Well the only way you can tell a good guy with a gun from a bad guy with a gun is by seeing who the barrel is pointed at.

I don't think it's about race at all, tbh. I'd feel the same way in my gut if all the cops who got shot WERE poor and "colored folk. "

They did this to a guy that was there earlier in the day before the shooting started. He wasn't even oresent anymore and went to the police to clear it up the moment he heard he was being blamed.

Maybe a trial might have been the better way to go. Because we're Americans and apparently supposed to at least pretend to be civilized and assume innocence until guilt proven.

But yeah youre probly right. Like, if you hit your dog a bunch it'll start biting anything that resembles you (aka a human). These people are lashing out at "The Police".
well my general point is that the individual and the badge are in tension. Jim the Cop is indeed an individual, but for the average person they see him as the Cop who is incidentally named Jim.

they perhaps should see him as an individual, but that's in tension with the fundamental fact that he's supposed to be this uniformed, depersonalized authority figure.

I know I'm supposed to like it when the cops get killed for a change... well, not LIKE it because I deplore all violence, maybe accept it more because they're in the line of duty for a violent job. but there's something a lot more unsettling about it than I thought. Like I'd be less shaken up if they were innocent people who all got shot at a traffic stop. Must be something from my childhood programming still that says "this isn't supposed to happen."
also that.

i'm also somewhat unsettled that a coordinated team of snipers decided to stage their own personal armageddon in my hometown.

but i'm still not convinced there was more than one guy though so :shrug:

I just got an idea for a DnD campaign. Where a race is treated like black people and the guards shoot crossbows at them on sight if they identify they're carrying a weapon legally at a routine toll booth stop.

We're talking in a thread about police shooting black people at traffic stops and protests going dreadfully violent and cops dying who were actually there to provide safety for everyone involved. Pretty sure everyone here agrees the system could use some work.

It isn't the police culture that is the problem. It's the poors and the blacks and the muslims and the terroists and the democrats and the millenials and trans people and :psyduck:

I was not saying it was Okay, quite the opposite. Just being honest about what I feel. It does have a lot to do with authority I'm sure, like the person suggested.

They weren't guilty of anything. They have inherently dangerous jobs. It comes with the territory. Their position exists to protect citizenry and take the bullets we don't and to provide order.

I'm gonna get a big depressed laugh if it turns out the shooter(s) were white nationalists.

dallas PD has a pretty good reputation from what i understand.

there might be some horrible skeletons in the closet that come popping out. but this sounds like pseudocommandos on a personal apocalypse about the world ending. there hasn't been much unrest in dallas compared to a lot of other cities.

though i would say some of the extreme rhetoric from some quarters of BLM that seemingly aims to drive a wedge between the black community and police in general is unhelpful and dangerous.
