Yet another police shooting. This time snipers attack police in Dallas TX murdering 5 and wounding 7. What can be done to stop this violence?

I am waiting to find out the names of the Shooters to get a clearer Idea of the Motivations..  Yes i have a couple of different scenarios in my head..  I want to know what one is the right one..

I don't think the names will tell about their motivations. It will be hasty to judge on a name alone. It will be their backgrounds that will be interesting in such matter. That will again mean you cannot base your idea initially and will have to wait for the investigations to be done. Lots of rumours will flow around like any other mass shooting we had. It's the background that will tell more. Let the investigators do their jobs before turning it into yet another political crusade.

Well if there names are abdul,  muhammad and hassan  then you can pretty well nail the motivation..

Hello A:

Lemme throw this scenario out there..  The cops have been declaring WAR on the black community for decades, and the black community is FIGHTING back..  I dunno what's so hard about this.

Well that is one of the scenarios.. that they are BLM activists..  

Hello my:

What can be done???  Simple..  MOST cops are GOOD guys, and there's a FEW BAD ones.  The GOOD cops COULD name the bad cops and RID their ranks of them..  But, they WON'T..  Until they do, we GOT, what we GOT..

The brotherhood in LE trumps civic duty most of the time.

Hard to prove a bad cop is a bad cop till caught in the act.

You are right. The police need to police themselves better.

Well it's texas guns are normal there.

Maybe if cops would stop shooting civilians it would help a great deal. I don't know the details of that particular incident but it wouldn't surprise me if it was a revenge attack because the cops shot someone when they shouldn't have.

That doesn't justify in shooting cops who had nothing to do with it. That would be like getting robbed and then taking your anger out on the "race" (white, black, or other) of people who robbed you. That wouldn't make much sense because basically the sniper said he just wanted to kill white cops and you can't say all white cops have bad intentions.

The person who did the shootings said his opinions were directly persuaded by social media, opinions like yours.

Hello m:

When war is declared, you shoot the combatants..

Thank you andy

Stepper... No radical Islam and the police force are not the same thing if they were we wouldn't even have the freedoms to walk up the street. Radical Islam wants everyone to have "no" freedoms... a little different from the police department in which a few bad cops seem to be compared to the good ones.

Are you saying there's good radical Islam out there????

Excon when was there war and who exactly is your enemy? So you basically agree with the Sniper that white cops are your enemy. I dare you to just tell me how other cops should be punished for what some did.

nothing

That would be jump conclusion, but then again it won't be the first time you'll be doing such. Let the investigators do their jobs and stop speculating and making your conspiracies. Smh.

Stepper... my comment is valid because your response of radical Islam has nothing to do with cops which was my point and what you brought up. You can't compare two vastly different "institutions" as you put that term.

It still doesn't justify killing cops because a few are bad. In which kids in radical Islam are actually raised to believe in those values (killing innocent people.) If you can't justify it reasonably... don't.

Stepper... No you can't. The reason the police force exists is far different than the reason radical Islam exists. You can't use institution as a reason to justify it. There's bad cops out there however there's plenty of good ones.

As radical Islam being an institution... can you name good up standing citizens of radical Islam?

You can't justify it reasonably.

Nothing can be done. The sniper was motivated purely by social media and BLM which chants "kill all cops" a lot. So we can't do anything about it until people start looking at anti cop groups which they won't.

ISIS isn't radical Islam. ISIS is an institution, radical Islam is an ideology.

Stepper:

I can't respond pass 8 so I am responding here. There was a video of an Islamic leader who I am unfamiliar with but even said ISIS was based on an ideology.. radical Islam... it's the same thing. You still can't justify it so I fail to see your comparison to the two.

We can say all IS members are probably bad being as they are an extremist group, given that they are taught that blasphemy is illegal at a very young age.. you can't say the same for all police force therefore the shooting wasn't justified.

I really don't know what you are getting at one has nothing to do with the other which you brought up in the first place.

My first point was that you can't justify it because not all police are bad and you brought up ISIS and institutions.

I feel like you are putting some collective ideology to the police force and you have failed to say why those particular police officers who were shot what their ideology was. There is no comparison between the two.
