Anyone from any organization calling me and asking questions that's none of their damn business gets hung up on.

POTUS wrote:We flood communities with so many guns that it is easier for a teenager to buy a Glock than get his hands on a computer, or even a book.
By "we" does he mean his administration and all the other criminals on the streets?

Am I the only one a little unsettled by the fact that the PD used a bomb against the guy? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he got taken out and I mourn the officers lost, but this just rubs me wrong.
Not in the least after seeing him shoot a police officer in the back.

I listened to the mayor and police chief briefing on the way to work and the fact that an explosive device was used to take out the shooter did surprise me. In fact, I did have some reservations about it. Then I saw the video of him shooting the police officer in the back. After that I don't care what they had to do to bring him down.

One man who was marching during the protest, Mark Hughes, was incorrectly identified by police as a “person of interest” in the shooting, and his photo was distributed on Twitter by the department. Hughes was open carrying a rifle, which is legal in Texas, to exercise his Second Amendment rights, but he turned over the gun to a police officer after the shooting began so he would not be mistaken as a suspect. That moment was caught on video:
Probably a smart move on his part.
a VERY smart move, he was supposedly only questioned for 30 minutes then released.
Wonder how long it will take him to get his rifle back?

Re: Shots fired at BLM protest in Dallas

I understand the LEO's need to keep aspects of the suspects and ongoing investigation to themselves right now - but I think that the public needs to be told whether or not there are shooters still at large.

I knew he worked at Love Field before, but didn't know he did foot stuff and didn't think he would have been anywhere near that last night.

Extreme sorrow and anger is what I'm feeling this morning.
Condolences to your friend's family and friends, as well as to all of the slain officers families.

I share your feelings of sorrow and anger, as well as sadness as to what our country is devolving into.
