At least one sniper in Dallas killed five police officers and wounded seven more in a coordinated attack that ended when police used a bomb to kill a shooter who told them he wanted to kill white officers, authorities said Friday.

The attack came during one of several protests across the United States against the killing of two black men by police this week, the latest in a long string of killings that gave rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Police described Thursday night's ambush as carefully planned and executed and said they had taken three people into custody before killing the fourth after a long standoff in a downtown garage.

Earlier the media said it was a suicide.

But I’m sure president Obama thinks this is not indicative of a wider racial problem, except only that this is an unfortunate response to white racism.

That man is inciting racial killing.

The media are either stupid and/or intentionally sensationalizing this situation - or both.

"Bomb" prolly = flash/bang grenade.

Police used bomb in civilian situation.

They didn't have a bomb, they were attempting to detonate a bomb the perp had.

Just wondering about big media’s choice of words.

Today it is a ‘sniper’. Last time or two it was a ‘gunman’.

Gotta be an agenda in there somewhere...

No, A claymore type weapon is not a weapon of opportunity, rather it requires careful set up and deliberate detonation. Hand grenade, anti pursuit munition etc are weapons of opportunity. Probably used a flash bang or a frag grenade.

Police used a bomb????

Are they talking about a grenade?

Do the Dallas police commonly carry grenades around, especially since this was a fast moving situation?

And have the police ever used GRENADES against targets?

Not smoke grenades or flash bangs, but something that could be called a bomb?!!!

Police use a ‘bomb’ - muslim terrorists use an ‘explosive device’.

Precursor to tagging the police dept a terrorist organization. Just wait.

What that chump says publicly, is meaningless. Privately, he is probably doing a victory dance.

I am curious to know if the shooters are Dallas area men or did they come from somewhere else to attack Dallas. I have heard that it was a pre planned attack but the protest was only planned 24 hours before.
Did the planners of the protest also plan the attack?

I saw how effective they were against the VC. You are correct that they are mostly a perimeter defense weapon but they are Not that hard to set up

Quite possibly, as it is Rooters and the Associated Presstitites, however it is declarative in the first sentence that the police "bomb" killed the suspect.

I guess the first sentence makes it even more suspicious.

Possibly the "bomb" was intended to incapacitate, not kill.

I want to know who they were working for. As soon as that dark SUV pulled up, turned on its lashing lights and the driver jumped out and started spraying bullets they had a tag # to run unless it was stolen. If not they should have know some of the puzzle right then. I want to know if these guys were professionals, belonged to the New Black Panthers and who and how the attack was coordinated. The guy moved about like he had some form of military training. Never have we had so many of these mass shootings and I think many of them are being coordinated by someone in DC to convince the public that the 2nd Amendment needs to be repealed. Obama is the all-spark (with the help of the UN, the NWO eliteists, and Soros) that created all the social tension we are now experiencing and they will be the benefactors of the chaos that ensues. I hope the fires in Hell are being readied for some deep frying’

Wait. The white man has thrown trillions of dollars into the ghetto because, why do we do this?

Anyway, with all the entitlement programs available to blacks, this guy still blames whites? For what? Because he has to pay retail for gasoline?
