Angelz Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 My thoughts.... I truly believe that these 2 men were murdered by those police officers because they were black. I hope they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. Your job is to serve and protect the citizens not murder them!! I can understand why the shooter retaliated by shooting the Dallas police officers. I do not condone the killing of any human being. He made a bad decision in doing that act of violence. Senseless racial motivated murders. People need to get a grip on themselves. It's 2016 people, we should be above racism. ============================================================ 1st Death - Alton Sterling (37) Blane Salamoni, a four-year veteran, and Howie Lake II, a three-year veteran, both white men, were placed on leave in connection with the death. 2nd Death - Philando Castile (32) What I find totally unacceptable is he was shot in front of his 4 year old daughter!!! Officer Jeronimo Yanez and Officer Joseph Kauser have both been with the St. Anthony Police Department for four years and are both on administrative leave. This is a video of the dispatch call the officer made for reason to pull them over. Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton described last night's fatal police shooting of Philando Castile during a traffic stop as racism. Dallas Shooter - Micah Xavier Johnson (25) He was trained and served in the Army Reserve as a carpentry and masonry specialist. He was killed by police when they detonated a bomb delivered by robot. Victims in Dallas shooting: Officer Lorne Ahrens (48) Officer Michael J. Smith (55) Officer Michael Krol (40) Office Brent Thompson (43) Officer Patrick Zamarripa (32) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkrieg Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Good post, sadly what the Dallas shooter did was the only thing that would force this subject to be looked at seriously, even though i don't agree with this type of violence at all.

Dogger Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Just my opinion, BUT this is a heavy subject matter that has a lot of polarizing views and has the capability to drive additional tensions. I have my own personal opinions, but have not chosen to voice them here, as I don't think it's the appropriate place based on the context of what this site is used for, despite this being "General Discussion - Talk about Anything". Again, just my opinion. MadMo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted all the facts and gave an opinion of it. Everyone is free to post their opinion. Everyone is free to post what they want as well.
