According to Dallas police, protesters helped capture the shooters.

And cops helped shuttle protesters to safety during the attack.

One of the 1st videos showed people helping a lady with a stroller get to cover.Those are the people that give the rest of us hope.

Yesterday I saw white people mourning black victims. Last night I saw black people mourning slain officers. The majority of us are decent people.

You mean you saw people acting how a civilized society should? Big fricking deal.

So you mean to tell me when she gets real with bullets and not just signs and vandalism, that where the line is drawn.

Truth.

Something for everyone to keep in mind, despite what social media would lead one time believe.

Yes I agree that most people are good folks just trying to get through life. I also think as a whole we are a much better country right now than we have been in a long time. Too bad certain people in our government (both conservative and especially liberals) have done way too much damage in the last few years and fanning the flames of racial issues.

And then there is of course the 24 hour news station and the social media aspect that magnifies every problem X 1,000 to gain viewers/hits by preying on fear and emotions.

We are. I mean, my wife and I go to church with at least 15 other interracial married couples, and no one bats and eye. Things would have to deteriorate far past 1960s levels to convince me some widespread "race war" bullshite actually breaks out irl. Let's just everyone take a fricking breath

Well said. Completely agree.

Somewhere there's a Chris Rock joke about a certain group of people always wanting credit for things they're supposed to do that would get me banned if I posted it.

In a chaotic time rife with anxiety, violence, and division, random acts of civility remind us of our humanity. They remind us that the world is not as terrible as it is portrayed to be. What unites us is still stronger than the forces intent on pitting us against one-another.

We all know what he said, and it's true. But let's pretend that it's strictly a racial thing. Trash comes in all colors. The evil people in this world want us divided. And personally, I'm not gonna let those motherfrickers have their way.

It's not all black people, and anyone with half a brain knows that. We work alongside decent, hardworking black folks every day.

The problem is that these racial fomentors come in and try to get them riled up and threaten cops and "white folks". They try to divide us along racial lines when if anything, the lines should be drawn along the lines of decent people who are trying to provide for their families, and those who are simply leeches on society.

I'd stand with a hard working black man before I'd stand beside some little white SJW bitch.
