This was a Black Lives Matter protest march. Two snipers with rifles possibly in a parking garage shot ten Dallas officers, three are dead. I did see a report that a fourth died but I have no confirmation.
This shit is getting crazy just in time to distract us from Hillary.

The Dallas protest march was partially in response to the shooting of Alton Sterling on Tuesday in Baton Rouge, and the shooting on Wednesday of a Falcon Heights, Minnesota CCW holder Philando Castile, who was stopped for a broken taillight.

Here's why the video of the Baton Rouge shooting went viral so fast: LINK

I fully expect Obama to attempt to suspend everyone's rights tomorrow morning.

Some good info on the Baton Rouge shooting from Candyman would be nice, but I suspect he's under orders to "keep it zipped".

Update, 11 shot, 4 dead. This is going to get really really ugly.

If this stuff is being carried out by rogue elements of the Black Lives Matter group, then it's extremely obvious that they have little understanding of how to get the general public to support their cause.

Supposedly both shooters in custody.
Texas don't screw around on capital murder cases. These guys are looking at a needle and that right quick.
