Said they are not ruling out terrorism (of the usual flavor)

It is definitely a terrorist attack. Terrorism doesn't have to mean Muslim.....

It is absolutely terrorism

the use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims.

I agree. This is a classic definition of terrorism... whether domestic or not.

From the Wikipedia
quote:
Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is defined as the use or threatened use of violence (terror) in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim
Yeah they don't say it has to be Muslims, but you can tell from their tone of voice that they really mean Muslims.

I'm starting to wonder if the suspects are talking and sharing their motive, but it's not what the powers to be want out there...for example if they're screaming frick whitey and frick da police I doubt that would get released

Couldn't it just be retribution?

Retribution by different people in a different city?

Too many people involved for it not to get leaked if true.

Violence for a political goal is hardly retribution.
Going after a specific entity for a cause is the exact same as any hatred group in the world

What's the political gain? If I want to kill cops because they killed blacks, that's not terrorism.

Usually the terrorist of Muslim variety don't get taken alive.

What does that have to do with anything?

BLM is a damn terrorist organization

Because law enforcement as a whole is one entity.
The attacks are specifically designated for law enforcement. The shooters went to the protest in Dallas to specifically shoot officers.
This isn't that tough to comprehend.

Using violence to create fear and undermine the stability your political opponents.
I mean it's already been defined in this thread. So what political goal was this attempting to achieve? I'm not saying there isn't one. I just haven't heard what it could be. For all we know, some angry people in Dallas wanted retribution for what happened to the black men in LA and MN.

I choose to believe these were blacks set on redemption just like Salmon chooses to believe those cops rode out to NBR with killing on their brains
