Woman live-streams aftermath of fatal officer-involved shooting

[smilesammich 10,727]

There's the odd chance you can run into this guy. Is there a space on the board for him?

well my dear, i think he'd fall under culture of violence and dependency. considering you're using one murderer to justify others, thanks for playing!

I would say to be very cautious on the racial motivation of the terrorist. So far, I have not heard of the race of the shooter, but the chief has made comments such as ''they wanted to kill white people'' and they were ''angry about BLM movement''. He didn't say that the shooter wanted to ''further the cause of BLM''. I just found his careful wording unusual. Around the time of these shootings, social media was on fire. I'm referring to comments coming from white supremacist groups or white supremacist individuals who made claims of wanting to start a race war by intentionally shooting at white cops. This was further compounded when the police and media wrongly highlighted an African American man who was legally carrying a weapon last night. Immediately everyone assumed a great deal about the case, without facts. Racism is an insidious thing, but there are individuals who would do a lot in an attempt to start something no matter what race they are.

In the case of the officer, friends both white and black had disturbing encounters. In the case of the other officers, I believe they had numerous complaints against them previously. Police forces would do well to root out bad apples here. The community would support that.

I think this has been partially answered.

The man who shot 12 police officers, killing five, at a Black Lives Matter protest in downtown Dallas on Thursday night has been named as Micah Xavier Johnson, a 25-year-old with no criminal history or ties to terror groups.

Johnson, from Mesquite, Texas, a 20 minute drive from Dallas, reportedly told law enforcement that he was a US Army Veteran, and claimed to have acted alone, countering reports that as many as four gunmen were involved in the massacre.

'The suspect said he was upset about Black Lives Matter. He said he was upset about the recent police shootings of black suspects. He said he was upset at white people. The suspect stated he wanted to kill white people, especially white officers,' Dallas Police Chief David Brown revealed at a 7:30am press conference.

It is interesting how the police ended the situation basically by blowing him up with an explosive device.

Yet that's the immediate narrative whenever a white cop kills a black guy.

Actually the video alone is quite meaningless as to whether the shooting was justified or not anyway. I was surprised at her seemingly calmish demeanor as her boyfriend died next to her, though. The video was quite brutal.

Two things:

1. The cop still had his gun pointed at them while the BF bled out in the car. I'd wager she really didn't have a choice. Had she'd made any other movements or even raised her voice, he might have shot her as well. At that point, it was about survival and making sure she stayed alive for her daughter's sake.

2. This is what it's like to grow up here in America. A reality we all have to be burdened with when dealing with the police, no matter how much we comply, there's always going to be a chance we are going to be targeted. Every woke black person is fully aware of it and when it happens, you either die on your knees trying to comply or you die "resisting" trying to protect yourself.

It appears now that he was indeed ex-military and has social media links to black militia nationalist groups who were ironically making similar statements as the white nationalists were making last night. This type of evil works both ways no matter what 'side' you're on it seems. I did find their method of taking him out very unique and thought one person on the news said this kind of action is considered highly risky and hasn't been used since the early 80s. The thing that concerns me is that they are still not sure if he was indeed the only person involved. Given the fast nature of planning, I think there are more.

Without a doubt this is the case. She did what was needed to survive, but also was most likely experiencing shock. I will point out though several white people I spoke to about their encounter with him (simple traffic stops.. or stops for absolutely no reason whatsoever) always mentioned he was extremely trigger happy and belligerent. If their being white was a factor in him not pulling the trigger I don't know. But I have a feeling, that a person with this temperament, was at severe risk of shooting anyone that was an open-carrier. We can certainly make the assertion that potential prejudice was at play. Two persons (both white and black) never did figure out exactly why he had pulled them over in the first place.

I forgot about shock, that probably had a big play into it. But I'll go and say it. Yes being white plays a factor. Because killing a white person in the same way would have had more repercussions. It's one of the biggest reasons you don't see white people(who open carry and CC more than any other race) on the news constantly getting shot by trigger happy cops. It might happen as an exception, but you'd be hard pressed to find two within a 24 hour time frame in two different places.

There might be more out there. And I feel for any black person registered with a firearm at this point living in Dallas...

When I first saw the video of Castile in the car with his GF, my initial reaction was that the cops made a grave mistake. Of course, that was before more details started rolling in. I know some here will really not like this, but just saw it this morning:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/07/08/confirmed-philando-castile-was-an-armed-robbery-suspect-false-media-narrative-now-driving-cop-killings/

In a word, Castile matched the description of a thug who had robbed a store days prior just a few blocks away, as did his car. So when the police approached the vehicle, it WASN'T for a busted tail light, as the woman claimed on the video.

Here's hoping more details come out, as well as police video, that can Un-muddy the waters.

One other thing that I mentioned to a guy I was talking to right after the event is the calmness of the woman taking the video. Too calm. Almost as if it were expected, a staged thing. I have been around guns all my life, but no way I would have been able to pull out a cell phone, start up a video, and stream it live to FB while someone lay bleeding next to me after being shot in front of me. I'd be a basket case, or so in shock as to not be able to move.

Something is starting to smell of fish nearby...

How dare, you honestly.

I know all I needed to know from the video. Based on other cases of accused police brutality, we know that 100% of the original stories are true (e.g. hands up don't shoot). I'm sure his girlfriend was absolutely and dead on accurate in her portrayal of what happened. This idea you have of waiting for more facts has no place in this discussion. I'm mad damn it and I don't want any other information to come in that undermines the legitimacy of my rage.

Keep this up, and you'll be the next invitee to the BLM folks whose only goal in life is to create peace for everyone.

step one, find a way to dehumanize or blame the victim..

took yall a while this time around, but never fear there is always a way to blame the dead.

[Voice of Reason 10,298]

No one is trying to dehumanize the victims, when they are truly victims. Sometimes, they are perpetrators, and you can't seem to deal with it. It's almost as if you want everyone who gets shot to be a victim. But it just isn't the norm.
