can someone provide a link to where they used the bomb made by the bad guys to kill the bad guys?

I have heard conflicting reports whether it was a bomb created by the police or the bad guy. Not that it matters, it's just out of curiosity.


Same question.

I suspect they detonated his own bomb to kill him as I have never seen the use of lethal explosIves anywhere on the force continuum. Although it is bad arse.

These were the chief's words:

"We saw no other option but to use our bomb robot and place a device on the extension for it to detonate where the suspect was."


I interpret that as THEY (the police) placed the bomb on the robot.

I'm honestly in shock at this week. First, a friend of mine is involved in the Alton Sterling shooting (Howie has been cleared...turns out he never fired his service weapon). Now, I can't get in touch with another buddy from HS that is Dallas PD. I'm legitimately sick to my stomach. For me, it's next to impossible to wrap my mind around the events of the last several days. My god.

I agree. But when I see "an eye for an eye" with the pig emoji retweeted by thousands of people, it's gonna make people take notice.


Yes, it will, and it should be addressed. Look, the contingent of race-baiting, no good POS black people is not insignificant, but neither is the continent of the same kind of white people. Neither speak for even 10% of the population, much less the entire race as a whole. That is the kind of shite I want to stop. No one is going to make any progress if we cannot separate stupid people from the entire race - white or black.

BLM hasn't gotten to the point of KKK violence is the difference; however, the Dallas events MAY change that. It may not. It's certainly something to be aware of and afraid of.

Sounded like he was unhappy with BLM that they weren't being forceful enough for his liking.

Yes he acted alone. But yes he also said he was sick of white cops killing black people. Yes he also specifically said MN and Baton Rouge. Does that remind you of a certain group??

I get it, you don't want to be associated with this dude. Just like I don't want to be associated with Dylan Roof, the KKK, the cop in MN, etc

The fact of the matter is he was a black man, upset with white cops, who did this during a BLM protest, and not a single protestor was killed. Cops only.

Again, context clues. It's not difficult to piece this together.

It's not though. Almost every black person on my facebook is taking up for at least some of what BLM is preaching. You can't say that for white people and the KKK's message.

These are college educated people, most of whom are professionals.


I have one who I graduated with and was very, very good friends with. She was not like this back in the day, but she made a post last night that was very "eye for an eye." She has wisely deleted it now, but I lost almost all respect for her with that post. She is actually a professor at an SEC school now.

affiliated? is there some membership fee for BLM?

he was more than likely "inspired" just like the Miami terrorist was not "affiliated" with ISIS, but sure as hell agreed with them
