Snipers Murder 5 Police Officers During Dallas Protest

Texas sniper slaughter

Quote:

Snipers shot and killed five police officers “ambush-style” during a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas Thursday night, according to Dallas police. At least six other police officers and one civilian were also injured in the deadliest day for police in the U.S. since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

Dallas Police Chief David Brown said early Friday three suspected snipers were in custody and police were still in negotiations with another suspect, who was being uncooperative and at times exchanging gunfire with officers in a parking garage.

Local media reported that the suspect involved in the standoff later died.

“He told negotiators that the end is coming, and he is going to hurt and kill more of us,” Brown said at a press conference earlier, noting the man had also claimed there were bombs around the structure. “We are being very careful in our tactics so that we don’t injure any of our officers in harm’s way.”

Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings added that downtown Dallas would still be considered “an active crime scene” going into Friday, and urged people to check the city’s news updates on which areas to avoid. The FAA also temporarily instituted a temporary flight restriction over the area.

This is home for me. Dallas is a great place with one of the most diverse and well regulated police forces in the country.

Also, saying this guy was a Sniper is a joke, his military experience was limited to being a carpenter. The most training this jackass had was at basic. Don't give him the credit of calling him a Sniper. He was a coward, he shot most of the officers in the back. I can only say that I wish they would have caught him alive and really showed him what "police brutality" is.

I think we're going to see a lot more robots in hazardous situations like this. It started with the bomb squad, now heavily armed suspects. Police are most likely to be injured in domestic violence calls, so a robot with a taser and tear gas would definitely be an option.

Not in my lifetime, I'm already 50. Some other people here, maybe. The next big thing will be small armed drones. Something about the size of a kitchen table, armed with a 50 caliber rifle. It lands, nails somebody about 1000 yards away, then flies off.

I don't know, something would have to be pretty heavy to withstand the kick of a 50 cal, especially if it isn't grounded. A drone would be better suited for small armor piercing rounds. Maybe even really small, something that could be easily flown through a office building. I could even see Tranq darts on a drone, take em peacefully so they don't rouse up the citizens who are now looking for any reason to be angry.
