isnt any kind of fight when armed police shoot a black guy without a weapon in his hand
is just murder
how many blacks have to die like this before they are justified shooting back
according to US constitution they are perfectly justified
Sure ok, so lets just all take the law into our own hands right? What could possibly go wrong? Oh , and this nutjub did indicate he did not want to just kill cops, but all whites. I'm white, but as far as I'm concerned I should be exempt to their racism because well I'm Eastern European, so my ancestors DIDN'T have any colonies in Africa, let alone being involved in the slave trade
Sorry, but I have no sympathy, and if I were a black man, I would feel ashamed, and if they do not, well clearly its on them. (phrase removed)

and you want to execute those responsible for killing cops
what about the cops who murder blacks
I never said I wanted them executed, again I was sorry that they were not taken alive the f'ing cowards. Plus again how can *I* feel sorry for them if they are shooting everyone, especially in the back? They could have had the balls to at least go up to a cop face-to-face, but no.... so... Again, why should I not side with the cops?
Again, I do not see how this action helps them out and I do not see how the black community is benefiting from this idiocy? I would think they would have the good sense to denounce what has happened, if they have not, well then I guess they are showing their true colors then?
The roots of this run deep in U. S. history, back until 1619 at least. (Indeed, when I attended a white school in Virginia under Jim Crow, 1619 was called the "Red Letter Year," a most revealing misnomer. I submit that "Red Stained Year" would have been a more appropriate term.
To quote Faulkner, “The past is never dead. It's not even past.” As long as the United States buries its head to hide from its past, there will be no deliverance.
I'm going to commend this post by a blogger whose nom de blog is Thoreau to your attention. Then I'll shut up, because, as a Southern boy who grew up under Jim Crow and someone whose training was in U. S. Southern history, this topic pushes too many of my buttons for me to trust myself to remain collected.
Being a white cracker in a oreo world. I can tell you that when rat packed. Eastern european roots don't mean a thing.
Walk the streets and find out for yourself. You will be in for a shock.

Fine, but that was white-on-white killing - and I'm not Bosnian.
It was one negro United States army veteran in Dallas doing the shooting of the police officers!! Unfortunately, violence only begets more violence, so many more killings are on the way!! I have run across 2 articles that clearly tell the essence of what caused this tragic event, in my view. In my 72 years I have been attacked by criminals and I have been attacked by police officers; humans take all kinds of creeds to live by!! I have had dealings with good police officers and also good dealings with criminals; because if you look you can even find some good in bad people!! Two wrongs do not make a right and killing innocent people is never justified!! Article one below was written by a negro newspaper reporter and article two was written by an arrow maker!! I hope that you find them interesting!!

Sadly the people suffer because the unelected dictators abuse their positions. Much like the former Soviet Bloc and modern day China.
