]

Yeah, point taken : I'm not sure of the word in English for ''retired military personnel that did not saw action'', but in Canadian English, there is a disctinction between war veteran and veteran (Then again, a war veteran might be someone who was at Kandahar but who was cooking : it's a not a SEAL sniper, but it's a job)
