The shooter in Dallas apparently had an automatic weapon, long rifle, based on the audio from the videos. White guy killed by police made hardly a note in the news.
The real issue is hate, and it’s well armed, thanks NRA.
I heard one person say one shooter had a police record. If this is true, then he acquired his weapon from a straw buyer, a gun show where background checks don’t happen, a private owner, or he stole it. The cartoon suggests that the police gun has it’s ‘sight’ on blacks. As long as police are underpaid, undertrained, and in some of our 18k police districts, undereducated… there will be police who thru bigotry, ignorance, or carelessness accidently shoot a person. It is sad so many recent videos show police using deadly force in cases where it was not needed.The hate speech being used by both sides of our 2 party oligarchy is raising tensions and encouraging minorities to distrust police and police to feel like targets … even the very best of our police. We need to ratchet down the hate, and speak to one another with respect and courtesy. We also need citizens to have jobs that pay a living wage so they can pay taxes that will properly pay police and other first responders as well as having more control in their lives. With a feeling that we are secure, we can be more tolerant when an occasional tragedy occurs.Black lives matter. Police lives matter. LIVES matter.Respectfully,C.
^Agree, C., and anyone who says racism, pretty much from all sides, actually, doesn’t exist in America, is subject to the Americans With Disablities Act (GHW Bush’s one good act), because they’re deaf, blind, and mentally challenged.
It’s much less work to blame the opposition and call them names than admit the adversarial method is useless for solving the issue, and instead have an intelligent discussion and actually solve the problem once and for all … too much work for slackers.

EVERYONE needs to look into their OWN cultural mirrors and stop ignoring the need to eradicate the distortions, and see reality.
